Abstract:
Objective: To elicit the pathogenetic response of the drug Amoora rohituka in homoeopathic
potencies on healthy human beings.
Methodology: Drug Amoora rohituka was proved by the Central Council for Research in
Homoeopathy through double-blind placebo-controlled method. The study was conducted at three
centers. The drug was proved in two potencies (6C and 30C) on 53 apparently healthy volunteers
who were selected after conducting pre-trial medical examination by the medical specialists and
routine laboratory investigations. In the first phase volunteers were given 56 doses (04 doses per
day for 14 days) of placebo. In the next two phases 56 doses (04 doses per day for 14 days) of
each potency or placebo were consumed. The symptoms generated during the trial period were
noted by the volunteers and elaborated by the Proving Masters. The data obtained from all the
three centers was compiled at proving-cum-data processing cell at CCRH headquarters after de-
-coding.
Observations: Out of the 53 provers who were on actual drug trial, 29 manifested symptoms. Drug
was able to produce symptoms in each potency more or less related to every part of the body.
Some of the symptoms have been reproved which are mentioned in different literatures after the
fragmentary proving.
Conclusion: New and reproved pathogenetic responses elicited during the proving trial expands
the scope of use of the drug Amoora rohituka and will benefit the research scholars and clinicians.
These symptoms will carry more value when verified clinically.
