    Holistic approach of Homoeopathy in treatment of multimorbidity
    (CCRH, 2026) Verma, Divya; Saklani, Nitin Kumar; Arun Kumar
    Introduction: Multimorbidity, a rise in all ages, is a challenge for health care systems that are focused on single-disease management. Homoeopathy has shown competence in the management of chronic diseases, whether they occur as a single ailment or as multimorbidities. Case Summary: A 25-year-old female suffering from symptoms of PCOS, like irregular menses, secondary dysmenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea, along with chronic migraine visited the OPD. She also developed renal calculi during the previous homoeopathic treatment. Her condition improved through homoeopathic medicines Pulsatilla and Lycopodium. The case is reported according to HOM-CASE guidelines. The assessment of causal attribution of homoeopathic treatment was carried out using the Modified Naranjo Criteria, and VAS was used as the pain assessment for difficulty arising from menses, headache and renal calculi. MIDAS was used to determine disability due to migraine. The patient eventually reported regularity of menstrual cycles, reduction in pain during menses, and resolution of ovarian cysts. Migraine and renal calculi were also reported to be relieved as per the MIDAS score and ultrasound report, respectively. This case report suggests an encouraging role of constitutional treatment through individualised homoeopathic medicines in treating multimorbidity. However, more case studies and well-designed controlled research are warranted to further investigate the effect of homoeopathic intervention in multimorbidity.

    A case report on multiple renal calculi and bilateral ovarian cysts treated with homoeopathic medicine Ignatia amara
    (Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, 2025) Sharma, Pragya
    Introduction: Renal calculi are the most frequent urological illness. It can be caused by genetic, nutritional, or environmental factors. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled structures which can be simple or complex. It can affect females of any age, whether during puberty or menopause. These disorders remain a medical challenge due to their complex aetiology and high incidence. Sometimes the symptoms grow so severe for the patient that treatment and time lost from work involve substantial costs, compromising their social, physical, psychological, and financial well-being. Case summary: This is a case report of a 38-year-old female having sharp cutting pain in lumbar region for six months. The complaints were accompanied by profuse black menstrual bleeding, associated with lower abdominal pain before and during menses. This article explains a case of multiple renal calculi and bilateral ovarian cysts cured with well-selected homoeopathic remedy Ignatia amara, after detailed case taking and repertorisation, which improved the physical as well as mental well-being of the patient. Using the Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy (MONARCH), the causal attribution of homoeopathic treatment to the outcome was evaluated. This case report shows the usefulness of the homoeopathic medicine Ignatia amara on the basis of individualisation in cases of multiple renal calculi and bilateral ovarian cysts.

    Urinary bladder and bilateral renal calculi expelled through the homoeopathic medicine Nux vomica
    (Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, 2025) Udmale, Prajakta M; Khobragade, Vaishali R
    Introduction: Urolithiasis is one of the most common urological problems that one comes across in a general outpatient clinic. The usefulness of homoeopathic medicines in the expulsion of urinary calculus is well-reported. However, this case is unique due to an advanced case of urolithiasis, where complications had begun to appear, as also the expulsion of all calculi using the homoeopathic medicines. Case Summary: A 34-year-old male patient was diagnosed with a large, mobile urinary bladder calculus and small bilateral renal calculi, with hydronephrosis, hydroureter, and mild oedema at ureterovesical (U-V) junction. He presented with recurrent episodes of mild to moderate dull aching pain, as well as sudden onset of severe, sharp pain on both sides of the flank and in the back. He also experienced the urge to urinate frequently. Based on the characteristic symptoms, repertorial analysis, and individualisation, Nux vomica 30C and 200C were prescribed. The treatment proved effective in facilitating the expulsion of all calculi and reducing oedema at the U-V junction. The Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy, a tool for causal attribution, was used to assess the relationship between the homoeopathic treatment and the outcome. The MONARCH score for this case was +8. This case demonstrates that a single medicine prescribed based on symptom totality was successful in the expulsion of large urinary bladder calculi which may not pass spontaneously and usually require surgical intervention. The bilateral renal calculi were expelled, and pathological changes in the urinary system were also resolved. The patient showed significant improvement in mental and physical symptoms as well.
