Once when i was working as physician with a residential training program, many people came to me with the complaint of cough. They said that they have the cough after taking sour items served for their lunch. Sulph, Nux and Sepia generally worked for them. The remedies were differentiated on the basis of their other symptoms.

A patient came to me with a complaint of toothpain. He said that he was taking some remedies for toothpain at his town. He came here(to my town) last night but forgot to bring his medicines. He said that he wants immediate relief. He was all the way smiling while narrating his complaint.

I gave him Belladonna 200 along with Calc Fluor 30 bd for few days. This relieved his complaint. Of course i did the repertorial analysis after giving the remedies. i think that Bell worked here.

A person was having a blood pressure reading of 160/110 inspite of taking the allopathic medicines for high bp. He was under too much pressure to meet the cost of his younger daughter's engg college fees. He also had an altercation with his neighbor over some issues that her wife and elder daughter had with the neighbors. Aurum Met 30 bd for few days normalized his bp reading to 130/90.

Once i was working as a physician for a residential camp held for a month. The participants belonged to 40-65 age group. It was the winter season and sometimes there was much dust in the air due to winds. i used the following rubrics to shortlist remedies.

The indicated remedy worked well in most of the cases and therefore i decided to share this with you.

i gave him pulsatilla 30. It didn't help much. i gave him a dose of Bacillinum 200 followed by few doses of Phosphorus 200 which gave excellent relief.

What makes totality of symptoms? We can see that here the remedies that worked don't top the repertory chart. But these remedies do have influence over some of the symptoms. It means here constitution is defined by those symptoms and not the ones i think to be more significant. This is one of the major obstacle in deciding the homeopathic remedy. Patience and openness of mind help otherwise we may panic.

A patient came to me with a complaint of water like sensation in his ear. He said that earlier AIIMS doctor has told him that this condition is quite serious and it should be given due attention. i gave him bell 200. He got relief, still he went to the ENT specialist to confirm that there was nothing serious. i think that had i given him Aconite 200 he wouldn't have gone to the ENT specialist.

This is a very interesting case. A person who was undergoing training at a 30 day residential camp came to me. His age was 50 and he came to me with a complaint of dim vision in the left eye. He said that the complaint started recently. He also said that everything else is normal. He was given a single dose of Natrum Mur 200. Next day he came and said that there was no relief. Now as he saw that some patients are also referred to outside hospital for specialized treatment he said that he is actually suffering from diabetes and he wants to check about diabetic retinopathy. He also complained of constipation. He was given Argentum Nitricum 200 on the basis of following rubrics. He got overall better under the influence of Arg Nit like got relief in constipation. As far as his diabetic retinopathy is concerned it will depend on his seriousness to control his diabetes level. It will also need a long term homeopathic treatment. No

quick fix solutions can be expected for such issues.

A person came to the medical section for treatment of his fever. He said that he was chilly and thirstless. i asked him about his preference for medicines i.e. whether allopathy or homeopathy as the allopathy doctors were not presently available at that time. He said that he doesn't know about all these things. He never gets ill and he may take any medicine. i gave him Arsenic Alb 200. He was also given some antibiotic+crocin. i did the repertorial analysis afterwards. i was ready with china 200 for his second visit. He said that he felt good after taking only 2 doses of Arsenic Alb 200. He returned all allopathic medicines which he said made him feel very uneasy (1st dose itself, then he didn't take any).

She is an active home maker and does all household work. She

A lady came to me for the treatment of her alcoholic husband. Her hub works as an accountant and does petty accounting jobs. She said that when he drinks he keeps talking with her until late night. He doesn't scold or abuse her but he goes on talking and talking. Natrum Mur 200 was given in water and that settled his talking after drinks. Many remedies were tried to take him off the habit of drinking but so far no remedy has succeeded. Many remedies have partial effect but that effect can't be clearly attributed to the remedy.

A young boy 23 yo came to me with complaints of recurring pimples. He was mild in his behavior. He prefers cold surroundings. He has oily skin. He perspires much while exercising etc. Natrum Mur 1M single dose followed by sac lac provided excellent relief to him in his pimples. It also helped him for his perspiration. His skin doesn't get oily now. This is really surprising for me too as to how the oily skin can change under the influence of the remedy. But it happens.

A 36 yo gentleman got excellent relief on hepar sulph for his chronic productive cough where antibiotics could do nothing. He is a very irritable person and he just can't stand any strong worded criticism.

After a long time, he started having severe ear pain after being exposed to cold air. He said that he will go for herbal treatment (which he read in a book) as he is already discontented with allopathy but won't even follow homeopathy now. He narrated about his herbal experiments when he came to me. He said that he went to ENT specialist. The specialist diagnosed that he has hole in the ear drum. The specialist gave him antibiotics which resulted in mouth sores. Now this he can't support that for partial relief from one complaint other complaint is inflicted on him.

Merc Sol 200 bd for 3 days gave him excellent relief.

A 30 yo lady came to me with complaint of fever and body pain. She works as a maid. She asked me whether i don't have homeopathic dilutions instead of pills? Dilutions work faster in her opinion. She is coming to a nominal fee clinic and expecting highest possible expenditure to be borne by the physician. She has scanty menses. She desires cold surroundings. She is thirstless. She has a history of low blood pressure. Many mind rubrics were applied (read below) to account for her behavior as rarely do we get a direct rubric!! Pulsatilla 200 bd for 3 days provided her excellent relief.

