Role of Homeopathy in Clinical Practice

1
Role of Homeopathy in Clinical Practice

• Dr D P Rastogi
• DMS., MBS,.MD Hom, DF Hom

2
Materia Medica and Repertory-

• Are like two sides of the coin.
• It is a fact that teaching and use of repertory
  was long neglected in Indian homeopathic
  colleges.
• As a result complete reliance was placed on
  learning of the Materia Medica for making the
  prescription

3
Historical---- contd

• However the scenario changed particularly after
  the CCH laid down the syllabus of repertory.
• The first homeopathic repertory in India was made
  by Father Muller in 1885. Alphabetical
• Late Dr LD Dhawale was in correspondence with Dr
  CM Boger and appreciated the Boger-
  Boenninghausen approach.

4
Historical ---contd

• Dr Bhanu Desai popularised Boenninghausens
  repertory through his book How to find the
  simillimum with Boger- Boenninghausens
  repertory.
• Dr.Bogers repertory portion included in the
  Synoptic key formed the base for Dr Phataks
  Alphabetical repertory.
• Late Dr Sankaran used repertory a lot and made
  popular the subject through his lectures.

5
Historical---contd

• One of the original person who made tremendous
  contribution to the subject has been legendary Dr
  Jugal Kishore.
• Finding printing errors and making corrections in
  Kents repertory has been Dr R P Patel who has
  made rich contribution and published an authentic
  Kents repertory.
• Credit for giving a popular text book to the
  students in the subject has been Dr SK Tewari.

6
Need of the repertory

• Was felt by Hahnemann him self.
• And he used Boenninghausens Repertory of the
  Antipsoric in his practice besides his own
  repertories.
• In 1927- 1600 remedies listed in materia medica .
• In 1955- 2000 remedies are listed out of which
  1500 are proved.
• In 2005 the number has become more than 4200.
• Thus to meet the challenge of the exploding
  materia medica, the homoeopathic repertory is
  born.

7
NEED OF REPERTORY---cont

• The repertory analysis clears our vision and
  points us to the remedy that will cure the
  patient.
• However it should be emphasized that Repertory
  suggests Materia Medica decides.
• Repertory is not intended to replace a diligent
  study of Materia Medica .

8
Use and utility

• Utility of repertory is realized because it
  points out the similar remedies for a given case.
• However utility of a particular repertory always
  depends on our familiarity with the rubrics.
• Nowadays repertory soft wares have made our task
  of finding the rubrics very easy

9
Various approaches

• There are 3 standard approaches to the repertory
  usage namely The Kentian, Boenninghausen and the
  Boger .
• Repertorium Universalis is now available which
  makes it applicable to any of the above
  approaches.
• However repertory can be used to look up even one
  main symptom of the patient.

10

• Examples
• A patient presented the picture of depression. On
  asking the cause she narrated that she had given
  some money to one of her close relative . But the
  person refused it to return.

11

• On the other hand he denied point blank that she
  ever gave that money.
• It is more the deception which is worrying her
  she said.
• I looked up the rubric Grief deception from and
  was able to visualize the leading remedies out of
  which I selected Ignatia which completely
  relieved.

12

• The remedies given in Complete Repertory under
  the rubric- Grief from deception are
• AUR, IGN, LYC and NAT-M
• Nux-v
• lach, merc, op, ph-ac, puls, sep , verat

13
A case of Blepharospasm

• A patient presented blepharospasm of both eyes
  which could not be helped with the best of
  allopathic treatment. The patient also had
  photophobia.The case was repertorized in Knerrs
  repertory where Euphrasia was suggested as the
  only remedy under Lids- spasms with photophobia.
  The case was cured with Euphrasia.

Case of genital warts

• A lady accompanied one of my patient and
  presented problem of genital warts.
• There was no other symptom except itching.
• Her family physician has ruled out Hiv infection
  by elisa test.
• I could not discover any particular desire or
  aversion for food nor could I find anything
  characteristic in the mind to provide any
  guidance for prescription.

16

• I looked up Knerrs repertory and found the
  solitary remedy Sabina mentioned under Genital
  warts- itching. I prescribed Sabina 0/1 to be
  taken 4 times a day for 15 days.
• After 15 days the report came that most of the
  warts have fallen.

