et al. 2023

Venous leg ulcers, also called varicose or stasis ulcers, are a result of damage to the valves in the veins of the legs, which increases venous pressure. Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a well-known factor that contributes to the emergence of venous leg ulcer. Blood reflux, obstruction, or a combination of both mechanisms may result in CVI and lead to macro- and microcirculatory dysfunction. The primary risk factors for venous ulcer development are older age, obesity, previous leg injuries, deep venous thrombosis and phlebitis.A 57-year-old patient, with a pre-diagnosed case of venous leg ulcer, presented to the outpatient department of National Institute of Homoeopathy, Kolkata, with complaints of swelling and multiple ulcers in both legs. The ulcers were shallow and irregular in shape and presented with itching and persistent sticky discharge. The leg ulcer completely healed within two and half months of duration with Graphites 30/4 doses, which were given as a constitutional homoeopathic medicine. The outcome assessment of this case was done by using the Modified Naranjo Criteria (MONARCH) inventory. This case study suggests homoeopathic treatment as a promising complementary or alternative therapy, emphasising the significance of repertorisation in constitutional homoeopathic prescription for the management of ulcers.

Introduction A 32-year-old patient with colon cancer consulted for homeopathic supportive care (HSC). She had also suffered from recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTIs) for 20 years. Could homeopathy treat these two very different issues with the same medicine? The Patient's Main Concerns Though the main reason for the consultation was a fear of the side effects of chemotherapy, the presence of Escherichia coli-induced RUTIs affected the patient's quality of life. Interventions and Outcomes The repertory listing highlighted Pulsatilla as the patient's homeopathic constitutional medicine. It was prescribed both for HSC and also for RUTI. In association with Arsenicum album and Nerves, Pulsatilla enabled a good tolerance to chemotherapy, with rapid recovery from peripheral neuropathies. In combination with Colibacillinum, Pulsatilla provided relapse-free curing of the RUTIs. The MOdified NARanjo Criteria for Homeopathy (MONARCH) Inventory score was +9. Conclusion The one individual's two different clinical complaints were treated with a constitutional homeopathic medicine, Pulsatilla, which covered the whole case. However, in HSC, the use of the constitutional remedy alone is rarely sufficient: it was reinforced by individualised symptomatic medication, organotherapy and isotherapy. For RUTI, isopathic and tubercular miasmatic treatments were each helpful. For both complaints, individualised homeopathy gave rapid, long-lasting and effective results.

“…It helps to identify and validate prescription criteria. 6 Reporting a study with a small number of patients may turn out to be very useful during an epidemic. 7 The Genus Epidemicus in Homoeopathy proposed for secondary level prevention is also selected after repertorisation of cases reported in a specific universe.…”
