What does potentization do…

Translational value The potentization process may be called backbone of ultra-high dilutions and homeopathy. Its a crucial step which is supposed to bring out the dynamic and medicinal powers into action, but at the same time  the exact changes (physico-chemical) induced by potentization (trituration and succession) remains a matter of exploration.  The team explored the … Read more

Breast cancer cells are afraid of this homeopathic drug in-vitro….

Translational value Breast cancer incidence and prevalence is on rise, so does its treatment and challenges associated with the treatment. To explore the role of homeopathy in hormone-dependent and independent breast cancer the current study explored the role of different potencies of Hydrastis (Q, 1C, 2C, 30C, 200C). Cytotoxicity of the breast cancer cells (MCF … Read more

Primary dysmenorrhea – No its not Lachesis alone!

Translational value Primary dysmenorrhoea is a common yet important clinical condition as it is connected to physical, mental and social (overall health) challenges. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was undertaken to see the effect of indicated homeopathic medicines vs placebo in the symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea in 128 females allocated in identical groups.. The patients … Read more

Iodium for Visceral Leishmaniasis

Translational value Leishmaniasis treatment is a challenge is many tropical countries, and the equal challenge is effective treatments and resistance cases. In the present study authors explored the effect of Iodum 30cH in the experimental visceral Leishmaniasis. The study model included both the therapeutic as well as prophylactic treatment of BALB/c mice infected with Leishmania … Read more

Homeopathic Potencies are not merely dilutions – they are ultra high dilutions (UHD)

Translational value Over the past decade, research using various methods has claimed the material nature, including nanoparticles (NPs), of high homeopathic potencies. The current study aims to verify these findings using Presence of Nanoparticles and tracking the Nano-particles holds and importance aspect of fundamental research in homeopathy. This study aimed to verify the presence of … Read more

Biological information Transfer: Our favourite water carries the information

Translational value The absence of original substance in highly diluted potencies has always been a matter of great debate. While there are many theories to propose the existence and presence of nano-particles, nano-structures, entropy, etc., but an equal challenge remains. “How does the medicinal properties of highly diluted substances are transferred to a biological system … Read more

Micro-nano particles of Hypericum perforatum – Homeopathy exists, even at nano-structure level

Translational value The homeopathic dilutions of Hypericum perfoatum L prepared using potentization were subjected to SEM, XRD, FTIR, DLS micro Mastersizer, DLS nano Zetasizer, UV-Vis and TEM techniques to study the physico-chemical properties. There was a clear differentiation of physicochemical properties between the source material and potentized potencies.  Micro-nanoparticles in colloidal form in all potencies … Read more

Anti-pathogenic activity of Okoubaka

Translational value Okoubaka is used in treatment and prevention of several gastrointestinal problems. This in-vitro study evaluated the action of Okoubaka mother tincture and 3x on the microbial activity of human colon microbiota and studied the preventive effect against infections with diarrhea-causing pathogens. Both Okoubaka MT and 3x were able to restrict the colonization of … Read more

Pyrogenium 12cH ointment for Myiases in Animals!

Translational value Adjuvant or add-on therapies in homeopathy are being used and well accepted since a decade now, but the use of local application as add-on is subjected to debate since long, however, there is a considerable acceptance to this concept that might be attributed to deeper understanding of diseases and the circumstances to use … Read more

Stannum met + Cress Germination = an unprecedented opportunity for basic homeopathy research

Translational value In the predecessor study the authors developed a system to assess the cress germination when Stannum met 30x was given to the plant (observing the crystallization patterns). In the present study the work goes deeper to know the specific effects of Stannum met 30x on cress germination model. The three characterisations were studied … Read more
