Increased incidences of myopia, especially in Asian countries, have been attributed to excess near work. Topical use of Atropine was effective in controlling myopia but has got side effects and rebound effects after stopping the treatment. Myopia treatment has come a long way from glasses/contact lenses to advanced minimally invasive refractive procedures and tremendous improvement in technology and increased dependence on digital devices, control of myopia progression remains a big challenge. Homoeopathy mentions Ruta graveolens (Ruta) 30 for myopia with its action on accommodation. Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of Ruta Graveolens 30 in terms of static, reducing, or improvingvisual acuity in cases of simple myopia in the age group of 8-30 yrs. in both sexes. Materials and Methods: A total of 320 subjects were screened by Dioptric Test and Vision acuity by Snellen chart, 52 subjects who were diagnosed to have simple myopia were divided into 2 groups by Lottery method sampling, where one group was treated with Ruta graveolens 30 and another group with Placebo, out of 52 subjects 6 subjects were dropped during follow-up. 46 cases of simple myopia from the aged 8–30 years were studied by randomised control method. before the study symptoms were recorded according to the Myopic questionnaire, Dioptric Test and Vision acuity. For the study group Ruta 30 and for the Control group Placebo was given in BD oral dose for 1 day & repeated after every 15 days for 3 months, thereafter, treatment was discontinued. After stopping treatment again symptoms were recorded. Design: This is a randomized, single-blinded, experimental study. Results: Before the study, the mean of the study group was -2.11 D (Right eye) -1.72 D (Left eye), while in the placebo group -2.23D (Right eye) -1.95 D (Left Eye). The difference in means between the two groups of -0.12 (Right eye) and -0.23 (Left Eye). In Dioptric Test, marked improvement was seen in 14 (60.86%) subjects in the study group where the average reduction in dioptric number was -0.75 D, and in 3 (13.04%) subjects’ Dioptric number was static but in 6 (26.08%) subjects no improvement was seen. In visual acuity, 9 (39.13%) subjects show mark improvement with a reduction in visual acuity by 6/3, and 12 (52.17%) subjects show static numbers whereas 2 (8.69%) subjects show an increase in Visual acuity. The mean change after 3 months was 1.91 (Right Eye) and -1.65 (Left Eye) inthe Ruta group and 1.91(Right Eye) and -1.65 (Left Eye) in the placebo group respectively and the difference in their means of -0.34 (Right eye) -0.61 (Left Eye). Conclusion: The results of this study show that the use of Ruta 30 in BD orally dose for 1 day & repetition after every 15 days for 3 months has reduced significantly Myopic progression as compared to the Placebo Group.

Background: Home sickness is the distress or impairment caused by an actual or anticipated separation from home. Symptoms of both depression and anxiety are frequently reported by sufferers, along with withdrawn behavior and trouble focusing on things unrelated to their homes. In its mildest form, homesickness drives positive attachment behaviours, such as reestablishing contact with loved ones, and encourages the development of coping mechanisms (1). Homesickness may place individuals at risk for poor adjustment outcomes, such as emotional and social difficulties (1) In the present study we take approach to examine weekly levels of homesickness and to study the effectiveness of homoeopathic management against counseling alone in cases of homesickness. The present study also addresses two main questions. First do homeopathic medicines reduces symptoms across 24 weeks? Also, how counseling reduces symptoms of Homesickness over 24 weeks. The current study extends previous work in several ways. We will examine individual homesickness using assessment (Questionnaire for homesickness) The present study advances the past work on homesickness by using a comparative method of study to find out the effects of homoeopathic management in contrast to counseling alone. Objectives:1) Primary objective-To access the comparison of homoeopathic management versus counseling with placebo in Homesickness. 2) Secondary objective– To evaluate the reduction of symptoms using John archer questionnaire scale of homesickness

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.

Gout, a form of inflammatory arthritis, poses significant challenges in its management due to limited efficacy and adverse effects associated with conventional therapies. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Bacillus no.7, a probiotic agent, and individualized homeopathic medicine in the treatment of gout. A comparative interventional study was conducted on 46 patients diagnosed with gout, systematically assigned to two groups: Group A receiving individualized homeopathic medicine , Group B receiving Bacillus no. 7. ACR EULAR Criteria was utililized for screening the potential patients of gout.The primary outcome measures serum uric acid levels, assessed at baseline and follow-up visits over a period of 6 months. Secondary outcomes encompassed reduction in intensity of pain (using NPRS). Statistical analysis revealed significant improvements in pain intensity and serum uric acid levels in both intervention groups. However, significant difference was observed between Bacillus no.7 and individualized homeopathic medicine groups in terms of efficacy. Furthermore, both interventions demonstrated a favorable safety profile with minimal adverse effects. Overall, our findings suggests that individualized homeopathic medicine may offer promising alternative therapeutic options for managing gout as compared to Bacillus no.7, warranting further investigation into their mechanisms of action and long-term effects.[1][4]

Halitosis or breath odor is defined as an unpleasant or offensive odor emanating from the mouth In the general population, halitosis has a prevalence ranging from 50% in the USA to between 6% and 23% in China, and a recent study had revealed a prevalence of self- reported halitosis among Indian dental students ranging from 21.7% in males to 35.3% in females. The homoeopathic studies on halitosis are very much limited and thus the research wants to know the importance of homoeopathic management in cases of halitosis. Aim and Objectives: This research aimed primarily to explore the efficacy of Individualized Homoeopathic Medicine in cases of Halitosis of age group 3 to 18 years. The secondary objectives is to know the prevalence and to find out the most commonly indicated homeopathic medicine. Materials and Methods: A thorough case-taking process, guided by Homoeopathic principles, was conducted on 45 participants having halitosis. The Organoleptic Scale was utilized to gauge halitosis. Indicated Homoeopathic medicines were prescribed based on symptom totality. Regular assessments, follow-ups, and statistical analysis using t-tests and Microsoft Excel were integral components of the methodology. Results: The result reveals 80% participants shown improvement in halitosis after homoeopathic intervention while 20% shown resistant to the improvement and statistically the study is highly significant as collected t value (13.33) exceeded the table t value of 2.02 at 5% significance. Conclusion: The study found that the indicated homoeopathic medicines exhibited a notable effect in ameliorating the halitosis, assessed by organoleptic scale of age group 3 to 18 years.
