Case Studies

Case Summary

A 28-year-old woman presented with PCOS diagnosed 4 years prior. She had irregular cycles (every 45–90 days), acne, hair thinning, weight gain, and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR 3.4). She had been on Metformin for 2 years with partial response. Constitutional homeopathic treatment was initiated alongside lifestyle modification. Within 3 months, cycle regularity improved to 32–35 days. At 9 months, ultrasound showed significant reduction in follicular cysts, AMH levels normalised, and insulin resistance markers improved markedly.

Case Summary

A 42-year-old male with a 9-year history of severe plaque psoriasis involving the elbows, lower back, and scalp (PASI score 18). He had been on topical corticosteroids and two courses of systemic treatment with recurrence after each. Complete case history revealed a strong family history of autoimmune conditions, significant emotional suppression, and a history of childhood skin suppression. Constitutional treatment was initiated. By month 6, PASI reduced to 8. At month 12, PASI score was 2 with only one small residual patch on the elbow.

Case Summary

A 6-year-old boy with a 3-year history of recurrent tonsillitis (8–10 episodes per year), requiring antibiotics each time. ENT surgeon had recommended tonsillectomy. Parents sought homeopathic opinion before proceeding with surgery. Constitutional treatment was started with particular attention to the child's constitution, recurrent susceptibility, and family history. Within 3 months, recurrence frequency halved. By month 8, episodes ceased entirely. At 2-year follow-up, the child remains free of recurrent tonsillitis. Surgery was not required.

Case Summary

A 35-year-old woman with a 5-year history of generalised anxiety disorder and secondary insomnia. She had been on benzodiazepines for 2 years with dependency developing. She presented with racing thoughts, inability to switch off, heightened sensitivity to noise, and an inability to sleep without medication. Constitutional homeopathic treatment was initiated. By month 2, she was sleeping 5–6 hours without medication. By month 4, sleep was 7–8 hours and anxiety had reduced significantly. At 6 months, she reported her GAD-7 score had reduced from 18 to 5, and benzodiazepines had been stopped under psychiatric supervision.

Case Summary

A 52-year-old woman with a 7-year history of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis, managed on Methotrexate and Hydroxychloroquine. Despite medication, she had persistent joint pain, morning stiffness of 90+ minutes, and fatigue. DAS-28 score was 5.2 at presentation. Constitutional homeopathic treatment was started as an adjunct to her existing DMARD therapy. By month 6, morning stiffness had reduced to 20 minutes. By month 12, DAS-28 was 3.1. At 18 months, her rheumatologist had reduced her Methotrexate dose by 50% and her DAS-28 was 2.1 — low disease activity.

Case Summary

A 30-year-old male with a 4-year history of IBS-D (diarrhoea-predominant), with secondary health anxiety triggered by his gut symptoms. He was having 5–8 loose stools daily, urgency, bloating, and had become socially withdrawn due to fear of symptoms in public. Multiple investigations were normal. Conventional antispasmodics provided minimal relief. Constitutional homeopathic analysis revealed a clear remedy picture connecting gut and mental symptoms. By month 3, stool frequency reduced to 2–3 normal stools daily. By month 8, he was functionally symptom-free and had returned to normal social and professional life.
