Homeopathy to play vital role in Mucormycosis cure

Homeopathy can play a very important role in fighting Mucormycosis effectively. At least that's what a recent homeopathy medical protocol issued by the Union Ministry of Ayush, suggests. "Homeopathy can play a very important role in fighting Mucormycosis effectively, like it does in case of many other diseases. Every Covid patient must intake proper, balanced diet, practice physical exercises like Yoga and medication to improve immunity. Timely intervention through classical Homeopathy medicines and hospitalisation can help patient's combat death. Homeopathy does not have same medicines for the same disease/health condition, most of it is determined through symptomatic treatment but it is advised that the patient must consult a classical homeopath," said Dr Samit Ghosh, of National Institute of Homeopathy.

Dr Ghosh said, "Mucormycosis or the dreaded Black Fungus is a potentially dangerous condition which spreads from Mucor fungus and can always be found in our surroundings but does not spread in our bodies because of our immunity usually shield us from the dangerous effects. But since the second surge of Covid-19 we are losing many lives across India due to Mucormycosis. Though it is not yet certain the reason for the spread of Mucormycosis but primarily those with diabetes, cancer or those who have consumed strong drugs against Covid- 19 virus and have compromised immunity are more susceptible to Mucormycosis."

Mucormycosis is usually accompanied by pain, swelling and reddish skin around the eyes and the nose, fever, cough, headache, cold, vomiting with blood, mood swings. And to combat this, the Union Ministry of Ayush has issued this homeopathy Medical Protocol. The protocol says that the patients need to take three medicines at the regular intervals, Arsenic album 200- 4 globules twice daily for three days followed by Thuja -Occidentalis 1 M 4 globules after seven days once after which another seven days later Tuberculinum 1M 4 globules once.

Apart from the mentioned protocol, medicines as Aurum Metallicum , Mercurius Solubilis, Kali Bichromicum , SulphurIodatum, Acid Benzoicum, Sulphur, Phosphorus, Echinacea may be used based on symptoms of the patients. But above all, immunity must be increased, said Dr Ghosh.

He said that in certain cases of similar symptoms amongst a large number of patients helped homeopaths determine a treatment protocol of administering similar medicines and they worked very well on them. Like in the case of Covid, Aresnic album or Bryonia worked wonders. Apart from this In-vitro model has been widely investigated and researched and it has been found out that homeopathy medicines have effectively worked against the growth of different forms of fungus ad clinical studies have shown efficacy of homeopathy drugs against these. Dr. Ghosh is the Co-founder of HRID, which is a one-of-a-kind End to End Holistic Digital Healthcare Platform to provide Complete Alternative Holistic Healthcare Services. At HRID he is trying to give a scientific protocol based approach to alternative healthcare services which is a need of the hour. With more than 32 years of experience in classical homeopathy, Dr Ghosh has also been instrumental in carrying out science movement in West Bengal as the Secretary of Paschim Banga Vigyan Mancha.