A 15 yo girl came to me with her parents. Her mother told me that the child remains alone and doesn't mix up with her friends, rather she doesn't have any friends. She is not at all enthusiastic about her life like other young people. She has very irregular menses. This time she couldn't get her menses for many months. Even the allopathic treatment didn't help. She is a fat girl. She was given a single dose of Graphites 1M followed by placebo. She was also asked to take a herbal remedy (rajah pravartini vati) until she gets her menses. She got her menses within few days. Her mother reported that the girl appears to be more lively now. i asked them (parents) to provide her good support and care to sustain her liveliness.

A 28 yo man came to me with a complaint of anxiety with palpitations. He works as a construction worker. He got his ECG done at the govt hospital which was normal. He was not working due to palpitations as he worried about something serious happening. In the past he was treated successfully for his recurring abscess in arm pits with Silicea 200. He showed scant regard to me while meeting and talked in a very informal tone which was not warranted. Lycopodium 200 bd for 3 days provided excellent relief.

A 44 yo lady comes to me regularly for her various complaints. Initially when she came for cold and cough she generally did better on Nux Vomica. Later she started asking remedies for her gynec complaints. She did better for her profuse and debilitating leucorrhoea on calc carb 200. At times when i found her behaving like a typical home maker when she presented with a complaint of delayed menses or even leucorrhoea i gave her Pulsatilla 200 and she did well. Sepia 200 also helped at times when she presented herself in a complaining mood. She also did well for her recurring urticaria on Sulphur 200. It cured her chronic complaint of urticaria. When i did analysis for presenting her case i could see that i never gave her merc sol. i will see how that affects her if it is found indicated for her conditions when she visits in time to come. Here are some other details about her. She dresses at her best. Sometimes she complains about her relations. There is a mark of pride in her behavior.

A 42 yo lady came to me with a complaint of painful growth of her thumb joint (where the thumb joins the hand). It was accompanied by stiffness of thumb. This has happened after she injured her hand in an accident. She was given rhus tox 30, arnica 30 and symphytum 200 for one month. i opt for repetition of remedies in such cases and also go for combination remedies. There was 50% decrease in the growth. The pain and stiffness reduced by 90%. After one month she was given calc fluor 30 alongwith the aforesaid remedies in repeated doses . Symph 200, rhus tox 30 + arnica 30, calc fluor 30 were given in alternation. Pain and stiffness went away completely. The growth reduced by 70%. Later she was asked to take silicea 200 and calc phos 200 as weekly dose in alternation for one month which made her thumb joint almost normal.

This is one of my earlier cases where i never did any repertorial analysis. When i did the analysis for presenting the case, i could see many other remedies coming at the top, but i do think that the remedies that i used worked very well as specific remedies. This case raised my image in the eyes of my patients and it also reinforced my commitment to homeopathy. Today also i believe in organ and function remedies. Other polychrest remedies that occupy top positions on the repertorial chart should be used only on their clear cut indications. They can't be used as specific remedies.

This is a case of a 52 yo gentleman. He is known as a good administrator and he maintains warmth in all his social relations. He fell down from his scooter and injured his leg. He got treatment from an orthopaedic surgeon who ruled out any fracture after doing all tests. He didn't have any swelling in the morning. He got swelling by evening increasing gradually throughout the day. He was comfortable during rest and the pain increased by movements. i gave him bryonia 30 in repeated doses in the beginning for 15 days which did nothing substantial. Then rhus tox 30 + arnica 30 was given for 15 days. It provided 25% relief. Phosphorus 200 was given every week and rhus + arn was continued daily. This protocol provided him complete relief over one and half months.

A two yo baby was brought to me by his father for the complaint of severe itching. The baby has made many rashes and marks on his body due to itching. There was no relief from allopathic medication. He appeared to be very cheerful. He was smiling and with affectionate looks. His father said that he likes to eat food without any interference from others. He arranges the palate himself and doesn't like others feeding him. Libertinism and admonition agg rubrics are taken to reflect his aforesaid behavior. i agree that the meaning will change when the rubrics are applied to grown up people. He did well on Pulsatilla 30 in repeated doses. When there was relapse of complaint he was given Pulsatilla 200 od for few days which cured his urticaria. The baby preferred cold surroundings and open air.

A 57 yo gentleman came to me with a complaint of watery discharge from eye. He suffered from paralysis of right eye some 4 years back and he has this complaint since then. He feels better overall when he sits on a chair with his head bending backwards. Senega 200 fortnightly doses over 2-3 months provided him excellent relief. The watery discharge was stopped and the paralytic affection was greatly relieved.

A 51 yo gentleman came to me with complaint of right sided inguinal hernia. He works on daily wages and generally lacks confidence. He said that he doesn't have any other option but to go for surgery. He said that the government hospital is full of appointments and so his surgery can't be performed until next month. He said that his abdomen is always distended which worsens in the afternoon. He was given Lycopodium 1M. It relieved his abdominal distension and he got so much relieved that he didn't go for the surgery. He says that the hernia is not that troublesome abdominal distension was, so he doesn't see any need for the surgery.

