Words: Dr Frank GRUBER This is a case of a 28-year-old woman complaining of no motivation [3]. She can’t really seem to change her life, even though she wants to, because she can’t get started. Most of that revolves around a difficulty focusing [3]. She doesn’t really know what she wants. She has difficulty on
Words: Dr Narayan C DESHPANDE There are some disorders that you can’t freely discuss with your loved ones, friends and others, unlike a sinus infection. One such annoyance is anal fissure — a small tear in the thin, moist tissue that lines the anus. The condition often triggers bleeding and mild-to-moderate pain. And, once the
Words: Dr Naveen Kumar BOGGARAPU Twenty-nine-year-old MB consulted me, primarily with symptoms of irregular periods. She reported that her ‘periods were inconsistent’ — with each cycle having a gap of 4-5 months. MB was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome [PCOS] with a cyst in the right ovary. PCOS is a condition in which a woman’s
Words: Dr Naveen Kumar BOGGARAPU DP, a thirty-year-old physiotherapist, was distraught with her hair loss. She had tried various potions, shampoos and prescriptions that ‘vowed’ to regulate her hair loss for over two years. The result, however, was a disappointment.

If you, or your loved one, take homeopathic treatment, you’d have heard from your doctor about such a possibility. This is just a simple endeavour to explaining its nitty-gritty —
Words: Dr Naveen Kumar BOGGARAPU How to reduce skin disease with homeopathy. JM, a 30-year-old manager, consulted me for ‘hyperpigmentation,’ which she believed was a part of her since childhood. There was no ‘real-time’ itching, but the pigmentation was prominent on her face, limbs and back. JM reported that she’d taken conventional and Ayurveda treatments
Words: Dr Christine LASCHKOLNIG People who represent the homeopathic Nux vomica personality, or archetype, are full of anger and rage. Their environment often suffers under their repelling and offensive behaviour — of critically dredging up any mistake.

Words: Dr Christine LASCHKOLNIG Many people cannot get over bad experiences. They also carry them within — sometimes for their whole life. It is impossible for them to forgive and forget. They are haunted by buried and repressed events that push to the surface again and again. Painful memories rooted in childhood occupy the innermost
Words: Dr Naveen Kumar BOGGARAPU Nine-year-old SM presented with symptoms of faecal incontinence [encopresis] ever since she was three as her doting mother put it. Her stools were reportedly normal in the morning followed by several episodes of involuntary stools throughout the day. She would obviously soil her clothes without even being aware of it,
Words: Dr Christine LASCHKOLNIG I present two classical cases, where the homeopathic Calcarea carbonicum ‘personality,’ in children, was evident. The remedy was, therefore, prescribed — with good effect. Here’s a summary. Calcarea carbonicum seems more than an anachronism in our fast-moving world — in our two case examples, children who need their time, who can’t
