“…(Figure 4) At the end of the study follow-up, it was observed that 91% of the patients reported either being cured or experiencing significant improvement in their condition. This suggests a positive role for homeopathy in the management of acute tracheobronchitis [5] . In this study of 30 cases, 21 patients were prescribed with Bryonia alba in 200C potency.…”

Homoeopathy not only offers short-term relief for acute respiratory illnesses like bronchitis and rhinitis, but it also effectively addresses predispositions and helps prevent future episodes of these and other health issues. This study is conducted by selecting 30 participants from the outpatient and inpatient departments of Sarada Krishna Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital who were suffering with acute illnesses. The symptoms were recorded and Bryonia alba was prescribed to them according to their acute totality. Among the thirty cases participants between the age group of 1 to 10 years and 41 to 50 years were predominantly affected, females were more prone to the acute illness. The cause for the acute malady was most commonly drenching in rain and were predominantly diagnosed with acute bronchitis. Bryonia alba 200C was the frequently used potency. Hence this study demonstrated the usefulness of Bryonia alba in treating patients with acute illnesses.

Background: Substance abuse has become a widespread global issue. It includes abuse of illegal substances, namely marijuana, heroin, cocaine and methamphetamines, and legal substances, including alcohol, nicotine or prescribed medicines. Aim of Review: This review assesses the role of Homoeopathy in the therapeutic management of substance use disorders (SUD) through a systematic web-based literature search. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted online and manually to identify homoeopathic research studies published between 1993 and 2022 on SUD in international databases and the Central Council of Research in Homoeopathy library. Relevant studies were categorised and assessed in terms of study designs, number of participants, evidence grades and clinical outcome parameters. A total of 21 full-text studies were screened and evaluated. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed for all studies and model validity was appraised for the included RCTs'. Results: 10 studies (3 Randomised Controlled Trials, 3 Observational studies, 1 Pilot study, 1 observational comparative study, 1 Retrospective cohort study and 1 case series) were included and 11 studies were excluded with reasons. 03 studies have a level of evidence of 1b with an 'A' grade of recommendation, which consists of the RCTs only. The most commonly prescribed medicines identified were: Arsenic album, Nux vomica, Lycopodium, Pulsatilla, Sulphur, Staphysagria, Belladonna, Ipecac, Chamomilla, Rhustox, Phosphorus and Lachesis. A high risk of bias was elicited in most of the observational studies accentuating the need for more robust methodological studies. Conclusion: The majority of the studies have a small number of recruitments. Pragmatic studies with larger sample sizes and validated outcome measures may be designed further to validate the promising role of homoeopathic medicines in SUDs and generate quality evidence.

“…The entire illness lasts for nearly 2 weeks and sometimes more than 3 weeks. Early diagnosis of bronchitis is important for early treatment and recovery [19] . If untreated, the condition is likely to lead to damaged airways, and can progress to pneumonia and chronic bronchitis and may be a precursor to bronchiectasis [17] .…”

This study was aimed to determine which scale (centesimal or 50 millesimal) is more effective in the management of acute bronchitis in the age group of 1 to 15 yrs and also to assess the efficacy of different potencies in two scales. Methodology:The selection of 60 cases of 1 to 15 yrs of age group suffering from acute bronchitis from the outpatient / inpatient and rural centers of Sarada Krishna HMC. The patients were included into 2 groups, each with 30 patients. For group-I, indicated medicines were administered in centesimal (30, 200, 1M……) potencies. For group-II, indicated medicines were administered in 50 millesimal (0/3, 0/6, 0/9, 0/12 ……) potencies. The cases were confirmed based on clinical symptoms and followed up for 3 weeks. Observation score before treatment were compared with the scores of after treatment and to find out the effectiveness of both centesimal scale potency and fifty millesimal scale potencies, paired t test was done separately and for comparison between centesimal potency and fifty millesimal scale potencies unpaired 't' test was applied. Result: Among 30 cases in centesimal scale potencies, 13 (43%) patients with marked improvement; 16 (54%) with moderate improvement and 1 (3%) had mild improvement. In the 30 cases with 50 millesimal scale potencies, 2 (6.67%) patients had marked improvement; 15 (50%) with moderate improvement and 13 (43%) with mild improvement. In analysis, the calculated t value (9.36) is greater than the tabled t value (2.048) at 5% level of significance with n-2 degrees of freedom, which suggests that the test is significant statistically. This shows that centesimal scale potencies was found to be more effective than 50 millesimal scale potencies in the management of acute bronchitis in this age group of 1 to 15 yrs.
