Embracing the Change: Homeopathy’s Role in Post Menopausal Wellness
Post-menopause is a critical phase in a woman’s life characterized by the cessation of menstruation and a wide range of physiological and psychological changes. Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, mood fluctuations, sleep disturbances, and decreased bone density. While conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) remains a standard treatment, it carries potential risks and contraindications for some women. Homeopathy, a holistic system of medicine, offers an individualized approach that may provide symptomatic relief with minimal side effects. This article reviews the role of homeopathy in managing postmenopausal symptoms, highlights key remedies such as Lachesis, Sepia, Sulphur, and Calcarea carbonica. The potential of homeopathy as a complementary or alternative option is explored, emphasizing the importance of individualized remedy selection and patient-centred care. Further research is encouraged to validate the efficacy and safety of homeopathic interventions in postmenopausal health.
Efficacy and Scope of Biochemic Remedies in Homoeopathy
Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler introduced the Biochemic system of medicine or tissue remedies which are homoeopathically prepared from mineral salts. Biochemic medicines have an effect at the physiological level. The World Health Organization defines this biochemical medicine method as inorganic cellular salt therapy. It is one of the complementary therapies introduced as a tissue salt remedy. These nutrients help regulate cellular functions and support health by regulating cellular salt levels. These tissue remedies are made by adding a minimal amount of tissue salt. The biochemical tissue remedies are inorganic tissue salts. There are a total of twelve biochemic tissue remedies which have their own individual properties.
Accurate observation is the cornerstone of homoeopathic practice. In homoeopathy the selection of remedy mainly depends upon the observation. For fine prescription there is the need of trained unprejudiced observer who select the remedy on the basis of keen observation. Samuel Hahnemann emphasized that a physician must train the senses to perceive, record, and interpret even the most delicate signs of disease and medicinal action. Dr. Stuart Close further refined this by outlining how bedside observations—mental, physical, and environmental—become essential for individualizing a case. This article explores the philosophy of observation, its clinical application, and its representation in standard repertories such as Kent and Murphy. The aim is to highlight how observation bridges the patient’s unique expression of illness with the choice of the similimum
Academic Anxiety: A Homeopathic Perspective on Examination Funk and Its Holistic Management
Stress is a psychological arousal state that arises when external demands exceed an individual’s coping capacity, leading to adverse effects on cognition, emotions, and physiology. Age groups of 11 – 18 years and medical students, in particular, face multiple stressors such as academic pressure, future uncertainty, and adaptation to diverse teaching protocols, which often impair learning and performance. Examination funk - an acute, transient yet intense form of anticipatory anxiety, represents a common manifestation of such stress. It is characterized by overwhelming dread, loss of confidence, poor concentration, memory block, irritability, palpitations, sweating, diarrhoea, trembling, and insomnia. Patho-physiologically, examination funk involves hyperactivation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis and autonomic nervous system, resulting in elevated secretion of adrenaline and cortisol, with subsequent impact on brain and cardiovascular function. From a homoeopathic perspective, this condition signifies a disturbance of the vital force, where individualized remedies can restore the equilibrium. Medicines such as Gelsemium sempervirens, Argentum nitricum, Lycopodium clavatum, Aconitum napellus, and Kali phosphoricum correspond closely to the emotional typologies and neuroendocrine responses observed in examination funk. Additionally, supportive systems like Biochemic remedies (e.g., Kali phos) and Bach Flower remedies (e.g., Larch, Mimulus) offer gentle yet effective adjuncts in reducing anticipatory fear and restoring inner calm. This article explores the psychological and pathophysiological basis of examination funk, its clinical features, and the role of classical homoeopathic therapeutics, highlighting the mind-body integration and individualized management essential for affected students.

Psychosocial Impact of Acne (Pimples) – Supportive Intervention with Homoeopathy
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions of all age group individuals especially among the teenagers. The clinical presentation of acne can range from a mild comedonal form to severe inflammatory cystic acne of the face, chest, and back. Acne can occur during a time of low self-esteem and high concern about appearance. This article reviews about causes, risk factors, different types, clinical presentation, general management including some home remedies and homoeopathic way of treatment of acne. Homoeopathy treats the person as a whole. It means that homoeopathic treatment focuses on the patient as a person, as well as his pathological condition.
