The Soul of Homeopathic Remedies: Picricum Acidum (Dr. Rajan Sankaran)
Picricum acidum is a remedy of the mineral kingdom. The main theme of an acid is struggle followed by collapse; exertion and exhaustion. The struggle is constant. It is an effort that, the person feels, has to be made in a particular direction. At some point in this constant struggle, the patient is so exhausted that a small setback like the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back, leads to a state of collapse. In Picricum acidum we see a tremendous effort in the direction of intellectual achievement. The main delusions in Picricum acidum are: “Delusion, arms reach the …

Homeopathic Treatment and Remedies for Kidney Stones – Dr. K. S. Gopi
Kidney stones (renal lithiasis, nephrolithiasis) are small, hard mineral deposits that form inside your kidneys. The stones are made of mineral and acid salts. Kidney stones have many causes and can affect any part of your urinary tract — from your kidneys to your bladder. Often, stones form when the urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together. Passing kidney stones can be quite painful, but the stones usually cause no permanent damage. Depending on your situation, you may need nothing more than to take pain medication and drink lots of water to pass a kidney stone. …
Pathology and Homoeopathy: What Homoeopathy Can Do (Dr. S.K. Banerjea)
In my 25 years experience with homoeopathy both in India, Europe and the United States, I have had the privilege of treating hundreds, if not thousands, of cases suffering with grave pathology. In India, particularly Calcutta and West Bengal, Homoeopathy is used as primary care and patients often opt for homoeopathy in preference to surgery. I believe this is due to a number of reasons: 1) Due to family tradition historically family members may have had successful homoeopathic treatment. 2) There is a faith and expectation that the consultant and experienced homoeopath can and will successfully treat pathology. 3) Lack …
Varicocele – The most common cause of male infertility – Homeopathic Treatment and Medicines
Varicocele is an abnormal enlargement of the veins present in the scrotum which drains the testicles. It is the one of the major causes of male infertility and low sperm count. In some cases, the testicles fail to develop or shrink due to Varicocele. The main cause of Varicocele is not known (idiopathic) as it occurs when the valves within the veins along the spermatic cord do not work properly. This results in reverse flow of blood into the pampiniform plexus in the scrotum. The resulting increased pressure in the veins causes Varicocele. The main symptom of Varicocele is presence …

Homeopathy for Holistic Child Development (Dr. M.A. Rajalakshmi)
The word holistic has been recently used to mean a number of different things including using a combination of different therapies. In homeopathy the quintessence of what holistic means is treating the individual as a whole and not just the different parts. Homeopathy looks at the root of the problem. If there is a behavioural issue the homeopath will first look at the circumstances that led to the behaviour. For example if the child has temper tantrums it may be due to a hypersensitivity to the environment or some internal discomfort. Addressing this with homeopathic treatment may help reduce …

Four Aphorisms for Dr. J. T. Kent
“It is worse than useless to give a second dose until the effects of the first dose have ceased.” “Never, under any circumstances, make use of local applications for an internal derangement. It is the highest order of medical profanity!” “A Sycotic is never cured unless a discharge is brought back”. “When a remedy has benefited a patient satisfactorily, never on your life, change your remedy, but repeat that remedy so long as you can benefit the patient. Do not regard the symptoms that have come up.” (Dr. James Tyler Kent – Kent’s Aphorisms and …
