‘Drug Proving' is a method, unique to Homoeopathy where the pathogenesis of a drug is evolved through its trials on apparently Healthy Human Provers. Drug proving is the process of acquiring knowledge of instruments intended for the cure of natural disease (Aphorism - 105)5 Objective: To find out the pathogenetic effects of an Araucaria Columnaris on healthy human beings. Methodology: Randomised double blind placebo controlled study. It is recommended to have at least 50 provers who can complete the total duration. The provers divided into 2 group one medicinal group (Araucaria Columnaris) which consist 25 provers and another placebo group with 25 provers. Record were maintained of both group, then the analysis was done and characteristic symptoms of Araucaria Columnaris were identified. Result:Since only one prover from medicinal group experienced symptom out of 25 provers. Therefore, we rejected alternate hypothesis. Conclusion: As only 2 provers showed few symptoms, from which one prover was from placebo group and another one was from medicinal group which experienced few symptoms which were not so prominent to be considered as pathogenic symptoms of Araucaria columnaris 3X. So we concluded that Araucaria columnaris 3X does not give pathogenic symptoms on healthy human being of both sexes.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a prevalent condition among women aged 40 to 80 years, significantly impacting their quality of life. Despite available conventional treatments, interest persists in alternative therapies like Homeopathy. This case series investigates the efficacy of Homeopathic interventions in managing SUI. Through consecutive sampling, with a total of 45 patients with clinically diagnosed SUI were recruited. Additionally,the study aimed to identify the most commonly prescribed remedy for this condition. Homeopathic medicines were administered based on symptom similarity. The Questionnaire for urine incontinence diagnosis (QUID) scale was used for diagnosis whereas Symptom Severity Score (SSS) Scale was utilized to evaluate the severity of SUI Before and after treatment. Thorough homeopathic consultations and personalized prescriptions led to significant reductions in SUI severity post-treatment, with mean score of SSS decreased from 7.8 before treatment to 5.3 after treatment. The findings of this study indicate that homeopathic medicines significantly help in controlling the cases of SUI.

Background:Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating mental health condition that can develop in individuals who have experienced or witnessed traumatic events, such as road traffic accidents (RTAs). This research article explores the significant role of homeopathy in the management and treatment of PTSD among RTA survivors. PTSD is characterized by a complex interplay of symptoms, including intrusive thoughts, nightmares, hyperarousal, and emotional numbing, often leading to impaired functioning and a diminished quality of life. Objectives: 1st objective was to evaluate the role of homoeopathic medicines in treating the cases of post traumatic stress disorder in road traffic accident survivors and 2nd objective was to find out the most commonest indicated homoeopathic medicines in treating cases of PTSD in RTA survivors. Methods: This was an experimental, nonrandomized, uncontrolled study which was carried out on the participants who have been diagnosed with PTSD after RTA. A structured questionnaire regarding symptoms of PTSD was filled out by participants. Participants of any gender and of any age were included and participants with grave pathology and suffering from any mental disease were excluded. Paired t-test was applied to measure the PTSD checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) with Life Events Checklist for DSM-5 (lec-5) and Criteria A Part 3 scale score. Results: 50 participants took part in the study. 94% (n=47) showed improvement and 6% (n=3) showed no improvement. 94%(n=47) participants noticed considerable changes in their health condition after taking homoeopathy and after following advice given to them and 6% (n=3) didn’t notice any change. After applying the paired t-test the calculated t value came to be as 12.97 which is greater than table t-value that came as 2.01 and the two tailed p value came less than 0.0001, by conventional criteria, this difference is considered to be extremely significant. Conclusion: According to above result we conclude that Homoeopathic Medicines in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in Road Traffic Accident (RTA) Survivors are Effective.
