Abstract:
Gangrene and its associated amputations are clinically challenging, but Homoeopathy
offers therapy options. In this case series, 5 cases are presented, in which the
homoeopathic treatment prevented amputation of a body part. Homoeopathy stimulates
the body’s ability to heal through its immune mechanisms; consequently, it achieves
wound healing and establishes circulation to the gangrenous part. Instead of focusing
on the local phenomena of gangrene pathology, treatment focuses on the general
indications of the immune system, stressing the important role of the immune system
as a whole. The aim was to show, through case reports, that homoeopathic therapy
can treat gangrene without amputing the gangrenous part, and hence has a strong
substitution for consideration in treating gangrene.
