A case of Primary Hypertension in a young man of 21 years, of wheatish complexion, 5’8″ height, average build, prominent belly, numerous chicken pox marks on face, few moles on left face, receding hairline, less body hair, gap in teeth and having long tapering fingers.

Flatulent Dyspepsia – Malaria officinalis

A middle-aged man with very sharp features and shiny nails consulted me for his complaints of indigestion with which he had been suffering for last 3-4 years. He would pass a lot of wind and felt bloated most of the times. His bowel movements were unsatisfactory and were the cause of his main worry as he had to go many times to the toilet. He had been on numerous medicines both homoeopathic (like Nux vomica, Lycopodium, Podophyllum etc.) and allopathic and none had given him relief for long. Hearing this I asked one of my students to take his case in detail.

Homeopathy :: Patients not seen but prescribed

I work in a charitable hospital where there are four different cabins of doctors serving Allopathy, Ayurveda, Homoeopathy and eyes specialization. It is a normal practice with patients to report personally for taking medicines in all these faculties but it is abnormal if some one comes with the request that he needs medicine for the patient at home.

Molluscum Contagiosum :: A case of Molluscum Contagiosum – Malaria Off.

A young boy in his teens was brought by his parents for consultation. He was of thin built, wheatish complexion, having numerous eruptions on face and limbs with characteristic pitting on the top. He had been having these eruptions for few years and though he had been under much treatment both allopathic and homoeopathic he had not improved.

Widening Interest in Homoeopathy – a career perspective

In modern scientific age, out of the world-recognized systems of medicine, Homoeopathy has acquired a great advancement within a short time in India. This system of medicine is very simple, gentle, economic, non-toxic, free from side effects, and is based on the principle – Similia Similibus Curentur.

Homeopathy :: Homoeopathy n Case Taking

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY CASE TAKING: – To find out the most similimum drug after getting the totality (qualitative & quantitative data) of the given case. With a good case taking more than half the battle is won. Dr Hahnemann has clearly mentioned some instructions regarding case taking in the 5th edition of Organon’s Aphorism no.43-104, 139-141,150-152,147-171.Also in the aphorism no he has cautioned us to be unprejudiced observer. That means; before case taking, the physician should be unconditioned with respect to his moods, unbiased with respect to his drugs, flexible like amoeba to take 100% impression. This and above all we should be a KEEN OBSERVER.
