Background: One of India's biggest public health issues is malaria. Malaria is frequently linked to poverty, but it also contributes to it and hinders economic growth. The risk affects approximately half of the world's population (3.3 billion), making it the sixth largest cause of mortality globally. Objectives: The study's goal was to determine the function of a set of predetermined homoeopathic medications in the treatment of malaria. Methods: Out of 180 assessed cases, 36 individuals in all were enrolled. The research included patients who had the typical clinical signs and symptoms of malaria and had tested positive for the malaria parasite in a blood test. Based on typical malaria symptoms, experimental medications were chosen from the mainstream homoeopathic literature. Using a student t test calculator online, statistical analysis was performed. p value less than 0.05 recognized as a significant. Results: Of 36 individuals who tested positive for malaria, the majority (41.66%) had temperatures over 102°F. Just 8 patients had palpable spleens. (22.22%) In 21 individuals, mild body & muscular aches were detected. (58.33%). 22 individuals had mild fatigue and moderate sweating. ( 20) and (61.11%), respectively. Thirteen individuals (36%) reported experiencing nausea and vomiting. The mean MSS score at the beginning of the treatment was 12.2±1.6, and at the conclusion it was 6.9±3.4 (p 0.05). ESR value decreased as well and results were statistically significant. According to indications, the most often given medications were arsenic album (n=12, 33.33%),

Abstract. In Kenya malaria is the leading cause for illness and death; homeopathy is used for many years to treat this disease. A previous study in Ghana in 1996, showed comparable effects of homeopathy and chloroquine. Methods: In three studies we documented homeopathic treatment in a retrospective qualitative study, a prospective single arm study, and a comparison between one cohort receiving homeopathic treatment and the other artemether. Results: In the qualitative retrospective study (2014) (n=54), we related typical malaria and individual symptoms, with remedy prescriptions and affected organs. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed, that specific remedies were prescribed for patterns of affected organs . In the prospective study (2014) (n=70), the primary outcome was the parasitological status at the first follow up (median 8 days), secondary outcome was the quality of life measure with Outcome Related to Impact on Daily Life. In the third study, of the group (n=79) (b) exposed to homeopathy, n=6 (a) were still parasite-positive after one week, in the control (co-artem) group of n=35 (c) no patient was positive (d). The odds ratio was 5.8068 (95% CI 0.3183 – 105.8794), with z = 1.187 and P = 0.2352. The difference was not statistically significant; homeopathic remedies and coartem tablets had similar effect for uncomplicated malaria in that region. Co-morbidity was treated with different remedies. Conclusion: Homeopathic treatment can be used as a valuable option, also when other treatments are ineffective by microbial resistance, not indicated (as in pregnancy) and financially not affordable. Key words: malaria, homeopathy, artemether, comparative study, cohort study, plasmodium, ORIDL
