Abstract:
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the most common inflammatory bowel diseases. As in most of the cases, the exact cause is unknown
Homoeopathy, however, provides a better response in such conditions, one such case report is presented below. Patient attended out patient
department (OPD) chiefly for complaints of frequent passage of bloody stool and abdominal pain. He was suffering from idiopathic UC for
the past 10 years. After unsatisfactory outcome with modern medicine, patient turned to homoeopathic treatment. After detailed case‑taking
and repertorization, Hydrastis was given in low potency, and gradually, the potency was raised as per the response of the medicine upon
patient. Within 3–4 months of homoeopathic treatment, the patient started improving and continues to be free from his complains at the time
of last follow‑up visit in OPD.
