Overview
Brief Summary
Allergic rhinitis is known to be a major cause of difficulty and disability especially affecting children. It is reported to affect approximately 25 & 40% of children and adult globally, respectively.
In conventional system of medicine, they usually give anti- allergic or anti- inflammatory medicines but side effects of these medicines are drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, blurred vision, dry mouth; gives only short relief of the symptoms.
On the other hand, Homoeopathy treats the patient as a whole individual; where Similimum is administered on individuality, in minimum dose. Homoeopathic medicines can be effective as it can annihilate the disease condition of an individual as well as their tendency of recurrence.
I intend to carry out study, efficacy of homoeopathic medicines will be selected on basis of the essential synthesis repertory by Dr.Frederik Schroyens in cases with allergic rhinitis in children.
Homoeopathic philosophy teaches the reason for diseases in an entirely different way than of other system of medicines.
Further, I intend to construct especially design repertory “ Repertory of Causative factor and Modalities†as a reference book from Allen’s keynotes and characteristics of the materia medica by Dr.H.C.Allen(10th edition). as this keynotes are very useful in practice and for students but there is no such repertory available which has exclusively rubrics formed using it and that too including causative factors and modalities. This repertorial data in my opinion would serve a great deal in choice of remedy for practitioners using Allen’s keynotes.
Especially design repertory, use as a reference it will be arrange in alphabetical order and gradations and the importance of each symptom in every medicine described in Allen’s keynotes and characteristics of the materia medica. (10th edition).
