Homeopathy Clinical tips through cases

Evil Spirits were knocked out by Belladona
During early days of my practice, I was once invited alongwith my family members by one of my friends on Eid holidays. As we entered their home, the father and mother of my friend were sitting on a bed encircling their daughter-in-law and murmuring some verses from the Holy Qur’an. As my friend was not at home, therefore, his wife escorted us to the Drawing room and asked to wait for her husband. The atmosphere of the home was not lively but scary as if something unpleasant would happen. In the meantime, the father of my friend entered and informed that my friend was just coming.  He sat on the chair and narrated in a hesitating tone that his daughter-in-law who was married three months ago had been overwhelmed by some evil spirits (demoniac) as diagnosed by a spiritual leader. However, another religious scholar opined that the girl was hysteric and needs medical help. The father disclosed by giving further details that during such attacks, she becomes so violent that she growls with fearful protruding red eyes and strikes whosoever comes before him. At times, she is abusive and also tears away her clothes. The father asked as to whether homoeopathy offers any treatment for such patients. The one and the only remedy according to the stated symptoms wasBelladona which was given in 1M potency twice a day for two days. After three weeks it was reported by my friend that an attack of mild intensity was still recorded. The final forceful punch of Belladona-CM knocked out the remaining spirits and made them fled away forever restoring the patient to normal life.

Bothrops can make you speak
During the 2^nd week of February, 2009, I was examining the patients at my clinic when my daughter informed on phone in a shrieking tone that Mama had suffered a sudden stroke and lost her voice. I excused with the visiting patients and rushed to my home. On my way to home, I was so perplexed that despite my best efforts, I could not recall a single remedy to my mind for this ailment. In fact, I was in a shocking condition and feared as if I was losing something very precious. As I entered the home, my wife was continuously rubbing the left side of her neck with her hand and trying to speak out her ailment with a rolling tongue in her mouth. Doubting of a facial paralysis, I gave 2 drops of Causticum-1M in some water which she swallowed without pouring it out of her mouth. After an hour, I administered Lachesis-200. As I observed, there was no distortion of face which invalidated the chances of paralysis. Blood Pressure and pulse were quite normal, grip of hands was OK. However, my daughters insisted me to visit the hospital for thorough medical checkup.

The Doctors could not ascertain the cause of this stroke that rendered my spouse speechless as all the tests including ECG, Blood CP and even the CT Scan of brain were normal. During the process of these tests, I kept on administering Causticum which showed some improvement in the speech with utterance of broken words as if intoxicated.  Nevertheless, I carried on exploring the right remedies which could fully restore her speech. Finally, I was convinced by Bothrops Lanceolatus the characteristics of which have been stated in the Materia Medica of Dr. William Boericke as ‘Inability to articulate without any affection of the tongue’. I therefore started giving it in 200 potency and the patient was seen on the path of further improvement within the next 24 hours. On her complaint of pain and stiffness of neck, Cimicifuga-200 and Lachnanthes-30 were also alternated with Bothrops being the principal remedy. It took about 10 days to restore her speech. Now she is well communicative and even shouts whenever something wrong is committed against her will. Thanks to Allah and Bothrops, all family members are happy to find her back in normal life.

The Power of Ignatia
21st November, 2008 was a gloomy and disheartening day for the residents of Hillview Avenue when an ambulance carrying the dead body of Dr. Masood reached the vicinity. Everyone was mourning and shedding tears over the death of such a popular, compassionate and caring physician who remained in the hospital for about one week after a road accident. It was especially an irreparable loss for the widow and three children of the departed soul. Yet another blow and misfortune from the heavens fell when the ailing father of the grief-stricken widow breathed his last just after four days. The widow of Dr. Masood was torn into pieces with the series of these two colossal tragedies. After 3-4 days, my wife enquired as to whether there is any remedy in homoeopathic system which could console and act as anti-depressant. Ignatia flashed into my mind which was anxiously waiting for her. The remedy was thus administered in 1M twice a day for three days and amazingly, the widow started coming back to life within one week with a sound sleep at night. Thanks to Allah, she has also started taking interest in her home affairs with the soothing effect of Ignatia. I salute to the power of Ignatia.
