Study of 413 Cases of Bronchial Asthma Treated With Homoeopathic System of Medicine

Abstract

Bronchial Asthma is one of the clinical research assignments allocated for study to Regional Research lnstitute for Homoeopathy, New Delhi. The principal aim of this project is to ascertain efficacy of Homoeopathic treatment in Bronchial asthma cases. 413 cases that have been registered under study for Bronchial asthma at this lnstitute ever since April 1980 are taken up for the present study. ln this paper, various facts of asthma observed upon these patients, their constitutions, personal & family history of allergic disorders and various aetiological factors have been studied.There are, however, no established specific drugs for Bronchial asthma as the treatment in Homoeopathy is INDIVIDUAL based; and not DISEASE based, As such a case of Bronchial asthma is treated as a WHOLE. The medicine in a particular case is ,so selected that it is otherwise capable of producing a similar disease picture in a healthy person; this fact is already ascertained by careful drug-trials on animals and healthy human beings. The drugs are given in a diluted and attenuated form, to arouse the vital curative reaction in sick person. This process is very much similar to DESENSITISATION. The principal aim of this study is to evolve a group of drugs with their reliable indications found to be effective in relieving the cases of Bronchial asthma.