This is an old case and the lady is complaint free since 2 years. A 28 yo unmarried lady came to me with complaint of stiffness and pain in her lower extremities. She has white swelling on her knees. She has more stiffness in the morning and her pain are worse after movements. She has taken lot of allopathic medicines for her pain which has stopped working now. She suffers from indigestion during menses. She gets aggravation in her pain after exposure to cold weather. She gets profuse and early menses. She said that her body pain has started after she had chikunguniya few years back but recently it has reached to unbearable levels.This case was done on the basis of characteristic materia medica. The repertorial analysis is done only for presentation purposes. She was given Rhus Tox 200 bd for few days which didn't give her any relief. Nux Vomica 200 provided some 25% relief. She told me that she gets burning in her palms during menses. She was asked to take Kali Carb 200 followed by Carbo Veg 200 which provided good relief to her on all counts. i would again like to mention that homeopathic prescribing involves lot of subjectivity. It also demands immediate attention for acute flare ups. Therefore being methodical always and rule abiding is not possible in real conditions. All cases are being shared as it is without decorating in any way for presentation.

A boy 17yo was brought to me by his father. He looked very weak. He had an ulcer on his lip which looked like a fever sore. His father handed over a file to me and said "He was hospitalized for few days after he fainted in his college." The file said that the boy was suffering from enteric fever. His father said that had fever even after discharge from the hospital and was given allopathic medicines. He feels weak, has haeadache and less appetite. i gave him Nux Vomica 30 bd for 7 days. Then after clinic hours i made the following analysis. i was all set to give him Arsenic Alb 30 when he visits me after 7 days. He didn't turn up on seventh day so i thought that he should have sought treatment somewhere else. On eightth day he appeared and said that he is alright now. No fever, no weakness, no lip sore, good appetite.

A 44 yo came to me with a complaint of chest pain. She went to a cardiologist for this complaint earlier. The cardiologist advised her hospitalization. It would cost her lots of rupees so she didn't do that.While narrating her complaint she was pressing her left breast and making some other extravagant expressions. The first rubric was applied for her overt expressions at a public place (the ngo clinic is a virtual public place). The second rubric for her perception that there is a serious problem with her heart. The third one for her fear that she will suffer a heart attack. Hyos 200 single dose was given and she

reported back after 7 days that there is no chest pain.

A 75 yo lady was brought to me by the volunteer who looks after the upkeep of NGO clinic. She told me that this old lady stays near the clinic. She is not given a single penny by her children and she doesn't have any source of income. So i should not charge even the nominal fee to her. The old lady started weeping. She said what a shame it is that those who are brought up as children do such things in our old age. She said that she has a constant discharge from her right ear. The discharge was not very thin like water nor very thick and viscous. It was slightly yellow. There was spasmodic pain in her ear. The pain was not continuous.

Pulsatilla 200 bd for few days provided good relief for her ear discharge and pain.

A 70 yo gentleman came to me. He said that he has arrived from his home city in the morning and until afternoon he couldn't pass stool. He feels like passing but couldn't do on attempting. Whenever he travels he gets constipated and finally needs enema.

He has been operated for prostate cancer twice. He still passes red urine but his reports show normal hemoglobin. He is a dedicated and enthusiastic worker for a social organisation. He still maintains full vigor in his work.

He was given a single dose of Nux Vomica 200. He informed on phone after few hours that he could successfully move his bowels to his full satisfaction. He expressed his pleasure that he didn't need any enema which is more or less indispensable for him in such conditions.

Patients come to me with a complaint of prostatorrhoea. They suffer from weakness due to loss of prostatic fluid while passing stool or at other times without erections. Selenium is a specific remedy for this complaint. i have used selenium 6 effectively in at least two cases. Other remedies with two Occurrences in the following chart are also quite effective. They may be given in high potency in few doses when well indicated. Of course any other remedy indicated on the basis of comprehensive analysis should also work.

A 72 yo lady came to me with her chief complaint of asthmatic breathing. She gets the complaint of short breath if she walks more than 100 meter. She is an obese lady. She is much worried about her family matters even though the things are going well. Her younger son manages to get some money from her anytime by telling her false stories about his compulsions. She never stays with one physician for a long time and changes her physician sooner or later. If someone asks her to recite a religious text so that her problems will be solved, she immediately agrees and starts doing recitals. She was given calc carb 200 bd for 2 days followed by sac lac. She reported after 15 days that she had a great relief in her problem of short breath. She can even climb staircase comfortably and reach 2nd floor now which was not possible earlier.

A 75 yo gentleman came to me with chief complaint of tremors of his hands. He is a very short tempered person. He finds fault with his family members but he can't sustain away from them. He gets angry at trifles and generally loses his balance of mind in the fit of anger. He remains busy with some task or other but fails to do any productive work. He is sensitive to sunlight as bright light aggravates his eyes. He can see comfortably at night (when lights are on). 7 doses of Stramonium 200 over 14 days (a dose every alternate day) provided appreciable relief for his hand tremors.

A lady brought her 6 month old kid to the clinic and sought treatment for haemangioma. The kid had haemengioma on his head and back. The allopathic doctor presiding as the chief of the clinic asked the lady to take her son to the government hospital. She said that she had been there but they denied any treatment. i intervened and said that let me give him a remedy and see how that affects over 7 days. The boy was playful and white saliva could be seen in his mouth. i gave baby a single dose of Thuja 1M. i did the repertorization afterwards and was all set to give Belladonna when the kid returns. When the lady brought her son back after a week i was pleasantly surprised to see the mass reduce by 50%. i gave him sac lac.

The moral of the story is - Don't underestimate power of specific remedies.

