Homeopathic medicine as a prophylaxis in today’s era

ABSTRACT

t is proven that Homeopathic medicine has dynamic power to boost host’s immunity when we prescribe as a prophylaxis in a pandemic era. The preventive aspect of homoeopathy is well known, and Historically Homoeopathy has repeatedly been used for prevention during the epidemics of cholera, Japanese encephalitis, Leptospirosis, Spanish Flu, yellow fever, scarlet fever, Diphtheria, typhoid etc. The success in those infectious epidemic diseases adds homoeopathy as an adjuvant to the standard of care in management of COVID 19. There are many evidences that suggest homoeopathy can be effective in the fight against the pandemic. The basic core of cure of homoeopathy is that a medicine that produces a set of symptoms when given to a healthy person under controlled settings can be prescribed in a highly diluted form to a disease person with those similar symptoms. This is what is known as Similia Similibus Curentur in Latin phrase that means like cures like.
