The highest  prevalence rate of gastric disorders had been found  out between ages 45-50. Dyspepsia is a term used  for reduced digestion or indigestion. GERD is  referred to as condition where there is regurgitation  of stomach contents to the esophagus. Around 58.7%  of peoples are having acid regurgitation or heart burn  yearly once and 19.8% weekly once. Worldwide  functional gastrointestinal disorder are commonest  now a days, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is also  one among them having frequent pain abdomen  and altered bowel habits without any structural gut  abnormalities. Homoeopathy is a system which is  based on individualization, and has principles of  “Like cures like” and law of nature.  \u0000Materials and methods: A retrospective study had  been conducted with those patients who had attended  the gastroenterology OPD of NHRIMH, Kottayam,  Kerala, for a period of 1 year (from January 2022  to December 2022). Data had been collected from  the case records and it had been found that around  899 patients had visited for the symptoms like  nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, altered bowel  movements (diarrhea and constipation), bleeding  per rectum, dysuria and hesitancy in urination,etc  for the past 1 year. Aim of the study is to find out  the most frequent age group, diseases affected and  to know the frequently indicated remedies in treating  gastroenterology disorders.  \u0000Results: 899 patients visited in the defined period  with a highest number of patients (212) were from   \u0000the age group of 51-60, female patients were more  than male patients, 758 old patients and 141 new  patients. 214 pateints had diagnosed as gastritis which  is the highest frequency noted. The most frequently  indicated remedies were Nuxvomica in 161 patients  and Suphur in 118 patients.   \u0000Conclusion:It is concluded from the study that  gastritis is the most common condition among  patients visiting the above OPD in the defined period  and Nux vomica, Sulphur and Lycopodium were the  most common indicated and prescribed remedies.","PeriodicalId":432279,"journal":{"name":"Advancements in Homeopathic Research","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121909047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herbs account for even  more than 90% of the frequently used mother  tinctures. There is a possibility of heavy metals  transfer from herbs to the mother tincture during the  manufacturing process.   \u0000Objective: This study was conducted to find out the  transmission of heavy metals from herbs to mother  tinctures.  \u0000Material and methods: 10 herbs have been identified  based on the literature survey for the presence of  heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic and cadmium).  Samples of both herbs and the mother tinctures made  from them have been studied for the presence of  heavy metals in mg/kg.  \u0000Results & discussion: 8 out of 10 herbs were  found to contain heavy metals. However, none of  the homoeopathic mother tinctures prepared from  these herbs has any trace of the presence of heavy  metal. Even though mother tinctures are diluted 10  times and they may contain 1/10th of heavy metals  present in the herbs, we could not find even 1/10th of the heavy metal in the mother tincture. This could  be due to their insoluble nature in the solvents used.  Perhaps all the heavy metals have been retained into  the herbal residue.  \u0000Conclusion: Heavy metals present in the studied  herbs do not transport during the manufacturing  of homoeopathic mother tinctures. Thus, these  homoeopathic mother tinctures may be considered  safe with respect to heavy metals.","PeriodicalId":432279,"journal":{"name":"Advancements in Homeopathic Research","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133530543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