A 40 yo lady came to me with a complaint of swelling on her right hand. She said that she feels very irritated at home and is utterly upset. She has many complaints against her hub. She has cramping pain in her legs at night. She said that her knees are also much painful.She was asked to take Sepia 200 bd for 2 days followed by Natrum Mur 30 bd. She was asked to report after a week. She reported after a week that there is good relief in her pain. All swelling on her hand has gone. Still she gets cramping pain in her legs but that is much less now. She is also feeling quite well at mental level. i told her that look happiness can't be earned through remedies. Whatever short term relief the remedy has given should be used to develop a healthy attitude that will ensure consistent practical happiness. She is asked to take Natrum Mur 30 once in two days and report back after 2 weeks.The repertory may create some confusion. But if one reads Boericke materia medica one can find that Sepia and Natrum Mur are the indicated remedies here. i many times ask patients to take one remedy after another and i want to acknowledge here that this dosing many times works very well.

A 35 yo married gentleman came to me with the complaint of hypertension. When I checked his BP it was 180/120. I said man what are you doing? Why your BP is so high? He said that this is his normal. It is always like that. I asked him whether he has any symptoms due to his high BP. He said no. He gets breathless after exertion. I told him to mind his life style as there is a possibility of blockages in his heart. He should cut his fat intake, no red meat and very less oil. When asked about any problems that he might have in his life he said that he always remain happy and doesn't take any tension. He even forgets to take his allopathic BP medicine at times. I said that he should take his allopathic BP medicine religiously and explained that any lapse may prove fatal for him. He was given Lycopodium 200 bd for 2 days followed by Belladonna 200 bd for 5 days. Then i did the following analysis and was waiting for a week. He reported back after a week. He said that there is relief in breathlessness. When I measured his BP it was 160/110. I gave him a single dose of Sulphur 200 followed by Belladonna 200 bd for a week.

A 18 yo girl came to me for treatment of pimples on her face. They erupted suddenly after she applied an antibiotic cream on her face. The girl has a complaint of severe dysmenorrhoea on the first day of menses. She is a mild and affectionate girl. She is thirstless and even returns almost 70% full 1 litre bottle from her college. She prefers open air and cold surroundings. She complains of constipation which started recently. The girl has done well on Pulsatilla 200 earlier. Puls reduced her dysmenorrhoea drastically. Looking at the complaint of constipation I opted for Natrum Mur. She was given few doses of Natrum Mur 200 which did nothing for her. Then a single dose of Pulsatilla 1M was given followed by sac lac which reduced her pimples by 70% over 10 days. Even though the repertory throws up many remedies, the differential study of Materia Medica definitely helps for reaching the right remedy. It is also true that repertorization helps in reducing our bias for our favorite remedies.

That was an exceptional day at the clinic. The clinic that offers allopathic and homeopathic treatment didn't have presence of any allopathic physician. It is easy to treat old patients you have their medication schedule on their records. Of course, treatment of new patients demands close attention for making diagnosis.A mother brought her 8 yo son. The boy had swelling on his cervical lymph nodes and he was also having fever. The boy was restless while sitting. He lacked focus of mind while answering questions addressed to him. I decided to give him belladonna 200. The remedy was given bd for 2 days and then od for 4 days. Amox and para was also given. When allopaths are present they write prescriptions for new generation antibiotics as clinic doesn't hold any stock of expensive medicines.This is a weekly clinic. I did the analysis for the case for verifying the remedy given and to decide about

the next remedy. I was having pulsatilla in my mind for the second prescription. I was quite curious about the outcome of the remedy when I went to the clinic after a week. I discussed the case with an allopath who said that the boy needed new generation antibiotic. When the mother brought the boy, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the boy got relief in fever and cough. There was a substantial reduction in the swelling of lymph nodes. The mother said that the boy won't take the bitter medicine so give him only your sweet pills!!

People generally don't know that homeopathy can give good results in the treatment of psychological disorders like mania, insanity, delirium etc. I used to think earlier that remedies like Natrum Mur and Ignatia should do well if there is history of

grief. Similarly Staphysagria, if there is history of humiliation or mortification.A person who was coming to me for the treatment of himself and his family members once saw that I was dealing with a patient with psychological disorder. He asked me whether I could help for the case of his 50 yo sister with similar problems. He also described her behavior which is represented by the following rubrics. The rubrics are self explanatory so no details are given here to avoid typing.She was given Natrum Mur 200 which didn't help her. She got good relief from Belladonna 200. She cooled down a great deal in her delirium and other compulsive outbursts.

complaints like fever and allergies before menses. All these complaints subside on their own with the commencement of menstrual flow. When asked about her family she said that she is a divorcee.

A 46 yo lady came to me with a complaint of watery and gurgling diarrhoea in the evening. The lady generally does well for her complaints on Lycopodium. But this time it was an altogether different complaint. She had some heavy food on the day of festival. She started having loose motions on the second day. Her condition was not responding to the allopathic medicines. She was hospitalized in the night. She was discharged from the hospital still she continued with watery and gurgling diarrhoea. She passed 25 loose motions after her discharge from the hospital. i decided to go for specific. i gave her Aloe 200 (and Nux Vomica 200 to be taken with a gap of hour). The remedies were to be taken bd for few days. She reported very next day that her complaint was relieved with the very two doses she took last night. She complained of calf pain and asked remedy for the same. She also complained of severe bitter taste in mouth. She also asked whether the remedies are to be continued after relief. i asked her to continue with the remedies for 2 days. i also asked her to keep herself well hydrated as calf pain was due to dehydration.

