Abstract

Insomnia is a common and distressing symptom in such conditions, often exacerbating pain, psychological distress, and fatigue. Conventional sedatives provide temporary relief but are limited by tolerance, dependence, and adverse effects. Homoeopathy, based on the principle of individualization, offers a holistic approach to insomnia management by selecting remedies through characteristic symptoms, causation, and rubrics from repertories. A single remedy prescription, guided by the most characteristic rubric expressions of the patient, can address not only insomnia but also the associated mental and physical state. This individualized approach holds potential in palliative care by reducing suffering, enhancing sleep quality, and improving overall well-being without adding iatrogenic burden. The significance of causation in remedy selection is emphasized, as identifying the exciting factor behind insomnia supports precise individualization. This article explores the role of homoeopathy in the palliative management of insomnia, through single remedy rubrics prescriptions, highlighting its relevance as an integrative tool in palliative care. The study highlights the utility of single-remedy, rubric-based prescriptions in addressing both sleep disturbance and associated constitutional imbalance.
