Abstract

120 patients aged 3 to 60 took part in an open trial from July 1995 to June 1996 at the Government Homoeopathic Hospital in Hyderabad, India. Patients suffering from rhinitis, laryngitis,brochitis or asthma all caused by allergic reactions were treated. Patients were advised to avoid the cause of allergy whenever possible. They were then treated for the acute condition followed by treatment to remove the tendency to recurrence of the disease by constitutional and anti-miasmatic treatment with drugs such as Calcarea carbonica, Thuja, Psorinum and Tuberculinum.

About 75 to 80% of cases were relieved of their symptoms within a week and Arsenicum album, Ipecacuanha, Mercurius solubilis and Kali bochromicum were the most prescribed remedies at the acute stage. In about 50 to 60% of cases there was no recurrence of symptoms for the last 6 months, following constitutional and miasmatic treatment.