A constitutional remedy is the one that is worked out on the basis of core traits of the patient's personality. When the constitutional symptoms are adjusted for the presenting symptoms we get the indicated remedy. The constitutional approach is not supported by the Organon of Medicine. Organon says that one should take only the changed symptoms for prescribing and not the constitutional symptoms. In my opinion the constitutional mind symptoms act as concomitants and they do play a significant role for individualizing the patient. It is also true that if we try to take only the changed symptoms we have pathology specific symptoms which are not that effective for selecting a homeopathic remedy.

Let me explain the working of this approach with the help of a case. This is a case of a 77 yo gentleman who has been under my treatment since 5 years. The following are his constitutional mind symptoms collected through personal interaction with the patient and his relatives.

He jests over matters in the course of enjoying a festival or a get together.He presents himself to others in the best possible manner ie eulogizes himself for anything and everything that he does.He focuses on dark side at each achievement of his family members. Even makes moments of celebration mournful.He takes pride in everthing that he has, gives excuses for everything that he doesn't have and magnifies his ego.He is quite ambitious and sets quite high standards of performance for himself and others tooHe can't see others doing better than him.He always remains in the state of animationHe gets pleased when other people say anything good (which may not be true) about him or his familyHe suffered many adversities in his childhood, can't weep as an effect thereof after any dreadful mishap that may occur.He seeks appreciation for his work He gets involved wholeheartedly in his businessHe doesn't do things naturally many times, affectation is seen in many of his gestures.He takes interest in philosophing about karma, spirituality etcWhenever he gets jealous of others he pities himself for his own limitations of resources

He got fever 5 years ago and was undergoing allopathic treatment. He lost his appetite in the course of allopathic treatment. He also had alternating diarrhoea and constipation during his illness. He also developed severe insomnia. He regained his health after few doses of Lycopodium 200 and repeated doses of Nux Vomica 200. This happened about 5 years ago.4 years ago he developed severe itch on his hand which responded very well to a single dose of Sulphur 30.Around same time and later on also whenever he suffered from vertigo in the morning or diarrhoea after eating irregularities he responded well to Nux Vomica 200.Once he got sick after a quarrel broke out between his sons. He got immediate relief from Natrum Mur 200.6 years ago he had purple spots on his hand which were treated by another homeopath with Lachesis 200.

So the constitutional approach helps but one should not ignore presenting symptoms. The constitutional symptoms give you the perspective but you have to decide for the presenting symptoms.

Rhus Tox is an ace remedy for stiffness where first motion is difficult. Where the pain is better by continuous motion. It is well indicated in affections arising out of injuries, falls, blows etc. Rhus Tox pains are better by warm applications hence it is generally considered as a winter remedy.

i use it liberally as these are quite common conditions. The person whose constitutional analysis is done at the following link did well on rhus tox for his stiffness of hands in the winter season. You can see that Rhus Tox doesn't appear in the top 20 remedies for his constitutional analysis. So motion and time modality can overrule the constitutional analysis at times. No need to say that homeopaths become very confused at times (or many times ) while making selection of the indicated remedy.

She was apprehensive even about insignificant matters. She passed stool every alternate day. She get very close to the physician emotionally while narrating her complaints. She said that all her pains are relieved during her menses. She had frequent complaints of profuse watery discharge from her nose.

Lycopodium 200 bd followed by sac lac provided overall relief in all her complaints. Her panic attacks reduced drastically and she no more has any fear of crowds. Her pains have reduced considerably and her watery coryza is gone. She was also given Silicea at her later visits. Even though the repertorization is throwing up many remedies, those who are conversant with the Materia Medica will understand that Lyc and Sil are indicated here.

Son of this gentleman called me at 9 pm. He said that his father is complaining about his ear complaint. He is having the complaint since few days but just now he is concerned about the

problem and needs homeopathic treatment for the same. The son reported that instead of asking directly for the help his father is asking whether he can get some homeopathic help. Normally he doesn't tolerate someone reprimanding him on any issues. But the son reported that he is yielding to his reprimands on delaying the treatment and not hitting back.

i asked son to come and collect the remedy after half an hour meanwhile i did the above analysis. i decided to for Pulsatilla as the changed symptoms pointed to Pulsatilla. Generally i am not comfortable with Pulsatilla for fiery and ambitious business people. But here i decided to deviate from my practice.

After two days it was reported that Pulsatilla didn't help. i went for a comprehensive analysis and gave Sulphur which helped.

A 50 yo lady came to me with a chief complaint of heel pain. She said that she sweats a lot and that makes her tizzy. While talking she was suddenly speaking loudly and laughing but there was no harshness in her behavior. When asked about her occupation she said that she is always busy with her tailoring work. Lycopodium 200 bd for two days followed by Rhus Tox 200 intermittently provided excellent relief in all her complaints.

He bursts in anger at home and threatens his parents liberally. i gave him Hepar Sulph 200 bd for 2 days followed by sac lac and asked him to come after 15 days. He reported relief in suppurating eruptions after 15 days, but there was no relief in his oily skin. i gave him Natrum Mur 200 bd for 2 days followed by sac lac for 15 days. He reported back that there is relief in oily skin but some suppuration has started. i gave him merc sol 200 followed by sac lac.

Now if one does the hair splitting, one can say that the case belongs to Hepar Sulph (of course the first choice on the basis of analysis becomes Tuberculinum) as this case is a clear application for the following rubric

So in practical scenario the physician doesn't break his head for hitting the perfect similimum, he goes through the possible remedies one by one.

