Background: Hypertension is a prevalent medical condition with significant health implications. This retrospective case record analysis aimed to investigate the efficacy of Boerhaavia diffusa mother tincture in managing hypertension. The study utilized data from diverse healthcare settings affiliated with Sivaraj Homoeopathic Medical College and Research Institute, Salem. Methods: A total of 30 cases meeting the inclusion criteria, comprising both sexes aged between 30 to 75 years, diagnosed with hypertension based on clinical parameters (systolic BP >140 mmHg, diastolic BP >90 mmHg), and presenting common symptoms, were included. Exclusion criteria encompassed cases of secondary hypertension and those with incomplete follow-ups. The efficacy of Boerhaavia diffusa mother tincture was assessed by changes in blood pressure recorded during the treatment period. The study adhered to ethical guidelines, and all patients received Boerhaavia diffusa mother tincture as part of their therapeutic regimen. Results and Discussion: Among the 30 cases analyzed, 6 patients exhibited marked improvement, 10 demonstrated moderate improvement, and 10 showed mild improvement, while 4 cases showed no improvement. Notably, the majority of patients experienced marked symptomatic relief. Despite the positive trend observed in the outcomes, the study has limitations, including a small sample size and the absence of a control group. The lack of detailed information on dosage and treatment duration further restricts the generalizability of the findings. The retrospective nature of the analysis introduces potential biases, and confounding factors such as lifestyle changes were not systematically addressed. Conclusion: This retrospective case record analysis suggests a potential beneficial effect of Boerhaavia diffusa mother tincture in managing hypertension. The majority of patients experienced symptomatic relief, although caution is warranted due to study limitations. Future research, including well-designed randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes, is needed to establish the efficacy and safety of Boerhaavia diffusa mother tincture in hypertensive patients.

Background: Cervical spondylosis (CS) is a degenerative condition of the cervical spine found almost universally in persons over50 years of age. It has become one of the common problems globally.Methods: An experimental study was conducted on 60 patients diagnosed with cervical spondylosis as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All 60 cases of cervical spondylosis were randomized into 2 groups of 30 patients each. One group was prescribed with Individualized Homoeopathic medicine in decimal scale potency and the other group was prescribed with centesimal scale potencies of Individualized Homoeopathic medicine. The Remedy Response Evaluation Form was used to assess and interpret the follow up of the patients. The improvement of the patients was assessed by the Neck Disability Index (NDI). Result: Intra-group changes in NDI score were found statistically significant (P < 0.001, unpaired t test) group difference though favored centesimal against decimal. Conclusion: On statistical analysis, the p value was less than 0.001. Hence there is a significant difference between post treatment score of centesimal potency group as compared to decimal potency group.
背景:颈椎病(CS)是一种颈椎退行性病变,几乎普遍存在于 50 岁以上的人群中。它已成为全球常见问题之一:根据纳入和排除标准,对 60 名确诊为颈椎病的患者进行了实验研究。所有 60 例颈椎病患者被随机分为两组,每组 30 人。一组处方十进制药效的个体化同种疗法药物,另一组处方厘定药效的个体化同种疗法药物。治疗反应评估表用于评估和解释患者的随访情况。通过颈部残疾指数(NDI)评估患者的改善情况。结果发现 NDI 分数的组内变化具有显著的统计学意义(P < 0.001,非配对 t 检验),但组间差异偏向于百分数而非十进制。结论经统计分析,P 值小于 0.001。因此,与十进制药效组相比,十进制药效组的治疗后评分有明显差异。

Hair loss is one of the most prevalent complaints in patients shortly after being infected with Covid-19, reported more commonly in women. The most likely cause could be either the pathogenetic aspects or psychiatric complications of Covid-19, which can lead to the appearance or aggravation of hair loss. Homoeopathy has a vital role to play in such areas; where no specific therapeutic intervention is available in modern medicine especially when the disease is stress induced. Since Homoeopathy is the only healing science that takes care of the patient as a whole; the root cause, the physical and mental state of the patient along with the disease symptoms which individualizes the patient from one another are the basis of accurate and effective homoeopathic prescription. Following the cardinal principles, significant improvement and recovery was seen in such cases with homoeopathic remedies.

Introduction: Hair loss, or alopecia, is a prevalent concern with medical and cosmetic implications. Hair loss, attributed to genetic predisposition, hormonal imbalances, and psychosocial impacts, necessitates effective treatments. This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of specific formulations Zauber™ Hair Drops (Zauber™) and Zauberöl® Premium Hair Oil (Zauberöl®) in addressing testosterone induced alopecia, utilizing a rat model. This research contributes to our understanding of potential solutions to the rising prevalence of this condition.Materials and Methods: 60 Male Wistar rats were divided into ten groups. To induce alopecia, testosterone was administered intramuscularly, excluding the normal control group. Experimental groups received distinct treatments, including oral homeopathic drops Zauber™ in mild, moderate and high doses, topical treatment Zauberöl® alone and along with ZauberTM in 3 different doses, and a standard drug, over 28 days. Comprehensive observations and assessments were conducted. Results and Discussion: The results of the study showed that all groups maintained their body weights and food consumption, but those taking Zauber™ and Zauberöl® saw considerable hair follicle growth without severe blood clotting or systemic toxicity, as seen by stable organ weights. The treatment groups showed steady haematological parameters, and sophisticated imaging showed that Zauber™ + Zauberöl® effectively promotes hair follicle growth and development. Higher anagen-to-telogen ratios in treated groups, particularly in the Zauber™ + Zauberöl® groups, show desirable efficiency in alopecia treatment than the standalone therapies. Conclusion: Our study highlights the synergistic therapeutic effects of Zauber™ and Zauberöl® in treating testosterone-induced alopecia in rats, surpassing stand-alone therapies. The observed improvements in various health indicators underscore the potential efficacy and safety of this combined treatment approach.