A Triadic (3-Dimensional) Philosophical Approach to Acne
Acne is one of the most common dermatological conditions affecting adolescents and adults alike, often impacting physical appearance, self-esteem, and quality of life. It is often considered as a cosmetic concern. The complex interplay of genetics, temperament, digestive and hormonal equilibrium, and mental state underlies the visible eruptions such as papules, pustules, and cysts. Conventional perspectives emphasise hormonal, dietary, and microbial factors; however, the complexity of acne transcends these superficial explanations. Conventional therapeutic guidelines recommend the use of topical and oral retinoids, antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide, azelaic acid, chemical peels, and light therapy, among other treatments. Patients have progressively begun exploring complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) options, including homeopathy., , Worldwide, homeopathy is considered the second most prevalent kind of complementary and alternative medicine utilised by outpatient dermatology patients, with acne being the most often treated condition through CAM therapy. Evidence indicates that homeopathy can enhance the condition of acne and its associated scars, hence justifying treatment for these patients. Patients are increasingly seeking therapies that they believe provide relief with minimal adverse effects, for which homeopathy is renowned.
The term "Tonsillitis" is derived from a combination of two Latin words namely "Tonsillae" and "itis" which refers to palatine tonsil and inflammation respectively. It is also commonly called as the "Sore Throat". Tonsillitis, as the name suggests, is the inflammation of the tonsils, which are a pair oflymphoid tissue present at the back of the throat on the either side. They are also a vital component of the immune system and act as a first line of defense for protecting the human body against inhaled pathogens. Tonsillitis sometimes can even extend to other regions of the mouth and are termed as Tonsillopharyngitis (pharynx is infected) and Adenotonsillitis (adenoids are infected).Tonsillitis is most commonly observed in children and young adults but can occur in any age group. It is primarily caused by bacterial or viral agents. Viruses such as adenovirus, rhinovirus, influenza, coronavirus, and respiratory syncytial virus and bacteria such as Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus (GABHS), Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneu moni ae, and Chlamydia pneumonia are some species triggering Tonsillitihumans. Tonsillitis is considered to be contagious and can spread from one person to another with the help of airborne droplets released by coughing orsneezmg.
Ringworm Resolved With Pulsatilla – An Evidence Based Case Report
Tinea corporis (TC) is the most prevalent superficial fungal infection of the skin, caused by dermatophytes that colonize and thrive on dead keratin within the epidermis. This condition is characterized by distinctive ring shaped lesions, often accompanied by itching, redness, and discomfort. Various environmental factors, including excessive heat, high humidity, and tight-fitting clothing, create favorable conditions for fungal proliferation, exacerbating the infection and increasing the likelihood of recurrence. The persistent nature of TC not only leads to physical distress but also affects a patient’s psychological well-being, self-confidence, and overall quality of life. Therefore, effective treatment approaches that target both the underlying cause and aggravating factors are crucial for long-term relief and improved patient outcomes. Case Summary: This case of TC, with extensive spread on the body, demonstrates the curative effect of homoeopathic medicine. A 40 year-old female diagnosed with TC was treated successfully with individualised homoeopathic medicine for six months. The outcome was assessed through before-and-after-treatment photographs. The case has been reported as per HOM-CASE guidelines. A complete alleviation of TC was observed with homoeopathic medicine pulsatilla.

A Homoeopathic Lens on Anatomy; Using Kents Repertory for Deeper Understanding
Background: anatomy forms the foundational structure of medical science, providing a detailed understanding of the human body’s organs, systems, and their interconnections. In homeopathy, though the focus remains on individualized symptoms and holistic healing, a sound anatomical understanding is crucial for accurate remedy selection and effective case management. Dr. James Tyler Kent’s Repertory of the homeopathic Materia Medicais one of the most influential tools, it subtly integrates anatomical references that guide practitioners towards a deeper comprehension of the patient’s condition, not just at the functional but also at the structural level. Exploring through the lens of Kent’s repertory allows homeopaths to refine their approach to case analysis, especially in localizing symptoms, understanding pathological tendencies, and correlating them with constitutional indications. This integration enhances the precision of remedy selection, particularly when symptoms are expressed in specific anatomical regions. This article seeks to bridge the conventional anatomical perspective with the unique symptom - based classification of Kent’s repertory, promoting a more integrated and clinically insightful approach to homeopathic practice. Objective- Briefly combining about anatomy subject with Kent repertory - to know the first year CBDC Batch students how the Kent repertory will help to study the anatomy what are the location and organs or parts how we can see in the Kent repertory which are the rubrics and sub rubrics to look for. Methods- How to use the Kent repertory and it has been constructed in macro and micro construction chapters and rubrics and sub rubrics has been arranged and remedies and cross references arranged, how these chapters we can apply to anatomy. This could involve an exploration of specific symptoms or anatomical concepts found in the repertory and how they correlate with anatomical structures or conditions. Results- Highlighting the chapter which has the location related rubrics and sub rubrics and the specific remedy for the particular remedy. Implication- Now at least students will able to find out the exact location or parts or organs related rubrics how to search and where to search in Kent repertory in our day to day clinical practice. This approach deepens the understanding of anatomy or contribute to a more holistic or integrative approach to healthcare. Conclusion: NCH has applied Kent repertory for first year CBDC batch for three subjects anatomy, physiology and psychology correlation with Kent repertory related chapters and rubrics and sub rubrics how can students will able find or search in Kent repertory. Further exploration of anatomical correlations across other repertories and integration with modern diagnostic methods can strengthen this bridge between traditional and contemporary practice. Ultimately, this method enriches the art and science of homoeopathy, empowering practitioners with clarity, confidence, and clinical precision.