Another point, specific rubrics like the following though fit very well for the case, they don't have the obvious remedies. Therefore knowledge of Materia Medica is very helpful. You use the broader rubrics when you find that specific rubrics don't have obvious remedies.

i adopt the same approach of totality of symptoms for fever cases also. If the modalities are decisive for eg if summer heat is the reason of fever i go for the remedies like bryonia, natrum mur, glonoine etc. Similarly if the fever is after overeating i go for Nux Vomica, Pulsatilla etc.

In other cases i give importance to mind symptoms when the causative factor is not identifiable clearly. Needless to say that one should give the remedy which takes best care of peculiar symptoms of the case.

This is a case of two kids of a lady who works as a home-maid. The lady earns money by working as a maid while her hub remains unemployed most of the time. He verbally abuses her in front of all.

Once the lady brought me her daughter 8 yo with a complaint of fever. She was having severe headache on the right temple.

i gave lycopodium 200 to the girl and she responded well. At other times when she had fever she responded well to Pulsatilla and Nux Vomica. Only one remedy was given at a time.

Her younger brother also reponds well to the remedies Nux Vomica and Pulsatilla for his fever.

i didn't give other remedies as they did well on the aforementioned remedies. i don't believe that only the selected remedy can provide the necessary stimulation to the vital force. i believe that other seemingly indicated remedies can also do well.

Initially i was in favor of antipyretics and antibiotics for fever but now i am quite confident of the homeopathic remedies for fever.

A 17 yo boy came to me with the complaint of stomach upset. He ate some junk food at the marriage ceremony and his complaints started thereafter. He has urge to pass stool many times but couldn't do so. He was not answering to the point and marked reduction in his comprehension was seen. He said that he took some allopathic medicines which didn't help. Nux Vomica 200 bd for 2 days cleared all his complaints.

A 68 yo woman came to me with a complaint of bleeding from rectum while passing stools. She was full of fear after watching blood dropping and spreading. She said that her anus feels constricted and it is very difficult for her to pass stool. She had a malignant tumor in her breast which was surgically removed 4 years ago. She has chronic pain in lower extremities due to issues with her lower vertebrae of spinal cord. She has herniated disc so Rubric 7 should be most appropriate than Rubric 5 or 6. Still you can note that a large number of remedies are common in these three rubrics. It may be due to the common homeopathic symptom that these different pathologies produce.

A 47 yo lady came to me with the complaint of numbness in her extremities. She is a mild mannered lady but she appears to be sad. The expression of suffering could be seen on her face. She has a strange habbit of laughing very loudly suddenly in the course of discussions. She said that during her last menses she has too much pain. She rushed to an allopathic doctor and took a pain-killer injection. This has never happened before. She gets profuse menses. She gets her menses irregular too as probably she is reaching her menopause. She is a light sleeper and her sleep gets disturbed by slight disturbances. She is always busy doing household work. She did well on the remedies like Sepia, Calc Carb and Phosphorus in the past. Calc helped her for her sleep and it also reduced her menstrual flow. Sepia was given for her acute headache and some other acute issues. Phosphorus too worked on it's indications at other times. This time i decided to see how Cocculus works as this is not my favorite remedy. i could have given one of the earlier remedies but i opted for cocc due to the latest complaint of dysmenorrhoea. To my surprise the lady got relief for her numbness on the very first dose of Cocculus 30. Repertorization does enhance our outlook of remedies and the lovers of Materia Medica can also use repertory for writing more effective prescriptions.

A 6 yo boy was brought to me by his granny. The boy is having fever after he travelled from his town to his granny's home in summer heat. Granny said that he is still having hot head inspite of taking paracetamol. The boy was looking quite prostrated and confused. There was no violence in his delirium. He was asked to take Belladonna 200 bd for 3 days. He got complete relief from the first dose itself. The granny was so impressed by the action of homeopathic remedy for fever that she came with another fever patient on the very next day.

A 75 yo gentleman came to me with the complaint of paralyzed left hand and paralytic weakness in legs. There is obviously stiffness in his extremities. He got the paralytic attack 2.5 years ago. When he was hospitalized that time he developed bed sore which was treated after a month's allopathic treatment. The stiffness is worse when he gets up in the morning. He said that he was kept in ICU 2.5 yrs back and definitely that worsened his paralysis as he can't bear cold surroundings. He further said that his wife is a bed ridden pateint and he feels persecuted due to the condition of both of them. I asked him to take Causticum 200 in the morning and Rhus Tox 200 in the evening for 15 days. He was also asked to take a tablet of Trayodashang Guggulu twice a day. Trayodashang Guggulu is a specific remedy for paralysis in ayurveda. He reported relief after 15 days but of course substantial relief will take it's own time.

A 75 yo lady is under my treatment since 5 years. She is an affectionate lady. She doesn't support injustice done to anybody. She at times feels anguish for her state of sufferings. She stays alone

and seeks company but in the latter case too she gets disturbed. She has nodosities on her finger joints. She was heavily injured some 5-6 years ago and her fracture and the inflammation around the fracture did better only after she took Symphytum 200. She gets disturbed sleep. She doesn't like being consoled for her condition. She weeps easily while talking to others. Her tears are not pitiable but rather stylish. She did better with Sepia, Lyc, Ars, Phos, Calc given to her as single remedy at different points of time. She didn't do as well on causticum and nux vomica.

