Can homoeopathy restore structural changes?

     In homoeopathy curing overgrowth of tissues to normal structure is very difficult and quiet controversial. Many homoeopaths believes that homoeopathic medicine cannot alter or reverse structural changes that occurs in tissue. And somewhat they are right. In some cases homeopathy has no or little hope for cure, some homeopaths are not agree with this. I would like to share a case even with structural changes can be restore to normal with help of homeopathy. Though, I am not going to mislead any young and fresh homeopaths to believe that they can cure ANY case with homeopathy, yes it is sad but, even homeopathy has some limits in pure surgical case, advanced malignancy, involved any vital organs etc.

     So I am going to share a case of Lipoma. Everybody know what Lipoma is? Right? Lipoma is simple overgrowth of fat in skin. They are hard and mobile under skin. They are not causing any pain pan it can cause inconvenient in day to day life. In allopathic mode of treatment they don’t have any medication so they recommends incision and removal with minor surgery. The cause of Lipoma is not known. Lipoma can be simple single node or multiple nodes. They can appear on any superficial part of body (under skin). In homoeopathy curing Lipoma is very difficult and demands time and patience. Sometimes it takes so much time that patient give up to taking medicines! Lipomas are sycotic, so they can be treat with anti-sycotic homeopathic medicines.

     There are some specific homeopathic medicines that help to treat Lipoma but, I would suggest to find similimum medicine. Because finding specific medicine on simple node is hard and you cannot prescribe any medicine on single symptom. And that would be just; overgrowth on skin! This is reason why some cases cannot be cure with homoeopath, because of lack of characteristic symptoms.

A CASE:
     Some time ago I case of node on neck of a child. He was about 11 year old boy. He had overgrowth fat tissue on right side of neck. Causing no pain. Size was about 1 to 1.5 inches and it was a single node. Diagnose was too easy. Child had no problem with this but his mother had. She thought it was the tumor as it was growing in size. Boy wasn’t treated with homoeopathy, his mother was a homoeopathic believer! She want to treat node with homoeopathy. Node was there since last year, it was first small and they came in to notice. He was treated with homeopathically in his village, and his node was resolved. But after few time it reappeared on same site.

     In boy’s appearance he was lean, thin and tall with dark complexion. He was poor in sport, but he was good in study. His appetite was good but cannot eat. There is nothing specific that he liked except spicy noodles. He refuse to eat routine food at home. Stool and urine was normal. He craves cold things that accomplished that he was hot patient. Tongue was clean and moist, became thirsty frequently, and generally drinks a glass at a time. When he sleeps he sleeps with mouth open. Cannot remember any dreams.

     About his mental generals, he was too shy. In school he did not fight with any other boy, even when he was angry. He likes to make new friends, new contacts but he did not approach them first. After long case study I gave him lycopodium 30C. In few days I get any results but after a month node shrank a little and gave me a little hope. And then I continued lycopodium 30C for few months and then started give him placebo. Within 6 months his node was 95% resolved and in few time latter it disappeared.

Leucorrhoea & Homoeopathy

     Leucorrhoea is one of the general diseases that occurs to female. Leucorrhoea is basically fungal or bacterial infection, but it can be very irritating to those female who having it. Before studying case here is few specific homoeopathic remedies that can help in leucorrhoea:

Ammonium Carb: Leucorrhoea is watery, acrid, profuse discharge from vagina with excoriation of vulva. There is cholera like diarrhea at beginning of menses.

Alumina: Leucorrhoea is acrid and profuse, running down to the heels which becomes worse during day and relieved by cold bathing.

     So, these were few remedies that can helps with leucorrhoea. Now let’s see a case of leucorrhea. A 25 year old female was having leucorrhoea since 2 months. She came to me and she said I only trust homoeopathic medicines don’t give me allopathic medicine. And then I asked why did you take so much time to consult a doctor? She replied I am new here and I didn’t know any homoeopathic clinic here.