Conquer Tonsillitis Without Surgery – General And Homoeopathic Measures
Tonsillitis is common, especially in children. Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils most commonly caused by viral or bacterial infection. The most common problems affecting the tonsils are recurrent infections (throat or ear) and significant enlargement or obstruction that causes breathing and swallowing problems. The condition can occur occasionally or recur frequently. This article provides an overview of the aetiology, diagnosis, and appropriate general & homoeopathic management of this disorder.
Evidence Based Insights on Homeopathic Management in Tonsillitis
Tonsillitis is a common inflammatory condition of the palatine tonsils, primarily affecting children and adolescents. It is predominantly triggered by viral or bacterial acute throat infections (ATIs) and typically presents with sore throat, fever, and tonsillar hypertrophy. Although diagnosis is mostly clinical, differentiating between viral and bacterial causes can often be challenging. Recurrent tonsillitis is defined as the repeated occurrence of ATIs, interspersed with asymptomatic intervals or periods with minimal symptoms. This condition has far-reaching implications, including frequent school or work absenteeism, sleep disturbances, generalized discomfort, and increased healthcare visits all of which contribute to substantial socio-economic burden and diminished quality of life for patients and their families.
Focus on Indian Homoeopathic Educational Sector
Homoeopathy is a widely practiced system of alternative medicine in India, founded on the principle of "like cures like." Its journey in the country began in the early 19th century, with Bengal playing a crucial role in its initial development in India. The system gained traction in both civil and military sectors, thanks in part to Dr Mahendra Lal Sarkar, recognized as the first Indian homoeopath. A landmark in this progress was the establishment of the “Calcutta Homoeopathic Medical College & Hospital” in 1881—the oldest homoeopathic institution in Asia. This college continues to offer BHMS (Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery) and MD programs, is affiliated with the West Bengal University of Health Sciences (WBUHS), and is recognized by the National Commission for Homoeopathy (NCH) under the Ministry of AYUSH. India is now home to over 170 homoeopathic medical colleges, making it a global hub for homoeopathic education. Among these, National Institute of Homoeopathy (NIH) in Salt Lake, Kolkata, established in 1975, is a premier autonomous institution offering BHMS, MD, and PhD programs. D.N. De Homoeopathic Medical College & Hospital, also in Kolkata and founded in 1927, is another pr
Challenges Faced by Academic Researchers in Homoeopathic Institutions: A Critical Appraisal and Recommendations for Advancement
Academic research is fundamental to the progression of medical sciences, including homoeopathy. Despite its recognized importance, homoeopathic institutions encounter distinctive challenges that impede the cultivation of a robust research culture. This paper systematically analyzes the barriers faced by academic researchers in homoeopathic institutions, categorizing them into institutional, regulatory, infrastructural, and personal domains. Key barriers include lack of strategic vision, insufficient faculty training, limited funding, restricted data access, and inadequate research incentives. Recommendations are proposed to address these challenges and foster an environment conducive to high-quality scientific inquiry and innovation. A comprehensive multi-tiered approach is essential to promote scientific rigor and innovation in homoeopathic academia.
