Though centuries, food is essential for human beings in health and disease. 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.

Acne Keloidalis Nuchae (AKN), also known as Folliculitis Keloidalis Nuchae (FKN), is a rare dermatological disease characterised by persistent folliculitis at the nape of the neck that forms keloid like scars and finally leads to cicatricial alopecia, and mainly affects the African ethnic group ranging from 0.45 to 9% prevalence rate. 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.

COVID -19 Pandemic, which initially occurred in the city of Wuhan, Hubein Province of China, is rapidly spreading worldwide and showing Immediate or Delayed Complications and is a challenge to the entire medical fraternity. To combat the complications like Cytokine storm, Intravascular Thrombotic phenomenon, Life-threatening Pneumonia, ARDS, Respiratory failure, or Cardiac arrest, Conventional Medicines such as Antibiotics, Antivirals, Steroids and Multivitamin Supplements were used out of necessity in view of saving lives which lead to many serious adverse Drug events like Severe Prostration, Immunosuppression and Opportunistic Infections. One the Recent Serious opportunistic events reported in many parts of India is Mucormycosis, popularly known as Black Fungus. Though Mucormycosis is often seen in Diabetics, Immunocompromised persons and Patients on Aggressive usage of Steroids, It is especially now projected in many COVID or Post COVID Syndrome cases, which manifest as Rhinocerebral, Pulmonary or GastroIntestinal forms. This Infection needs immediate medical intervention to prevent Haematogenous spread and invasion to other vital organs, which lead to Multi-organ failure. The Medicines like Amphotericin-B and Potassium Iodide is frequently used to treat Mucormycosis, and Surgical Procedures like Maxillectomy may follow in emergency cases. Since the Medication Amphotericin -B has disadvantages of causing Nephrotoxicity, though used with the utmost care, Homoeopathic Medicines can be utilised as Alternative treatment or as an adjuvant for a speedy recovery. This article discusses Mucormycosis and its management by various Homoeopathic Medicines such as Kali Group of Remedies, Silicea, Thuja, Lycopodium, Nitric acid, etc. evidenced to have antifungal effects by various laboratory experiments and provings. Materials and Methods: The literature on Mucormycosis, its causation, treatment administered, and role of Homoeopathic Remedies like Kaligroup, Silicea, Thuja, Lycopodium, Nitric acid from available Materia Medica and Repertories and Radar Software. Conclusion: The Second Wave of the COVID Pandemic is uncontrollable due to the Mutations of the virus, its virulency, Rapid spread, lack of Public awareness, Lack of proper treatment at the Right time due to scarcity of Hospital Beds, lack of adequate Oxygen, and superadded opportunistic Infections like Mucormycosis. Homoeopathic Medications like Kaligroup remedies, Silicea, Thuja, Arsenic album, Lycopodium, Nitric acid etc. aid in the treatment of Mucormycosis without any adverse events.
