Mucous membranes of lips, genitalia, sun-exposed areas such as the face, hands and rarely hair and eyes may also be affected. Many articles have shown the efficacy of individualised homoeopathic medicines in the treatment of Vitiligo. Method: A case of Focal Vitiligo (FC) is done according to the HOM-CASE guidelines with intervention of individualised Homoeopathic medicine Phosphorus in ultra dilution. Result: The vitiligo spots are healed completely without any adverse events. The outcome was assessed by Monarch Inventory (Improved version of the modified Naranjo criteria for Homoeopathy) along with the photographs. Conclusion: This case study has proven over and again the strength of Individualised homoeopathic prescription. This case study's findings merit rigorous clinical trials, especially Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT), to test the efficacy of an individualised homoeopathic intervention in vitiligo cases.

Although, an increase in both the prevalence and incidence of type 2 Diabetes has occurred globally, particularly in an Indian population who has been susceptible to this disease. In Homeopathy, Constitutional prescribing is based on the totality of symptoms which includes the miasmatic state that is inherited or acquired. The main aim and objective of this article are to study the miasmatic analysis of the symptoms in T2DM patients and their effectiveness in the treating of this disease. Methodology: Prospective, Observational, non-randomized, non controlled case series age group from 18-60 years both gender having T2DM were assessed both subjectively and objectively over one year. The outcome of the study was measured by symptomatic changes subjectively and objectively along with the blood sugar levels including HbA1C changes and according to case requirement. Results: In these 30 cases of T2DM, 12 cases (40%) were mixed miasmatic diseases,9 cases (30%) were psora-syphilitic, 7 cases (23.33%) were psoric, 2 cases (6.67%) were Psora-sycotic. Wilcoxon signed rank test showd a statistically significant improvement different between the before and after treatment (Z=-4.963, p<0.001). So, the result is showing that treating the T2DM with an understanding of the Miasmatic analysis shows much efficacy. Conclusion: This study has shown positive results in terms of miasmatic analysis in the treatment of T2DM. A further randomized controlled trial with long-term follow-ups need to be conducted for definite conclusions.

Nutrition is the science of food and its relationship to health. Poor nutrition leads to poor immunity and susceptibility to a different type of infectious disease, metabolic diseases, so forth. Significant advancement has been made during the past 50 years in nutrition and causes of deficiency at cellular levels. A deficiency results from either absolute lack of required food nutrients or defect in assimilation at internal milieu, resulting in Malnutrition. The causes of Malnutrition are multifactorial, particularly in Homoeopathy, the causes of disease or deficiency by the fundamental causes, i.e., Miasm. A thorough understanding of miasms makes easier to treat the innumerable type of chronic diseases, especially Nutritional deficiency disorders. It is necessary to diagnose these deficiency disorders with clinical tools, assess the underlying Miasm, and prescribe the remedy based on the totality of the patient's symptoms.

The COVID-19 infection has emerged from Wuhan, China in late December of 2019 and soon become a global health emergency spreading over 216 countries and territories around the world as there are no specific established treatments or vaccines available till date. Scientists around the world are constantly enganged in research work to find out specific treatment and vaccines for this disease. Several cases of treatment are being reported by the Homoeopathic physicians all over the world and the results are promising. Some of the Homoeopathic medicine which are being used with good results are Bryonia alba, Phosphorus, Arsenic album, Gelsemium sempervirens and Carboneum oxygenisatum. Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India has recommended the Homoeopathic medicine Arsenic album 30 as an immune booster for its possible role in preventing COVID-19 infection, and results are slowly coming out in the favour of this medicine. Homoeopathy as an adjuvant to the standard care should be evaluated for the management of COVID-19.

Venous, Arterial and Neuropathic ulcers are the major types of chronic leg ulcers and factors like smoking, obesity, Diabetes mellitus & increased age boost up the incidence of ulceration. Expanded rate of leg ulcers, monetary weight, and recurrence of the ulcer which increases the degree of Homeopathy. The present review comprises the literature on the Homoeopathic approach in managing the various chronic leg ulcers. Materials and Methods: A literature search was conducted in databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, Wiley online library, Springer, Scopus, AYUSH portal, to collect all relevant research studies, review article, case series & case reports, published from 1990 until July 2020. This research was categorised by study type and assessed according to study design with their clinical outcomes. Results: Out of these 5 studies, 3 are case studies & one is a prospective observational study and one is a randomized clinical trial and it shows that chronic leg ulcers have marked improvement by the use of Homoeopathic medicine both internally and externally. Conclusion: Homoeopathy is effective in the management of chronic leg ulcers mainly diabetic foot ulcers and varicose ulcers. A combination of both internal and external medicines also showed excellent results in treating this illness. There is only limited evidence available to show the effectiveness of Homoeopathy and more studies needed for the same.

The exact aetiology is indistinct, but it is supposed to be triggered by chronic irritation or occlusion of the hair follicles due to different causes, which leads to the inflammation of the affected parts. If untreated, fibrosis and keloid formation can be evident, presented with chronic scarring and/or scarring alopecia without active inflammation. Pruritis, pain, contact bleeding and alopecia are some of the clinical presentations of this illness. If the secondary bacterial infection is present, pustules, sinuses and abscesses may be seen. Conventional medical management includes topical or oral antibiotics, corticosteroids, retinoids, topical fusidic acid and topical urea, intralesional injection of triamcinolone, surgical excision, electrosurgery, cryotherapy, light and laser therapy. This article aims to deliver all the relevant information of AKN presented in literary works and present the successful case treated with Calcarea Phosphoricum and individualised Homoeopathic medicine. This article will highlight the need for the Individualisation of a case, althoughrare, required to treat any named ailment with the help of Homoeopathy.