The Current Status and Future of the Education Sector in Homoeopathy
Homeopathy was founded 200 years ago by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann who gave direction to this branch of medicine with his famous concept “similia similibus curentur” (‘let like cure likes’). Homeopathy is based on three basic principles: 1. The rule of similia 2. Testing of medicament in healthy human being 3. The principle of homeopathic doses. Homoeopathy, has evolved into a globally recognized modality, particularly in countries such as India, Germany, Brazil, and the UK. The education sector in homoeopathy has seen remarkable development over the last few decades, particularly with state-sanctioned institutional frameworks and integration into public healthcare systems. However, the field also faces substantial challenges, including issues of scientific validation, curriculum reform, global acceptance, and integration with mainstream medicine. This article provides a critical and detailed analysis of the current status of homoeopathic education and proposes strategic pathways for its future development
Issues Concerning the Homeopathic Education Sector: A Professional Viewpoint
Homeopathy, a widely practiced alternative system of medicine, occupies a significant position in India’s healthcare and educational framework governed by the National Commission for Homoeopathy (NCH) under the Ministry of AYUSH. However, the homeopathic education sector faces persistent systemic challenges that undermine its quality, credibility, and potential for global integration. This article explores the major issues affecting homeopathic education from an expert standpoint. Addressing these multifaceted challenges is crucial to enhance the credibility, relevance, and future sustainability of homeopathic education in India. Homeopathy, developed in the late 18th century by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, has evolved significantly in India. Governed today by the National Commission for Homoeopathy (NCH) under the Ministry of AYUSH, it boasts a structured system of education with undergraduate (BHMS) and postgraduate (MD Hom) programs. Despite structured curricula and institutional oversight, critical issues persist, particularly in infrastructure, faculty standards, patient inflow, research integration, and employability. These issues not only affect the quality of education but also diminish the credibility of homeopathy as a scientific discipline.
The Future of Homoeopathy in India: A Vision for Healing and Harmony
Homoeopathy, a science known for its gentle healing and holistic approach, has come a long way in India from being introduced by foreign missionaries in the 19th century to being regulated and promoted by the Government of India in the 21st century. Today, under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji India is witnessing a powerful resurgence of traditional and integrative medicine systems, including Homoeopathy, through the Ministry of AYUSH. This article presents a reflection on the journey of homoeopathy in India, but more importantly, it looks ahead-with confidence and optimism-towards a future where homoeopathy plays a central role in the nation's public health, research, education, and global outreach.
Implementation of Competency Based Dynamic Curriculum (CBDC) & Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) – A Perspective.
A fundamental change in how homoeopathy must be learnt and experienced by students and teachers is the core of the Competency Based Dynamic Curriculum (CBDC) for BHMS and Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) for MD (Hom) based curriculum. The logic behind it is very simple, we treat a patient, and a patient represents disruption of his anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, medicine, surgery when he meets a homoeopath for seeking clinical help. When the patient meets a homoeopath, homoeopath in addition to the above-mentioned knowledge looks back on his tools (Repertory), therapeutic armamentarium at disposal (Materia Medica) and the philosophical stand which he must use to approach the patient to justify the application of the first six aphorisms (Organon). When he sits in his clinic he sits with all this knowledge, skill and attitude he is supposed to have acquired. However, in his post college days, he decides to undergo personal training under someone whom he believes will help establish as a homeopath or learn the hard way by sitting in the clinic or setting up a hospital in which he treats patients becomes competent over a period of time.
Inadequate Quality Research Outputs from Homoeopathic Colleges in India: Why?
Introduction There are about 103 undergraduate and 57 postgraduate homoeopathic medical colleges in India, permitted by National Council for Homoeopathy (NCH), for admission during the sessions 2024-25 & 2025-26. Having the largest infrastructure in terms of colleges, in comparison to other countries, their contributions in the field of research are not so much encouraging. If we meticulously analyse different factors behind such inadequate research outputs, the following issues will generally come to our minds, which are discussed below. Problems related to the faculty 1 Lack of aptitude for research among faculty members There is lack of aptitude or interest for research among large number of faculty members of homoeopathic institutions. This issue can stem from various factors, including heavy workloads, lack of trainings, and a perception that research is not valued as highly as other academic duties. Addressing this issue requires institutional support, including dedicated time for research, mentorship opportunities, and recognition for research contributions. It requires motivation by the management and support from competent authorities to enhance vision for research. Due to absence of provision of incentives for conducting research and inadequate research orientation among the faculties, there is set back to research in the premises of homoeopathic colleges. 2 Lack of mandatory research publication for teaching faculty: It can lead to a decline in academic engagement and research output, potentially fostering complacency. Research publication is crucial for professional development, maintaining academic rigor, and contributing to the broader body of knowledge. But publication of research studies, not being compulsory for the teaching faculty for their promotions & career advancements, has created complacency among teaching faculty. On the other hand, demanding research publication can add undue pressure and time constraints on faculty who are already juggling with teaching, administrative duties, and other responsibilities. The "publish or perish" culture can lead to superficial research or inflated authorship, thereby potentially lowering the overall quality of research. 1.3 Inadequate teaching faculty Shortage of faculty in many homoeopathic colleges has led to increased workloads, reduced research time, and a lack of men torship opportunities for students inter ested in research. There are less number of teachers available for taking theoretical classes, imparting practical/ clinical teach ing in OPDs & IPD of hospitals & guid ing other curricular and extra-curricular activities in the campus. Faculty with in sufficient expertise can lead to a decline in research quality and productivity, impact ing both individual researchers and the in stitution. Demotivated or less experienced (in research) faculties are unable to cater to research needs of students.
