Once when i was working as physician with a residential training programme, many people came to me

of their other symptoms.

course i did the repertorial analysis after giving the remedies. i think that Bell worked here.

40-65 age group. It was the winter season and sometimes there was much dust in the air due to winds. i

confirmed from other presenting symptoms of the patient. The indicated remedy worked well in most of
the cases and therefore i decided to share this with you.

the service of his spiritual master. He complained of itching on his legs. He was thirstless. He was
inclined towards philosophical thinking. Sulphur 200 provided him complete relief. i voted in favor of
Sulphur irrespective of the fact that it couldn't top the chart. Though pulsatilla covers all rubrics here,
these kind of people can be pulsatilla rarely.

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.

doctor has told him that this condition is quite serious and it should be given due attention. i gave him

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).

pain disappears with the start of menses. She is an active home maker and does all household work. She

has been to the leading homeopath for this problem. She gets relief from the medicine but there

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. All the remedies are given to him without his knowledge.

An obese person 45 yo came to me accompanied by his roommate. The roommate said that we are
staying in a dormitory. This gentleman snores so badly that it has become a problem for all his
roommates. The gentleman said that he is physically fit. He likes sweets a lot. He can't compromise on
having sweets. He is very lively and happy always. He was given Calc Carb 200 bd for few days followed

by sac lac. The reperting was done before his second visit was due. Calc worked well for him and his
roommates could sleep peacefully. So there was no need to revise the remedy. He was given lot of sac
lac and few doses of calc carb 200 to be taken on relapse.

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 50 yo gentleman came to me with the complaint of stiffness in extremities in the morning. He has
many lipomas on his back and abdomen. He also has many warts all over his body. He talks a lot and
remains in the state of exhilaration. He helps poor and needy people to his level best though he himself
doesn't have much resources. Thuja 1M relieved him of his morning stiffness within few days. He also
got relief in his skin discoloration on his legs over a year. But his lipomas and warts remained though
there was no increase over 2 years. Thuja 1M was repeated after long intervals.

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 57 yo gentleman suffered from throat paralysis after developing a clot in his head. He is always very
warm to his relations belonging to the upper class. He is too hard for those who are poor and
educationally deprived. He was an alcoholic until paralytic attack and his father also died of alcoholism.
All his brothers are alcoholic. He loves socialising and people having treat at his home. Swallowing water
is very difficult for him. He can swallow solid easily. He has lost his voice totally. He gets pain in his back
due to part time office work. He also feels normal otherwise but overall he has become weak. He has
been given Lachesis and the results are awaited. There is a possibility that this person will contact a
reputed homeopath instead of listening to me. Still the case taking and remedy selection has been
shared with you. Please share your experience on management of paralysis cases.

A 25 yo unmarried gentleman came to me. He said that he had epileptic attacks in childhood. He is on
the homeopathic treatment. He didn't have any epileptic attack after starting homeopathic treatment.
He told further that he belongs to another city and won't be able to contact his homeopath. He feels
that he is about to have an epileptic attack. He was given three doses of Hyoscyamus 200 followed by
Kali Phos 6x. He did well for the whole stay in the city. He visited me while going back to know the name
of remedies.

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. Some other details about her. She dresses at her best. Sometimes she
complains about her relations. There is a mark of pride in her bahavior. At times when she complains
she says that her leucorrhoea gets worse while passing urine. She doesn't like cold surroundings but
prefers open air. She is an obese lady.

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 prefered 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 person came to me in the month of summer when the maximum temperature used to be 46 deg cel.
He said that he has stitching sensation like needles due to summer heat. He also suffered from itching.
Needless to say that he desired cold air to beat the scorching heat. Apis 30 provided him an excellent
relief.

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.

A gentleman 43 yo came to a senior homeopath for painful corn on his palm since one year. The senior
homeopath asked me to give a single dose of Antimonium Crud 200. To my surprise the corn
disappeared within 3-4 days. This case proved conclusively to me the power of specifics. i am a great
admirer of prescriptions based on totality still specifics have their own space.

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 19 yo girl came to the ngo clinic. The girl seems to be from an affluent family. She skillfully avoided
disclosing the source who recommended her. She was speaking very mildly. She said that she has been
just operated for her rectum fistula. She gets headache and vomitting after she returns from her college.
She told that she can't bear any contradiction and gets very angry if she faces any. She is also irritated at
home for trivial matters. She doesn't have any contention of mind. She is little bit obese.
She did well on Nux Vomica for her vomitting and headache. She also responded later to calc and then
lyc when there was a relapse. She got some warts on her hands. She was given Thuja. Warts decreased
in number but started itching. She was given Sulphur. Itching subsided but warts remained. She was
given Nitric Acid with which all her warts dropped. When she came for the warts episode she reported
that her headache and vomitting has been cured.

