“Reaching out to needy children, Showing them our love and care.

OBJECTIVES:

  1. To fulfill the objectives of HFI i.e CHILD WITHOUT PAIN AND DISABILITY.
  2. To reduce the frequency of bleeding and subsequent reduction in factor infusion and dependency.
  3. Efficacy of Homoeopathic treatment to increase the compliance of the patient in non-bleeding stage- .
  4. To improve the general condition and tolerance of the patients.
  5. To find the cost effectiveness of Homoeopathy.

SCOPE OF STUDY:

  1. Haemophilic patients do not undergo any medication other than Physiotherapy during non bleeding phase.
  2. Since Homoeopathy treats the patient as a whole, i.e. spirit, mind and body, the scope of this therapy do remain in this phase also.
  3.  As Homoeopathy is very economical and today’s scientific world promotes interpathy research, so why not to use this golden opportunity for the betterment of these patients.
  4.  The drug proving protocol allows Homoeopathy to treat the patients from phase two medication, i.e. directly on human beings without undergoing the animal trial phase.

Points to be Remembered By Hemophilics :-

  • Don’t’t panic during the episode of any type of bleeding
  • Try to control bleeding by pressure immediately
  • Apply ice locally
  • Use local thrombostatic agents, HamamelisQ locally along with ice
  • Consult your doctor whenever necessary 

Thus it is rightly said, “Research is RE-SEARCH of the established or the partially established facts in altered situations”.
