Abstract

To Prove the efficacy of homoeopathic medicines in the treatment of psoriasis

Procedure:

•  Acquiring the detailed case history of the patient according to the homoeopathic system of case taking.
• Assessing the Type, extent, severity and distribution of psoriasis. Noting Age, sex, occupation, Comorbidities, medications, adverse reactions.
• Taking the photographs of the psoriasis lesions of each patient before starting the treatment and also during every follow up visit.
• Record keeping patients follow up visits, history, complaints, photographs, tests and medication of each visit.
• Advising required tests for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
• Giving homoeopathic medicines based on homoeopathic principles
• Counselling about diet, regimen and mental heath.Treatment is discontinued only if the Patient does not develop any signs and symptoms for 6 months during the treatment course. Such a patient is considered stable in who optimum recovery is attained. These patients are only advised to follow proper diet and regimen in their day-to-day life.

Observation:

So, after many years of treating more than 24000 psoriasis patients with homoeopathy I have observed that

1) Homoeopathy offers a safe, and effective treatment for psoriasis. 2) Many patients are cured and did have not have any relapse for 10+ years. These patients are observed under placebos for one and half year and when psoriasis does not relapse the treatment is discontinued. This is one of the accomplishments.
3) Psoriasis one alleviated it returned next time in less intensity and on lesser parts
4) In some patient’s psoriasis was cured up to 90% and the remaining 10% persisted but the condition did not escalate
5) In most patients almost 50% - 60% who are under my treatment for 6+ years showed control of present condition and hence opt to continue the treatment since there are no side effects of homoeopathic medicines
6)Homoeopathic medicines work even in severe stages of psoriasis. After giving homeopathic medicine at whatever severe stage psoriasis is in, homeopathic medicines definitely help to alleviate that stage and patient recovers completely.
7) Some patients who withdraw the treatment after 40-50% recovery and restart the treatment again after few years still show no intensification of symptoms, and psoriasis is very much in control.
8) Patients who have recently started new treatment initially show aggravation and gradually get relieved. This is mainly due to overuse of conventional medicines for a long period leading to suppression.
9) Patients who are recovered are advised to consult after 6months or a year to check if no new lesions have emerged.
10) Patients who do not find any relief with the medications, or the condition has exacerbated are advised for a in depth case taking and medicines are changed accordingly.