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.

on a cold surface. He is bit sluggish in his movements and lacks agility.

You will agree that the analysis throws many chilly remedies for consideration even though you may not
agree with the metaphoric use of rubrics.
Single dose of Calc Carb 200 provided good relief.

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 enthsiastic 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
occurences 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.

panic attacks he just wants to run away from the society. He also suffers from flatulence. Even if he just

sac lac provided excellent relief for all his complaints.

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 45 yo lady came to me with complaint of abdominal pain with vomitting. She was observing a day's
fast. She said that she feels better for her abdominal pain if she applies hard pressure thereon. She
works as a cook but finds it difficult to work due to these developments. She was asked to take
Colocynth 30 and Nux Vomica 200 bd until relief. She reported on her next visit that she got good and

A 42 yo lady came to me with a diagnostic report in her hand. The report said "Cervix is showing small
multiple nabothian cysts s/o chronic cervicitis". She got this report from her gynecologist. She is a widow
since 10 years. She gets profuse leucorrhoea after menses which is almost constant though less
afterwards. She is much worried about the nabothian cysts though she didn't have any symptoms due to
this. She has two kids to look after and her joint family is not very strong financially. The lady is not agile
in her movements.
She was given Calc Carb 200 bd for 3 days followed by sac lac. The lady reported relief in her
leucorrhoea and decreased menstrual flow during her periods.

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.

A 35 yo lady came to me with a complaint of back pain. She said that she suffers from neck and back
pain. The pain is always there. The pain is ameliorated by rubbing and massaging. She gets scanty
menses. The menstrual flow is only for 2-3 days. Her menses appear one week early. She gets

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. She
was charged with lack of fidelity by her hub. She didn't claim any compensation from her hub as her
children are with hub and not with her. She was given Lachesis 200 bd for 2 days followed by sac lac
which provided a good relief in her back and neck pain.

morning yoga in a park. Suddenly a small monkey jumped onto his hand. The scratches made by the
monkey looked angry red. There was severe itch which only lead to the aggravation of the condition. He
felt better applying cold water to his hand. Sulphur 30 repeated hourly provided complete relief over 4
hours. The gentleman has a Sulphur/Nux constitution and has been benefited by these two remedies
earlier for his various conditions.

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 too
He can't see others doing better than him.
He always remains in the state of animation
He gets pleased when other people say anything good (which may not be true) about him or his
family
He 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 business
He doesn't do things naturally many times, affectation is seen in many of his gestures.
He takes interest in philosophing about karma, spirituality etc
Whenever he gets jealous of others he pities himself for his own limitations of resources
Rub 1 - Mind; jesting

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.

A 32 yo lady came to me with a chief complaint of joint pain. She suffered from severe anxiety.
She also had phobia for crowds. She had profuse sweating at her palms. 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.

A 80 yo gentleman came to me with a complaint of toothpain. He has toothpain which


aggravates on chewing. The pain radiates like the one in neuralgia. He couldn't get any relief
after taking allopathic pain-killers. The gentleman is always pestered for money by his son.
Staphysagria 200 bd for 3 days gave him complete relief for his toothpain.

A 18 yo girl came to me with a chief complaint of difficult respiration. She also complained of
watery discharge from her nose. When asked about her behavior her brother informed that she is
very irritable. She can't stand anyone teasing her. i asked him who teases her. He said that a

small boy who is their tenant's child teases her. She bursts with anger and sometimes weeps at
that time. A single dose of Lycopodium 200 followed by sac lac provided excellent relief on all
counts.

This is the case of the same 77 yo gentleman whose constitutional analysis is given in the link.
Refer to Case 81
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. He is having thin discharge
from his ear.

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.

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

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. She reported good relief in rectal bleeding on Phosphorus 200 bd for 2 days
followed by sac lac. She even reported some relief for spondylitis for which she has been under
treatment for a long time.

A 23 yo boy came to me with various complaints at various points of time. He has been under
my treatment since 3 years. He was detected with having malignant spinal tumor five years ago.
The tumor was removed surgically. Chemo and radiation was also given. He used to get swelling
on his leg as the tumor was on his lower vertebrae. The swelling continued even after undergoing
all aforementioned procedures.
He was abandoned by his father at the age of 6 months when his mother succumbed to burn
injuries after accidental (?) fire. He is taken care by his maternal granny. He is a soft mannered
boy.

