Homeopathic Consultation Case Study

Patient Presentation:
A patient presenting with severe throat pain, body pains, and head heaviness sought consultation.

Practitioner:
Dr. Devendra Kumar Munta, MD (Homeo)

Assessment Methodology:
In an innovative approach, a data logger was utilized to select the appropriate homeopathic remedy. This device measures the temperature of the human body using a water soil sensor at one-second intervals, effectively capturing temperature variability. The sensor was affixed to the skin of the patient’s forearm to gather comprehensive data. A total of 600 temperature points were recorded, allowing for thorough analysis.

Data Analysis:
The correlation coefficients were computed by comparing the new patient readings against previous remedy readings. The collected temperature data were specifically analyzed in correlation with the Belladona remedy readings.

Initial Remedy and Follow-Up:
A dose of Belladona 200c was administered to the patient, and a follow-up was scheduled for later in the evening.

Evening Follow-Up Findings:
Upon return, the patient reported a reduction in body pain and head heaviness; however, the throat pain had intensified. To address the worsening throat condition, temperature variability was once again recorded, utilizing the same methodology as before.

Further Analysis:
This time, the temperature variability readings indicated a correlation with both Belladona and a second remedy, Mercurius Solubilis.

Second Remedy Administration:
A dose of Mercurius Solubilis 200c was then prescribed, which is anticipated to provide relief from the throat pain.

Conclusion:
This case highlights the potential of using data loggers in homeopathic research to inform remedy selection based on real-time physiological data. Further monitoring and evaluation will be necessary to assess the effectiveness of the subsequent treatment.