     She said she had leucorrhoea which is itchy & causing burning. Discharge is acrid and copious. Smells bad. Leucorrhoea was relieved by seating and becomes worse by walking. She had typical type of tongue; mapped tongue. In her past history she had caesarian section 4 to 5 months ago and having history of renal stone. On my point of view patient was psoric. About her thermal was hot, as she craves cold. She like spiced and salted food. She is thirst less one. And after few hours of case taking I prescribed her Natrum Mur 200C. After a week her leucorrhoea was cured.

Case of Blackish Eruption

             About a year ago I treated a case of blackish eruptions that I would like to share today.
            I was reading some old case for study and then Prakash showed up as patient. When he entered in to my consulting room I looked at him and ask him ‘how are you?’ He said that he was fine but an eruption was troubling him for long time. He had tried so many medicines (obviously allopathic medicines!) without any satisfactory results. After so many efforts his friend gave him advice to try homoeopathic medicines. So he asked me “can you really cure these eruption?” and then I replied positively. That was some chitchat before took his whole case because it is very important to be familiar with you patient in order to get all the history from patient.
                He was having a blackish eruption on both legs (below knee). Those eruption was too itchy especially at night, and that was occurring since 6 months. Eruptions were appearing and disappearing after few days. That means old eruptions were disappearing and new one on new site take its place. On beginning eruptions were reddish in color but in a day or two it turns in to dark (blackish) in color. Eruptions were round in shape about 2 to 3 inches in diameter, some of them were small too. He said scratching them gave him some relieve in itching but afterwards its burns and smarts and even bleed sometimes. I asked besides scratching what relieved itching? He replied that he has to take bath especially with hot water. Whenever he bath his itching was relieved. That was then because now it was spreading on hands (below elbow). On my observation his skin was too dirty, probably lack of cleanliness (which was true). I also asked which limb was first to affect? He replied it was left.
                I asked about its origin and he told me it was began on left foot with small eruption, first he neglected but when it was spread then it became issue. I asked was there any history or event that occur before this. He said yes doctor there was an accident! He said about 7 months ago he was going to wine shop on foot and a dog bite him on left leg! Wound was not too deep.  First his wound was treated by local allopathic physician, and then he too vaccination (for rabies) from government hospital.
                Before dog bite there was small abscess with pus, and he was taking antibiotic for that. And then I asked him “was time difference between dog bite and these blackish eruptions.” He replied it was about a month.
                Then I began to collect other symptoms to make totality. I asked how his sleep was. He said on beginning it is hard to fall asleep because of itching and then it was fine. I asked about his dreams. He replied with slow voice he was dreaming having sex with other girl. His original word was “ganda” (means bad). Appetite was good, he always hungry at midnight 2-3 AM. And can’t tolerate his hunger. His thirst was good, he drinks lots of water about 8-9 glasses, even at night also he drinks 2-3 glasses of water. He was hot patient.
               In his history he was alcoholic. On very first his first asked me does homoeopathy works after drinking alcohol? His father had operation on valve of heart and mother had hypertension. He was young (24years) but still alcoholic and for few time he had hypertension. And he also had liver abscess few years ago. He was very chat friendly fellow. His parents don’t know about alcohol, he sometimes fear that they will know. He was very impatient and rowdy.
              One thing about his mantle was very striking, he said he was becoming dog!!! (Of course mentally!) He said he was becoming more irritable after dog bite.
             So that was the case, but first I had to give him sulphur, because he had taken lots of medicine before coming to me so there was a miasmatic block which needs to removed and sulphur done the trick. I first gave him sulphur and asked him to come after 15 days. And then I gave him Lachesis 200 for a week. After week he was feeling lot more better both mentally and physically, after few days his eruptions were disappearing from hands and then from legs! Even his desire to drink alcohol was decreased.
                So this was a case, hope you like it, please comment if you have query.
