The study utilized  data from diverse healthcare settings affiliated with  Sivaraj Homoeopathic Medical College and Research  Institute, Salem. Methods: A total of 30 cases meeting the inclusion  criteria, comprising both sexes aged between 30 to 75  years, diagnosed with hypertension based on clinical  parameters (systolic BP >140 mmHg, diastolic BP  >90 mmHg), and presenting common symptoms,  were included. Exclusion criteria encompassed cases  of secondary hypertension and those with incomplete  follow-ups. The efficacy of Boerhaavia diffusa  mother tincture was assessed by changes in blood  pressure recorded during the treatment period. The  study adhered to ethical guidelines, and all patients  received Boerhaavia diffusa mother tincture as part  of their therapeutic regimen. Results and Discussion: Among the 30 cases  analyzed, 6 patients exhibited marked improvement,  10 demonstrated moderate improvement, and 10  showed mild improvement, while 4 cases showed  no improvement. Notably, the majority of patients  experienced marked symptomatic relief. Despite the  positive trend observed in the outcomes, the study  has limitations, including a small sample size and  the absence of a control group. The lack of detailed information on dosage and treatment duration  further restricts the generalizability of the findings.  The retrospective nature of the analysis introduces  potential biases, and confounding factors such as  lifestyle changes were not systematically addressed. Conclusion: This retrospective case record analysis  suggests a potential beneficial effect of Boerhaavia  diffusa mother tincture in managing hypertension.  The majority of patients experienced symptomatic  relief, although caution is warranted due to study  limitations. Future research, including well-designed  randomized controlled trials with larger sample  sizes, is needed to establish the efficacy and safety  of Boerhaavia diffusa mother tincture in hypertensive  patients.","PeriodicalId":486795,"journal":{"name":"Advancements in Homeopathic Research","volume":"10 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140082854","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}

This research  contributes to our understanding of potential solutions  to the rising prevalence of this condition.Materials and Methods: 60 Male Wistar rats were divided into ten groups.  To induce alopecia, testosterone was administered  intramuscularly, excluding the normal control group.  Experimental groups received distinct treatments,  including oral homeopathic drops Zauber™ in mild,  moderate and high doses, topical treatment Zauberöl®  alone and along with ZauberTM in 3 different doses,  and a standard drug, over 28 days. Comprehensive  observations and assessments were conducted. Results and Discussion: The results of the study showed that all groups  maintained their body weights and food consumption,  but those taking Zauber™ and Zauberöl® saw  considerable hair follicle growth without severe  blood clotting or systemic toxicity, as seen by stable  organ weights. The treatment groups showed steady  haematological parameters, and sophisticated imaging  showed that Zauber™ + Zauberöl® effectively  promotes hair follicle growth and development.  Higher anagen-to-telogen ratios in treated groups,  particularly in the Zauber™ + Zauberöl® groups,  show desirable efficiency in alopecia treatment than  the standalone therapies.  Conclusion: Our study highlights the synergistic therapeutic  effects of Zauber™ and Zauberöl® in treating  testosterone-induced alopecia in rats, surpassing  stand-alone therapies.