18
Cina

• Treating cough in children is often
  problematic as it is both annoying to the patient
  as well as to the parents.
• I have often found concomitants given in the
  chapter of Boger-Boenninghausen repertory very
  helpful in picking up the remedy.
• For Cina the repeatedly verified concomitant has
  been cough with disagreeable behavior.

Conium

• A very senior executive was recommended to see me
  for his foot drop following some injury to the
  back
• A quick repertorization on the following rubrics
  was done
• Lower Extremities foot
• Lower Extremities drags the feet
• Back Lumbar region

21

• Feet ,cant place them on ground
• On the basis of the above rubrics using BBCR
  Conium appeared to be the remedy, covering all
  rubrics which was given in 0/1 every 2 hours. On
  the third day improvement was reported and more
  medicine was asked for. At the end of 7 days it
  was noticed that there was no more dragging of
  the foot.

22
More Examples

• I had a patient whose main complaint was vertigo,
  it was worse lying on right side
• I looked up the vertigo chapter and found the
  following entry

Thuja

• Thuja came out very prominently.
• It was given in 0/1 4 times daily for a month.
• Improvement was reported in both back pain and
  vitiligo spots around the mouth
• The same medicine is being continued with
  progressive improvement.

42

• Repertorisation has been recognized as one of the
  important strategies to find the most similar
  remedies for a given case .
• Computer repertory soft wares have given the
  option of using several repertories for a given
  case.
• However, Boger-Boenninghausen repertory BBCR
  has been found reliable for working out cases
  of varied pathology and has been an effective
  homeopathic tool which has stood test of time.

43

• In the Boger Boenninghausen Characteristics and
  repertory BBCR Boger brought together all of
  Boenninghausens different repertories as well as
  a large number of additions from the Aphorisms of
  Hippocrates.
• He also added several remedies not proved in
  Boenninghausen time.
• In this repertory Boger goes a long way towards
  correcting the major criticism of Boenninghausen
  plan by giving modalities in particular
  separately from modalities in general, although
  the general rubrics remain the same.

44

• This introduces some of the precision of the
  Kents repertory without losing the essential
  flexibility of the Boenninghausen plan.
• In fact it is a bridge between very flexible
  Boenninghausen and very rigid Kent.
• He made a serious attempt to unite analysis and
  synthesis in each rubric, expressed usually in
  only one or two words.
• In this way, the avoidable clumsiness inherent in
  repertory use is streamlined to great degree.

45

• One should have all major repertory soft wares on
  computer and have an open mind for their use and
  use them all as per need.
• However BBCR has proved more useful in all type
  of cases in my experience and this is the most
  often used by me.
• I describe some more cases from my practice to
  demonstrate the role of repertory in clinical
  practice.

46
A case of Ankylosing Spondylitis

• Mr. AP aged 20yrs, a medical student approached
  for homeopathic treatment after exhausting all
  options of conventional medicine.

Selection of the remedy

• There were 3 remedies strongly contesting namely
  Nux vom, Sulphur and Ars album.
• As patient was chilly Sulphur was not considered.
  Desire for company went against Nux vom which has
  lt from company. Anxiety and desire for company
  went in favor of Ars alb 5marks
• Ars alb LM 1 was given 4 times a day and was
  raised serially to LM 4 over a period of six
  months.
• The case was completely cured and continued his
  studies with a promise to take up homeopathy.

54
A case of Rheumatoid arthritis

• It was given in LM 1 and resulted in increasing
  relief.
• The case was finally closed with Sulphur LM1

Remedy selection

• Phos acid covered most of the rubrics including
  modalities and the mental symptom
  procrastination.

  medication and therefore simultaneous use of
  homeopathic medication continued.
• The patient continues well and had no pains and
  has no difficulty in ascending stairs.
• His ESR westergren has come down to 10mm/1st
  hour from 80mm/1st hour during 5 months of
  treatment.

67
Eizayagas repertory

• Some repertories more particularly clinical and
  Alphabetical are very useful in clinical
  practice.
• In this category mention may be made of O E
  Boericke, Murphy and Eizayagas repertories.
• I would like to give a glimpse of Eizayagas
  repertory.
