A clinical study on the efficacy of Individualized constitutional medicine in cases of Urticaria along with miasmatic study

Urticaria (’nettle rash’, ’hives’) presents with short-lived, itchy wheals which may be pale or pink in the centre, surrounded by a red flare. Individual lesions are round, oval or figurate and are often pruritic. It is a recurring skin disease. While treating cases which occurs frequently Master Hahnemann investigated about 12 years for the cause lurking behind recurring diseases and found Miasm to be the cause. According to Dr. Hahnemann, there are three primary causes of diseases: Psora, Syphilis and Sycosis. In any given patient, there could be the influence of one miasm, or any combination of them. An accurate miasmatic diagnosis depends on individual symptoms of the patient. These miasm develop due to many reasons in mental as well as physical plane. So, a instrument like anti-miasmatic medicines are required to root out these miasms.

Anti-miasmatic medicines help to clear up the suppressions (in relation to the past); clear up the presenting symptoms from their root or origin (in relation to the present); and clear up the susceptibility to get infection and there by strengthening the constitution (in relation to the prophylactic aspect of future).

At R.B.T.S. Government Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, a significant number of patients presents with urticaria. While various studies have explored the treatment of urticaria with homoeopathic medicines, there is a notable lack of research specifically focusing on the individualized constitutional approach in relation to miasmatic analysis. This gap in research has inspired me to pursue a study on this topic.
