Homeopathy’s Effective Approach to Psoriasis: A Case Study with Lycopodium 200c
By Dr. Devendra Kumar Munta, MD (Homeo)
When it comes to treating chronic conditions like psoriasis, homeopathy can offer remarkable results that target the underlying issues rather than just alleviating symptoms. One such case came to my attention—a seasoned shoe maker, aged 30, who had been grappling with renal stones and persistent psoriatic patches on his hands, feet, and soles. This case demonstrates how homeopathic remedies, particularly Lycopodium 200c and subsequent potencies, can lead to significant improvement in a patient’s quality of life.
Initial Treatment and Progress
The journey began on August 29, 2011, when this patient first presented with psoriasis predominantly affecting his hands. He received Psoarinum, a remedy often employed for skin conditions. However, over the following months, his condition did not show the desired improvement. Despite the lack of significant change, he was determined to find a solution that resonated with him.
On December 13, 2012, the patient reported discomfort due to right-sided renal stones, along with persistent symptoms of psoriasis. At that point, he was administered Lycopodium 200c. While initially yielding negligible results, my assessment of his continued struggle reaffirmed the need to pursue a deeper approach. I decided to up the potency and provided him with just four pills of Lycopodium 1M on December 31, 2012.
The Turning Point
The introduction of Lycopodium 1M marked a pivotal moment in his treatment journey. Following its administration, remarkable changes began to emerge in his condition. Not only did the symptoms of psoriasis start to subside, but abscesses also manifested, adhering to Herring’s law of direction of cure, which states that healing occurs from the inside out and in reverse order of the appearance of symptoms.
By the end of June 2013, the patient reported substantial relief, with a significant reduction in skin eruptions and itchiness. For almost an entire year, he experienced minimal complaints, providing an uplifting contrast to his previous struggles.
Ongoing Challenges
The road to complete healing is seldom linear. On November 8, 2013, the patient experienced a resurgence of psoriatic patches, highlighting the complexities of chronic diseases. Nevertheless, my confidence in homeopathy and his resilience led me to administer Lycopodium 1M once again, targeting the renewed symptoms.
The outcome remained positive, as the patient noted relief in the following weeks, underscoring the cyclical nature of chronic conditions and the importance of ongoing evaluation and adjustment of remedies.
Conclusion
This case exemplifies the profound impact homeopathy can have on chronic conditions like psoriasis. Through careful assessment, tailored remedies, and patient perseverance, we not only addressed the patient’s skin concerns but also supported his overall well-being. Healing is not merely about a quick fix; it’s about understanding the individual and treating the root cause of their ailments.
