3. There can be 3 APPROACHES
in HOMOEOPATHIC
MANAGEMENT of COVID-19
6. 2.Constitutional Approach:
โข A medicine that has been working well in
the patient previously.
โข We can think of remedies like Pulsatilla,
Calcarea Carb, and Lycopodium as
long-acting and also have a marked
action on the chest..
โข Constitutional medicine is known to
improve immunity.
7. 3.Anti- Miasmatic/Nosode:
โข When no other symptoms are available.
Remedies like Tuberculinum, and
Carcinocin can be used with a specific
action on the lungs.
โข This approach can help the patient to
recover faster in some of the difficult cases
who are not responding to the normal line
of treatment.
8. HOMOEOPATHIC APPROACH
โข Mode of onset & Progress
โข Precipitating factor ( If available)
โข Stage of the disease.
โข The predominant suffering in the patient โ
Intensity.
โข Accompanying symptomsโ Chill, sweat,
body pain, weakness, mental state, thirst.
9. โข Thermal state & Tongue appearance.
โข Coryza, Throat irritation, loss of smell or
taste, sore throat.
โข Cough- Type of cough โ Constant,
concussive, hard, barking, whooping,
retching, hacking etc
โข Respiration โ Accelerated, gasping,
impeded etc..
10. โข Fever- Stage, special features
โข Complicated stage: โ Collapse, shock,
sinking, weakness, convulsions, acidosis,
Thrombosis, sepsis, Hypertension.
11. POTENCY SELECTION
Selection of potency should depend upon the factors which
are:
- Suitable for all Age groups.
- Works in all susceptibility.
- Do not show Homoeopathic aggravation.
- Has the capacity to work on acute severe conditions.
So considering these few things as per our experience 30c
potency which is medium potency is covering all
possibilities.
