Item LM potency of Calcarea carbonica for individualised homoeopathic treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome: A case report(Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, 2025) Khatoon, Rayba; Kamila, Sumanta; Sarkar, Sanjay; Bappa, Javed AquatarIntroduction: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) stands as a prevalent and diverse endocrine disorder affecting women in their reproductive years. It manifests through various clinical symptoms such as oligo-anovulation, polycystic ovaries, and symptoms due to elevated serum androgen levels. Amidst the frequent side effects and limited long-term effi cacy of conventional treatments, there is a growing interest in complementary therapies that can alleviate PCOS symptoms without adverse impacts. Homoeopathy, known for its individualised approach and success in treating various conditions, including PCOS, emerges as a hopeful solution. This case report aims to showcase the favourable results attained through individualised homoeopathic treatment not only in the PCOS symptoms but also the overall complaints of the patient. Case summary: A 25-year-old female visited the outpatient department of The Calcutta Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, West Bengal, India, with complaints of irregular and scanty menstrual cycles for the past two years. She was diagnosed with PCOS based on both clinical symptoms and ultrasonographic findings. An individualised homoeopathic remedy, Calcarea carbonica, was prescribed in fifty millesimal (LM) potency, taking into consideration the symptoms of both particular and general spheres. Follow-ups revealed gradual improvement. The remarkable clinical progress, along with a score of +10 on the Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy (MONARCH) tool, highlights the usefulness of individualised homoeopathic medicine in improving the symptoms of PCOS.Item Retrocerebellar arachnoid cyst treated by individualised homoeopathic medicine Calcarea phosphorica(Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, 2025) Soni, Abhishek; Ali, Syed Afsar; Singha, AiswaryaIntroduction: Arachnoid cysts are non-malignant malformations mainly relating to the arachnoid mater.

Common presenting complaints include headache, visual disturbances, gait disturbances, and seizures. Case Summary: This is a case of a 4-year-old male child with a retrocerebellar arachnoid cyst treated in the outpatient department of the National Institute of Homoeopathy, Kolkata, India. The presenting complaints included trembling of the whole body since one year, which was completely resolved within 18 months of individualised homoeopathic treatment. The case was thoroughly analysed and treated with individualised homoeopathic medicine Calcarea phosphorica in LM potency as the main medicine, and Tuberculinum 10M as an anti-miasmatic medicine. Regular follow-ups were taken and the patient improved significantly both symptomatically as well as clinically, assessed by MRI. This case shows the true potential of individualised homoeopathic medicines in treating such rare cases.