He did well for his swelling on calc carb. He responded well to phos and lyc for his loss of
appetite. He did well for his facial itching during winter on Ars Alb. Only one remedy was given
to him at a time in single dose. There was a gap of one and half + months between two doses.
Sac Lac was continued in between. All remedies were given in 200 potency. When once he
reported that all is well and there is no specific acute to report, he was given a single dose of
Carcinosin 200. He is doing annual tests for checking the recurrence of malignancy and all tests
are negative till date.

about his work and personal life he said that he is under lot of stress at his office. He gets
irritable due to the work load. His boss always assigns heavy work to him. He hardly gets any
leave. He also said that presently he is under a month's leave. When i asked him as to how he
could manage such a long leave he said that he applied for 15 days leave and then extended it on
medical grounds (fake). Few doses of Sepia 200 provided excellent relief to him.

eruptions on her face. She is a homely girl. Her family is looking for a suitable match for her.
She doesn't have any career plans and is happy to be a house wife. She sweats a lot and can't bear
heat. Earlier when she came for her complaint of piles she did well on calcarea carb. She was
given Natrum Mur 200 single dose for her eruptions and she reported good improvement. Of

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 40 yo lady came to me with a complaint of profuse menses. She passes huge clots in her
menses. She was accompanied by a divorced lady who was already benefited by the treatment at
the clinic. The lady was complaining about the behavior of hub. She said that as she has a 14 yo
daughter, her hub thinks that he can behave like anything as she can't leave him at this stage. She
further said that she can't bear the summer heat. She is having stiff and painful neck since
months. She has a problem of leucorrhea before her menses. The lady was given Calc Carb 200

in his delirium. He was asked to take Belladonna 200 bd for 3 days. He got complete relief from

A 18 yo girl came to me with a complaint of tongue and mouth ulcers. She also has a complaint
of gray hair at this early age. She maintains a very impressive appearance. She has some acne on
her face. She salivates during her sleep. She has headache when she returns from her evening
tuition class.
She got relief for her tongue sores on Sulphur 30. Later when she complained of constipation
(old complaint reported now) she did better on Nux Vomica 30. At some other time she did
better on Merc Sol 30 for her salivation during sleep. At still some other visit she complained of
her evening headache she was given Lycopodium 30 and it didn't benefit her. When she was
given Acid Phos 30 later she reported relief in her headache too. When she doesn't have any
acute complaint and comes for medicine for her gray hair she is given Acid Phos 30.

A 25 yo married gentleman was having constant cough. He finds himself in a very embarrassing
situation. He lied under pressure from his family and married a girl. He told her that he is an
engineer. In fact he is a college drop out. Now his wife has filed a court case against him and his
family. He can be arrested at any time now. He was given Ambra Grisea 200 bd for few days.
The remedy wonderfully cured him of his cough.

A 7 yo girl was brought to me by her parents with the chief complaint of lymphatic tissue
swelling. The swelling was seen on her neck and it was reported that the girl was having swelling
on her inner thigh too. The girl was making gestures while expressing herself. She also salivates
during her sleep. The girl is very sensitive to changes in weather and often develops respiratory
complaints. Merc Sol 200 bd for few days removed the swelling and also helped the child overall
to a great extent.

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. Now she
has located to another city where her married daughter lives. Last remedy given was Ignatia as
she became very sentimental while leaving the city where she lived 75 years.

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.

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!!

lot of grief and suppressed anger on her face. She was given Ignatia 200, Calc Carb 200, Natrum

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.

A 42 yo gentleman came to me with a complaint of chest pain. He asked me whether he should


get his ECG done. He is an obese person. He likes eggs too much. He generally gets tense. 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.

and he is making his own efforts to further his ideals. Merc Sol 200 drained the abscess and gave relief.

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.

A 26 yo gentleman came to me with a complaint of diarrhoea with severe abdominal pain. i
asked him to take Nux Vomica tds and report back on the following day. 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.

are lice on his pubic hair. She could see some on her legs too after intercourse. When i asked her about
her hub she said that he is a busy supervisor. She is very disturbed due to her non-responsiveness during
sexual activity. She was asked to give her hub Sulphur 200 bd for 3 days followed by sac lac for 20 days
which resolved the lice issue. The lady is still undergoing treatment for her frigidity.

A 25 yo boy came to me with complaint of psychological imbalance. He did well on lyc for his physical
problems like constipation and flatulence. i worked out his case through another angle. He doesn't want
to depend on his psychiatrist and wants freedom from sedative drug addiction. He applies keen intellect
in understanding his situation and for working out the solution. He came to me many times for
discussions and directions. His sleep is disturbed by thoughts. i gave him Belladonna 200 od for 5 days.

compared to the allopathic sedative.
