THE SECRET WITHIN THE MIRROR – A DESCRIPTIVE PERSONALITY TRAIT OF THUJA
Thuja occidentalis is a well-known constitutional homeopathic remedy with a distinctive mental and emotional profile described in classical literature. Individuals requiring Thuja are typically characterized by introversion, heightened sensitivity and a tendency toward secrecy and guilt. Clinically, such individuals may exhibit rigid self-control, fixed ideas, anxiety related to self-image and fear of judgment. A notable feature is the disparity between outward composure and inner emotional distress. Understanding these characteristic personality traits is essential for accurate individualization and remedy selection in Homeopathic practice. This descriptive article explores the characteristic personality traits attributed to Thuja, drawing from classical materia medica and clinical observations. The aim is to present a coherent understanding of the inner emotional landscape, behavioural tendencies and constitutional makeup associated with Thuja to aid homoeopathic practitioners in individualized remedy selection.

This case report aims to evaluate the efficacy of individualized homoeopathic therapy in managing LPP by addressing underlying emotional triggers alongside physical symptoms. A 38-year-old male presenting with extensive hyperpigmented patches on his upper trunk for over a year was studied. The patient’s history revealed significant internal worry and emotional repression related to his son’s health. Methodology involved a holistic assessment and repertorization using Phatak’s Repertory, leading to the selection of Phosphorus as the constitutional remedy, supported by Kali Arsenicum and biochemical tissue salts. Over a 12-month follow-up, results showed over 80% lightening of pigmentation, improved sleep, and restored mental vitality. No new lesions appeared, and the patient achieved emotional stability. The study concludes that addressing the psychosomatic root through individualized homoeopathy provides a safe and effective modality for long-term relief in chronic skin disorders where conventional treatments may only offer symptomatic results.
IMPORTANCE OF DREAMS IN HOMEOPATHIC CASE TAKING AND PRESCRIBING
Dreams represent a complex reflection of images, emotions, ideas, and sensations occurring within the mind during various sleep stages. In the scientific study of dreams, known as oneirology, these phenomena are recognized as reflections of the unconscious mind, often revealing hidden desires and innermost turmoil. The objective of this article is to highlight the utility of dreams in understanding a patient’s psyche and their critical role in individualized homeopathic case-taking. Homeopathy operates on a holistic approach, prioritizing the patient as a whole rather than focusing solely on chief complaints. Because dreams bypass conscious mental compensation, they serve as a vital source of unexpressed emotional information. Analysis of dream content, which is often associated with the REM phase of sleep, allows practitioners to identify characteristic mental symptoms that are essential for remedy selection. Results indicate that dreams provide deep insights into a patient’s psychological state, facilitating the selection of a more similar and individualized homeopathic remedy. Ultimately, while further research is required to standardize dream interpretation, dreams remain a significant asset in uncovering the unique individuality of a patient to support holistic treatment.
A CASE REPORT ON HOMEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT OF DIFFUSE PSYCHOGENIC ALOPECIA WITH TRICHOTILLOMANIA TENDENCY
Psychogenic alopecia is a complex hair loss condition driven by psychosomatic factors such as emotional trauma, chronic anxiety, and compulsive behaviors like hair pulling. The objective of this case study was to evaluate the efficacy of individualized homeopathic treatment in managing diffuse patchy hair loss and trichotillomania in a 26-year-old female. The patient presented with a five-year history of thinning hair and scalp fixation, which intensified during periods of emotional stress and silent grief. Material and methods involved a detailed constitutional analysis of the patient’s mental and physical generals, including her reserved disposition and sensitivity to criticism. Based on the totality of symptoms and repertorization, Natrum muriaticum 200C was selected as the primary remedy. Results showed a significant reduction in compulsive hair-pulling behavior, clearance of dandruff, and visible hair regrowth over a five-month period. The patient also achieved emotional stabilization and improved coping mechanisms. In conclusion, this case demonstrates that homeopathy can effectively address both the psychogenic etiology and physical manifestations of alopecia through holistic, individualized prescribing.
A CASE REPORT: HOMOEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT OF PITYRIASIS WITH ASSOCIATED ACNE IN A 15-YEAR-OLD STUDENT

This case report explores the homeopathic management of a 15-year-old student presenting with hyperpigmented, mildly scaly plaques on the neck and upper back, alongside pustular acne. The objective was to demonstrate the efficacy of individualized homeopathic treatment for superficial dermatosis aggravated by adolescent stress. Utilizing a holistic material and methods approach, a detailed constitutional case-taking was performed, revealing a reserved, introverted personality, a craving for sweets, and a hot thermal temperament. Based on the totality of symptoms and a Psora-Sycosis miasmatic analysis, a single dose of Lycopodium clavatum 200C was administered. Results showed a significant transformation: the hyperpigmented plaques almost completely disappeared, itching was eliminated, and pustular acne resolved within weeks. Furthermore, the patient exhibited improved confidence and a calmer mental state. In conclusion, this case highlights that an individualized prescription based on mental and physical generals can successfully resolve complex skin pathologies and improve overall well-being without the need for topical intervention.
HOMEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT OF INFECTED BLEEDING HEMORRHOIDS: A CASE REPORT
Haemorrhoids are swollen veins located inside or around the anus that frequently present with symptoms such as bleeding, pain, burning, swelling, or discharge. In HIV-positive individuals, wound healing is often compromised, leading to hemorrhoids that become frequently infected or recurrent even after surgical intervention. This case report explores the homeopathic management of a 27-year-old HIV-positive male suffering from recurrent, infected internal and external hemorrhoids. The objective was to evaluate the efficacy of individualized homeopathy in an immunocompromised patient who remained symptomatic despite prior anal surgery and antibiotic treatment. The patient presented with bleeding, burning, swelling, and a highly offensive, yellow pustular discharge. Materials and methods involved a detailed clinical intake and repertorization, identifying a syco-syphilitic miasmatic background. Treatment was initiated with Nitric Acid 30C, later increased to 200C, to address the non-healing, painful, and offensive nature of the lesions. Results showed a progressive 85–90% reduction in hemorrhoidal size, complete resolution of the purulent discharge, and cessation of bleeding over four months. The patient resumed his normal daily routine without pain. It is concluded that individualized homeopathic prescribing provides a gentle and effective approach for managing chronic, non-healing hemorrhoids in patients with lowered vitality.
INTEGRATIVE MANAGEMENT OF LIFE-THREATENING NUT ALLERGY AND RECURRENT ANGIOEDEMA: A PEDIATRIC HOMEOPATHIC CASE REPORT
Angioedema is characterized by sudden, localized swelling of the deeper layers of the skin or mucosa, often triggered by IgE-mediated hypersensitivity to allergens like nuts. When involving the airway or occurring alongside anaphylaxis, it becomes a life-threatening medical emergency. This case presents a 4-year-old boy suffering from severe angioedema, multiple nut allergies, and recurrent urticaria since infancy. The objective was to evaluate the efficacy of a combined approach using individualized homeopathic constitutional treatment and medically supervised oral immunotherapy. The child, who had a history of severe anaphylaxis requiring adrenaline, was treated with Calcarea carbonica and Tuberculinum bovinum based on his miasmatic and constitutional totality. Results after two years of treatment demonstrated a remarkable shift in the allergic threshold; the patient developed stable tolerance to previously life-threatening allergens, with no further angioedema or anaphylactic episodes over the last 24 months. Furthermore, significant improvements were noted in his respiratory health and emotional stability. In conclusion, integrated homeopathic management effectively modulates the immune response, offering a holistic recovery for pediatric patients with severe allergic diathesis.
HOMOEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT OF IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME: A NARRATIVE REVIEW
Background Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional bowel disorder characterized by abdominal pain associated with altered bowel habits, diagnosed in the absence of structural pathology. Owing to its multifactorial pathophysiology involving gut–brain interaction, psychosocial stressors, and visceral hypersensitivity, IBS remains therapeutically challenging and significantly impairs quality of life. Objective To critically review the scope and applicability of individualized homoeopathic management in IBS, with emphasis on clinical differentiation, repertorial approach, and remedy selection according to IBS subtypes. Methods A narrative review of peer-reviewed biomedical journals, gastroenterology consensus guidelines, homoeopathic materia medica, repertories, and classical texts was undertaken. Emphasis was placed on diagnostic criteria, symptom patterns, and clinical application rather than general description. Results Evidence indicates IBS to be a heterogeneous disorder requiring individualized treatment. Homoeopathy, through constitutional prescribing and symptom totality, offers a patient-centered therapeutic model. Specific remedies demonstrate utility when selected according to bowel pattern, mental concomitants, and modalities. Conclusion Homoeopathic management of IBS extends beyond symptomatic relief and requires structured diagnosis, repertorial analysis, and remedy differentiation. When applied systematically, it has potential to address both gastrointestinal and psychosomatic dimensions of IBS.
LET’S STUDY POSOLOGY THROUGH CLINICAL ERRORS: A CASE-SERIES ANALYSIS ON POTENCY, DOSE, AND REPETITION.
Background: Posology—comprising potency, dose, and repetition—is a decisive factor in homoeopathic prescribing. While remedy selection is widely discussed in literature and seminars, inappropriate posology continues to cause failures and aggravations. Aim: To analyse three clinical cases in which prescribing errors related to potency, repetition, or dose highlighted fundamental principles of posology. Method: A retrospective case-series analysis of three patients who experienced disturbance in progress due to a posological error. Each case was evaluated for clinical presentation, remedy selection, potency choice, follow-up outcomes, and the theoretical framework guiding interpretation. Results: Case 1: Unnecessary repetition of a well-selected remedy (Staphysagria 1M) disturbed a favourable reaction. Case 2: A correct remedy (Pulsatilla) failed in 30C potency but acted curatively in LM potency when susceptibility was reassessed. Case 3: A strong dry dose (Stramonium 1M) caused aggravation in a sensitive patient; diluted aqueous dosing produced rapid recovery. Conclusion: Remedy selection alone is insufficient without precise attention to potency, dose, and repetition. These cases affirm classical principles of susceptibility, minimum dose, and judicious repetition, highlighting the need for stronger academic emphasis on posology.
