Efficacy of Constitutional Prescription in Homoeopathic Management of Psoriasis: Case Report

Altern Ther Health Med. 2023 May;29(4):280-283.

Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease which has multisystem involvement, predominantly skin and joints. It affects quality of life and leads to psychological distress in patients leading to poor self-esteem and depression, ultimately affecting interpersonal relationships. Homoeopathy believes in a holistic approach and, when prescribed on a constitutional basis, helps to cure the condition from its root cause. A diagnosed case of psoriasis in a 23-year-old male came into the Homoeopathic OPD with complaints of psoriatic patches on the face and scalp. Routine investigations were done to rule out other disorders. In this case, Sulphur was prescribed on a constitutional basis and proved to be beneficial. Considering the extent of psoriasis in this patient, the Homoeopathic approach relieved the case in a short period of time with prolonged treatment response, suggesting that this may represent the ideal cure in Homoeopathy.
