DENGUE IN CHANDIGARH AND HOMEOPATHY

Dengue and its Homeopathic Treatment
As I have been getting dozens of mails everyday since last week ,asking me on how homeopathy can help in dengue fever; I have decided to publish this post rather than answering every mail individually. Also I have been getting queries regarding a particular homeopathic medicine Eupatorium Perfiolatum as being preventive for dengue fever.
Should Eupatorium be used as preventive in dengue
There is no conclusive evidence of Eupatorium being a preventive medicine for dengue fever. Although the symptoms that are produced by dengue closely match this drug , no way should it be used for preventive measures. I would rather advise people to stay away from such hyped claims as this would lead many to shed off their regular guard and become more susceptible to a mosquito byte.
what’s the homeopathic treatment for Dengue
I would advise people along with homeopathic medication, to be in touch with a hospital, whenever dengue has been diagnosed. Kindly do not substitute hospital treatment with homeopathic treatment as platelet count need to be checked quite often. Here Eupatorium has a good role .The key indications for the use of Eupatorium are high fever, with very strong muscle and joint pains.30C potency can be used every hourly for the first few hours and later on the frequency be reduced to four times a day. Vomiting may also be a part of the symptomatology. If the patient starts to bleed rush him to the hospital as the platelet count may have fallen down considerably and would require .If platelet count falls below a critical level (40000/cm), it may be necessary to transfuse fresh blood or platelet rich plasma (PRP). At this stage homeopathic medicines that are very useful are lachesis , Hamemelis ,Millefolium.
I agree Dr Sharma , though many homeopaths consider Eupatorium perfoliatum as a preventive medicine for dengue but the correct way of prescribing should be made according to the homeopathic pronciples. Aphorism 100-102 deals with the treatment of epidemic diseases. According to Dr.Hahnemann, a carefully observing physician can arrive so nearly at knowledge of the true state of the epidemic from the examination of even the first and second patients and can even find a suitable homoeopathic remedy for it. Dr. Hahnemann recommends investigating each epidemic disease as a new and unknown case and selecting medicine according to its symptom similarity.