A 90 yo gentleman was admitted to a hospital due to weakness. He was re-admitted to the hospital after being discharged. His relatives asked me to give him some homeopathic remedies if possible. When i visited the hospital i could see that he was having senile dementia. He was hardly eating anything. He was having low blood pressure though in the past he used to have high blood pressure. Due to his peculiar position in the family he couldn't express himself freely and he was somehow trying to maintain the image his relatives hold of him in their minds. He is a patient with chronic constipation. i gave him Lycopodium 200 bd for 3 days followed by Natrum Mur 200 in the same way. It was informed after 5 months that he was discharged soon from the hospital and he is doing well since then.

He ate raw mangoes and there was a strange sensation and pain in his mouth. He massaged with sarso tel (mustard oil) and that resulted in sores in his mouth below lower gums. The following rubrics are self explanatory for his condition. He was put on Sulph - Nux protocol and he reported good overall improvement with gum sore, mouth soreness and constipation. He was given Sulph 200 in the morning and Nux 200 in the evening for 3 days. Gum sores and mouth soreness was substantially better on the second day itself.

A 45 yo lady mother of two children came to me with a complaint of joint pain. She said that she does all work at her home but she also has lot of joint pain. She is a widow since 15 years. She said that her uterus was removed 10 years ago as she couldn't bear severe pain during her menses. She dresses so well that hardly anyone can believe that she is a widow. I gave her Sepia 200 keeping in mind her history of painful menstruation and uterus removal. Sepia didn't help. The ace remedy for joint pain Rhus Tox 200 also didn't help. She got relief on Conium 200.

A 77 yo gentleman came to me with a complaint of watery diarrhoea. It started at 10 pm in the night. He was also having cramping pain in his abdomen. He is an honest person. He left his lucrative job as he was not comfortable with corrupt practices. He opted for self employment and

lived in financial hardships. He is very particular about the work in his hand. He gets diarrhoea with least change in his regular diet. This is his old complaint but other than this he is generally healthy. Nux Vomica relieved him of the cramping pain but he passed many stools during night. He was given Aloe 200 od for 2 days and Nux Vomica 200 bd also for 2 days. Looking at his age and the summer season, he was also given ornidazole+oflox, famotidine and loperamide for 2 days. Homeopathic remedies go well with allopathic remedies. In many cases the patient is saved of it's side effects like constipation after taking loperamide etc. He got alright in 2 days. Whether Sulph or Ars could have worked better? Whether they could have dealt with the situation without any intervention of allopathic medicines such questions always remain unanswered in clinical scenario!!

A 55 yo lady came to me. She sells fried food products at her own road side stall. She lives in a very big joint family. There are 27 members in her family. There are lot of quarrels daily due to

alcoholism of male members, loss of privacy etc. She has to stand for a long time to do the frying work. She has back pain due to this. At times she feels badly offended after quarrels. One can see lot of grief and suppressed anger on her face. She was given Ignatia 200, Calc Carb 200, Natrum Mur 200, Staphysagria 200 at different points of time.

18 yo boy was coming to me for the treatment of his complaint of prostatorrhea while passing stools. He was doing well on selenium. He always used to tell me that the homeopathic pills that i give are very powerful. He feels the action of the remedy in his head and the whole body immediately after taking the pills. He likes to take pills before sleeping otherwise he feels uneasy while doing his work. One day he came to me with a complaint of yellow discharging boils on neck. He said that he went to a hospital and got few boils drained but other boils cropped up. He was worried as the doctor said that detailed tests would be needed if the boils won't heal. He was first given Merc Sol 200 which didn't help much. Calc Sulph 200 cured his boils. Calc Sulph is a specific for boils. Here it's synthetic indication on the basis of it's calc and sulph elements can also be seen.

He can't take heavy meals during the day as he feels sleepy after doing so. He was given a single dose of Calc Carb 200 followed by sac lac. He was also advised to take 20 ml Arjunarishta daily. He reported after 15 days that he got relief in his chest pain but the pain reappears as soon as Arjunarishta is stopped. Again calc 200 followed by sac lac was given and Arjunarishta was advised. Again he came back with the same feedback. Then he was given Lycopodium 200 followed by sac lac with which he got excellent relief. Now he takes Arjunarishta only

occasionally. Arjunarishta is an ayurvedic medicine. Arjuna Q is also used widely as a homeopathic remedy.

A 45 yo patient came to me with a complaint of severe lumbar pain. He said that he had been suffering from lumbar pain since 12-14 months. The pain is worse after waking. Somehow he just wants to get out of his bed as soon as he wakes up. Sometimes when he goes to bed he keeps on changing his position as it is quite painful to sleep in the same position for a longer time. Now suddenly the pain has increased and he thinks that it is just not an acute flare up but it may be a severe deterioration of a chronic complaint. He thought of taking an allopathic painkiller due to

the severity of pain but didn't take as it may have serious side effects. A single dose of Rhus Tox 10M substantially ameliorated his back pain within 12 hours.

On the next day he reported that he got complete relief but he took 5 doses instead of three. He also didn't follow the restriction on food in the evening as he didn't have any choice. You can see that the patient is impatient and Nux worked for him!! He said that he can't hold his hunger and he eats anything that is available at his meal time. So sometimes when you prescribe on incomplete information you can still learn when you analyze your result!!