Homeopathic Practice - A Successful Career Option
Homeopathy, as a distinctive and holistic medical discipline, is gaining growing recognition in both scientific and public spheres. With the global shift toward integrative, non-invasive, and patient-centered healthcare, it presents a promising career path for new medical graduates. Homeopathic practice emphasizes individualized care and long-term patient relationships, aligning with the rising demand for preventive and personalized medicine. It also offers flexibility, especially appealing to women seeking work-life balance, as many practitioners manage their own clinics or work in adaptable healthcare settings. However, challenges such as slow initial patient buildup, limited insurance recognition, and societal expectations—particularly for women balancing family responsibilities—often deter long term commitment to practice. Despite these hurdles, homeopathy remains a deeply rewarding profession for those who approach it with perseverance and purpose. This article explores these challenges and shows how they can be transformed into stepping stones toward a successful and fulfilling career in homeopathic practice.
Emphasis of Homoeopathic Pharmacy for BHMS Students
Homeopathy was introduced in India in the early 19th century. It first flourished in Bengal and later spread throughout the country. In the beginning, the system was widely practised by amateurs in the civil and military services and others. Mahendra Lal Sircar was the first Indian who became a homeopathic physician, inspiring many allopathic doctors to follow his lead and begin homeopathic practice.The Calcutta Homeopathic Medical College, established in 1881, was the first homeopathic medical college in India and played a major role in popularising homeopathy across the nation.Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine with a long history of use in health maintenance, disease prevention, and treatment, particularly for chronic diseases. In modern times, patients and health care providers alike are calling for health services that emphasize individualized, person-centred care. A wide variety of natural sources—plants, animals, minerals, nosodes, and sarcodes—serve as the basis for homeopathic medicines.
Transforming Homoeopathic Education: The Impact of NCH Reforms
In recent years, the field of Homoeopathy in India has undergone significant transformation, primarily driven by the establishment of the National Commission for Homoeopathy (NCH) in 2020. This regulatory body, created under the National Commission for Homoeopathy Act 2020, has spearheaded a series of reforms aimed at enhancing the quality and integrity of Homoeopathy education and practice. These changes promise to elevate the standards of Homoeopathy, ensuring its practitioners are well-equipped to meet contemporary healthcare challenges. The NCH is founded with a vision, that is, to promote high quality and ethical practices in Homoeopathy and to ensure the safety and well-being of patients. By setting rigorous benchmarks for homoeopathic education and facilitating the development of competent professionals, the NCH envisaged effective contribution of Homoeopathy into the national healthcare system.
Globalizing Homeopathic Education: Convergence with WHO-GTM Strategy 2025-2034
Modernizing Homoeopathy Edu cation: The WHO GTM Strategy 2025–2034 calls for regulated, cul turally sensitive education across Traditional Medicine systems. Despite its presence in over 100 countries, Homoeopathy lacks consistent educational standards— highlighting the need for globally aligned standards. Establish Global Educational Benchmarks: Dedicated guide lines for homoeopathy will raise educational quality, strengthen reg ulatory frameworks, and enhance clinical credibility. These bench marks can support diverse educa tional models worldwide. Integrate Interdisciplinary & Complementary Systems: Aligned with Hahnemannian philosophy, Homoeopathic curricula should incorporate relevant knowledge and competencies from other TM —Ayurveda, Anthroposophy, Yoga and Naturopathy—along with nutrition, counselling, and mind– body therapies. Mobilize Support from Member States and Stakeholders : Member states should be motivated to include homoeopathy in health policies, initiate global academic dialogue, and adopt adaptable standards that reflect cultural and healthcare diversity. Embed Sustainability Across Academic, Cultural & Systemic Layers: Build resilience through clinically relevant programs, local engagement, and alignment with national healthcare strategies—re specting indigenous and biomedical knowledge and ecological values. Position India as a Global Leader: Indian institutions should champion innovation and global collaboration—through tailored programs, faculty exchange, and knowledge-sharing—to establish India as a homoeopathic education and research leader.
