Item Management of overt hypothyroidism with homoeopathic medicine Iodium - An evidence-based case report(2023) Wadhwa, BhartiSingh, AnamikaIntroduction: Hypothyroidism is a hypo-metabolic state resulting from inadequate secretion of thyroid hormones. It is the second most common endocrine disorder among women and a leading cause of menstrual abnormalities in all age groups, thereby affecting reproductive functions in females. Levothyroxine is the standard lifelong mode of treatment in conventional medicine. Case Summary: A 35-year-old hypothyroid female presented with menstrual irregularities. However, the physical general symptoms in this patient were contrary to the expected clinical presentation of the disease. Individualised homoeopathic medicine was selected for this patient, based on these peculiar symptoms and complete recovery was seen with the restoration of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels within normal range within 7 months. TSH levels were investigated and recorded before and after treatment. The Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homoeopathy was used to assess the causal attribution of clinical outcome after the homoeopathic intervention. The patient was observed for further 3 months and showed no recurrence of complaints. Complete resolution in this case of hypothyroidism is yet another affirmation that homoeopathic intervention can be used in the treatment of endocrine disorders in which usually lifelong treatment is the only option.Item Infantile hemangioma cured with homoeopathy - A case report(2022) Wadhwa, BhartiSingh, AnamikaIntroduction: Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common benign vascular neoplasm in infants. It is characterized by endothelial cell proliferation which usually develops shortly after birth and grows most rapidly over the first 6months. It is self-limiting in nature. However, in a small percentage of patients, hemangioma does not disappear completely. It may result in serious ocular or systemic complications. These patients may require drug therapy, surgical intervention, and/or laser therapy often during childhood at the cost of certain adverse events. Case Summary: The case reported here is of IH affecting the right eye in a 5-month-old female child who was cured completely with the help of homoeopathic medicine within 4 months. Arnica montana was prescribed as a specific remedy based on its physiological action. Follow-up was done every 2 weeks for 4 months. Vancouver scar scale (VSS) score and photographs were considered every month to assess the involution of hemangioma. For confirming complete recovery and no recurrence, follow-up for another 3 months was done after involution. VSS score reduced from 9 to 0 in 4 months duration. Complete cure in this case of hemangioma with homoeopathy can be considered as a reference to explore the utility of alternative modes of treatment like Homoeopathy to give a better therapeutic option for such conditions and avoid any kind of surgical intervention.