A 25 yo boy came to me for the treatment of his psychiatric disorders. He said that he has been under the treatment of a renowned psychiatrist for past several years. He is taking a tranquilizer daily in low dose. The psychiatrist wanted to increase the dose of medicine but he didn't do so as he feared of addiction and side effects. He told me many things about his past and asked me many things about homeopathy. He wanted to know as much as he can about the method of treatment. He came to me many times in a short span of 3 days. He was first given Nux Vomica 200 od for 5 days which didn't help much. Lycopodium helped for his constipation and overall too he felt better on Lyc.

He was asked to take Carbo Veg 200 before food and Nux Vomica 200 after food twice a day. He started feeling better within few hours itself and he reported complete releif in 3 days. i think that carbo veg did the job here.

A 21 yo boy went to an allopathic doctor for the treatment of pain from a minor injury. The doctor told him that his back pain may not be a minor one, it could be pain due to kidney stone. The boy started weeping after coming back to his home. When one of his family members admonished him he cried more. He was angry that his family is not doing further investigations for kidney stone. Pulsatilla 200 bd for 3 days calmed him down. Later his family members got the investigations done (reports were normal) to allay his fear. i think that Belladonna would have corrected his desire for light as Pulsatilla is not there in that rubric.

A 26 yo boy came to me with a complaint of cough and cold in the month of hot summer. When i asked him about his chronic complaints, he said that he has pain in his right ureter. Lycopodium is considered as a prime remedy for pain in right ureter. So i gave him

Lycopodium 200 bd for 3 days and told him that this may resolve his ureter pain. He came 2-3 times for the remedy for cold within three days though each time he confirmed that the ureter pain is gone. So his clinging to the physician further confirmed Lycopodium. The seasonal cold and cough has to go away either due to the remedy or even on it's own. In this case the seasonal cold resolved a chronic complaint.

A 65 yo gentleman came to me with a complaint of anal fistula. He finds himself in a fearful condition but can't do anything more about it than feeling sad or weepy. His daughter who eloped with a goon decade back lives under constant threats and humiliation. He lacks courage to set things right with a firm hand. He is very loquacious but at times his talks don't make any sense. He has unresolved matters regarding a huge ancestral property that he inherits. He lives under a fear of losing his social and financial status. 

Graphites 1M gave him excellent relief for his fistula. He cancelled his plans to treat his fistula surgically.

She couldn't bear the rise in temperature during journey and she started suffering from diarrhoea and weakness. The problem still persists. She is persistently thinking about stools and vomiting and she could see that dirty stuff all around. She even thinks that she is full of filth.

A 36 yo lady came to me with a complaint of weakness, perspiration and getting thin. i gave her Natrum Mur 200. Later when she came back after a long time she said that she wants to discuss a very personal problem. She said that she is suffering from frigidity. She doesn't have any enjoyment in any form of sex. She further said that her hub has lice on his pubic hair. She also saw some lice on her legs after intercourse. She thinks that she got infected fron her hub and that may be the reason for her weakness, getting thinner, frigidity etc. Her

hub was successfully treated with Sulphur 200 for his lice issue. Looking at her constitution i thought that Natrum Mur should work for her. i gave her Natrum Mur 200 followed by sac lac. This didn't help her for her frigidity. i decided to go for a supplementary specific remedy. i gave her Natrum Mur 200 followed by Onosmodium 200. She happily reported that she feels some sexual arousal after the latest course of treatment.

A 30 yo man was giving demonstration of climbing down a rope from 2nd floor to ground floor. He was not supposed to glide, he was supposed to climb down by taking fresh grips at each stage. He didn't understand and he glided down in one go. He was wearing a half pant and he held the rope firmly by his legs too (crossed). When he glided down he found that he wounded himself due to bruised injuries on his thighs. The injuries were very painful and looked like a wound. 10 doses of Hypericum 200 every taken every hour helped greatly for the pain and healing.

The hollow tooth that is painful is aggravated by pressure. It is also sensitive to cold food. The gentleman has become sulky and taciturn due to the toothache. Some of his gums holding the incisors have receded 15-17 years ago. He has a fear that the pain of the hollow tooth may rise manifold and it may need intervention by a dentist. He generally does well on Nux Vomica for his chronic headache. Sulphur, calc and merc also helped him for his various compalaints at different points of time.

A 25 yo lady came to me with a complaint of breathlessness while yawning. She also gets breathless after exertion. She is separated from her hub and lives at her father's place. She is not financially independent and her father's financial position is also not sound. She has a 4 yo child. She was cheerful when she presented her case to me. It is nothing short of being foolish to be cheerful in her prevailing conditions. She gets angry from contradiction. She gets irritated at trifles. She doesn't open up easily and she doesn't share what she has on her mind. At home she remains sad and taciturn. She rests her head on a big pillow while

sleeping. She was having neck pain since few days and it got relieved after massage. She lacks courtesy and behaves rudely. She is haughty and she disregards others many times. Ignatia 200 bd for 3 days followed by Belladonna 200 od for 7 days provided excellent relief for her breathlessness.

A 45 yo lady came to me with a complaint of painful corns on the soles of her feet. She said that these corns have reappeared after they have been surgically removed. She said that she is not at all comfortable with these corns and she is looking for some way out. She said that she gets sentimental whenever any such issue arises. She feels sad about the recurrence of corn after surgical removal. She was talking with me respectfully during her case interaction. The lady did well on Antimonium Crud 200 od for 7 days for her corn. She got complete relief for her corn on Sulphur 200.
