The drug is used in  different forms, leading to intoxication, acute and  long-term consequences. About 2.8% of Indians  aged 10-75 years are current users of any cannabis  product. Withdrawal from the drug use requires  medical intervention and counselling.  \u0000Objectives: To identify existing evidence in  homoeopathy on drug deaddiction and cannabis use  disorder and to update the physicians on diagnosis,  risk behaviours, treatment and investigations  associated with cannabis use disorder.  \u0000Methods: A review of existing literature was  conducted through internet sources and the CCRH  headquarters library using keywords i.e. substance  use, substance abuse, marijuana, cannabis abuse,  drug abuse, cannabis use disorder etc. Data from  studies reporting drug abuse to identify the type of  drug use and homoeopathic treatment response in the  withdrawal and long-term management and treatment  of drug dependents was tabulated.  \u0000Results: Although some studies have been conducted  on drug withdrawal, no studies have been conducted  on cannabis use disorder. More case studies and  research on treatment of cannabis use disorder using  Homoeopathy are needed.   \u0000Interpretation: Physicians need to update  themselves on diagnosis, risk behaviours, treatment  and investigations to counter the condition and  contribute to generating evidence-based literature on  the homoeopathic approach for treating cannabis use  disorder. ","PeriodicalId":432279,"journal":{"name":"Advancements in Homeopathic Research","volume":"221 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115786285","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}

It  is an accumulation of pus behind the palatine tonsil  due to an infection. Precisely, it is a collection of pus  between the fibrous capsule of the tonsil, usually at  the upper pole & the superior constrictor muscles of  pharynx. The signs & symptoms of quinsy include  fever, throat pain, trouble in opening mouth, redness,  swelling and change in the voice. Pain is usually  worse on one side. The complications may include  blockage of the airway or aspiration pneumonitis.  The conventional treatment is done for removing the  pus by incision & drainage along with medications  for swelling & pain management. The homeopathic  line of treatment depends on the actual state of the  condition. Homeopathic medicines can be used  in mild to moderate cases of peritonsillar abscess  successfully as see through this research study. In  this study, 46 cases of peritonsillar abscess of age  group between 5 to 80 years were included. After  going through the results, it is observed that the  peritonsillar abscess can be treated successfully by  Homoeopathy. The scope of Homoeopathy in the  treatment of peritonsillar abscess is excellent and  shows high success rate of 44 out of 46 patients  responding successfully to the Homoeopathic  treatment with no signs of recurrence in near future.  The outstanding Homoeopathic remedies in the  treatment of peritonsillar abscess were found to  be mostly Hepar Sulph & Merc Sol along with  Calc Carb, Baryta Carb and Phytolacca. All that is  required in the treatment of peritonsillar abscess is  quick selection of right remedy and right dose for  the instant relief rationally. Hence we can rightly  claim that by proper Homoeopathic treatment we  can make the world better for the future generation.  This research paper will certainly help the health  professionals to overcome such problems of surgical  cases and consider the benefits of the facts in scope  of Homoeopathy in peritonsillar abscess. ","PeriodicalId":432279,"journal":{"name":"Advancements in Homeopathic Research","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126468054","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}

Microbiota  is a term used for eukaryotic and prokaryotic  microorganisms. In case of infected persons, it  can produce symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting,  nausea, flatulency, pain abdomen, inflammation of  intestine, etc. The most common presentations of  Gastro intestinal disorders are heart burn, nausea and  vomiting, dysphagia, indigestion, chronic recurrent  pain abdomen, flatulency, belching, loss of weight,  etc. Homoeopathy is a system where symptom  similiarity and individualization is considered in  remedy selection.The vulnerability and frequency  of disease will decrease when medicine prescribed  is based on individualization. This is a retrospective  study analyzing the previous case history to assess  the efficacy of homoeopathy in gastrointestinal  disorders.  \u0000Materials and Methods: Case records of 261  patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal disorders  with symptoms like pain abdomen, nausea, vomiting,  heart burn, flatulence, diarrhea, bleeding per rectum,  dysuria, hesitancy in urine etc. who had visited OPD  of NHRIMH Kottayam Kerala from January 2022  to May 2022 (5 months) had been retrospectively  analyzed to find out the most common gastrointestinal  disorders and frequently indicated useful remedies in  managing the patient.   \u0000Results and Discussion  \u0000It has been found that in our study maximum affection  is in the age group of 51-60 and least in the age group  of 91-100.

Bleeding and prolapse  are the cardinal symptoms of haemorrhoids. Pain,  mucus discharge and Itching, are the other most  common complaints from the patients. This leads to  reduced work efficiency, quality of life and increased  financial burden on the patients. Homoeopathy is  reported to have a significant role in haemorrhoids in  both classical literature and recent studies. However,  its efficacy in the South Indian population has not yet  been reported. Thus, an effort has been made to find  out the effectiveness of Homoeopathic treatment in  haemorrhoids.   \u0000Methods  \u0000In this prospective, observational study, conducted  at Fr. Muller's Homoeopathic Medical College and  Hospital, Mangalore during the year 2002-2003, on  patients of age groups between 20-75 years, based  on their clinical presentation such as bleeding, pain,  discharge, itching and examination. They were  treated with homoeopathic medicines, using disease  intensity scores as a parameter. This study protocol  was approved by the Institutional ethical committee  of Fr. Muller's Homoeopathic Medical College and  Hospital, Mangalore and consent was obtained from  the participants. All the patients were followed for a  minimum period of 3 months.   \u0000Results and Discussion  \u0000A total of 30 patients were enrolled and analyzed  for the study. After treatment significant change  is found in bleeding, pain, pruritus ani, and mucus  discharge per rectum of the patients. However, no  change is found in Prolapse. Symptoms were graded ranging from 0-3 depending upon the severity of the  complaint. The sum of these grades were considered  before and after treatment for the patients. Most  frequently used medicines were Sulphur (n = 6),  Lycopodium (n = 5), Natrum mur (n = 4), Pulsatilla (n = 3) and Nux vomica (n = 3).
