Initiative to Promote Research in Homeopathy
Passion, Research, Dissemination
Translational value Dilutions and homeopathic dilutions may seem similar to a layman, but these are entirely different from a homeopathic and scientific point of view. The debate is decades old, and so is the research! In this study concluded in 1996, Dittman J and Harisch G undertook a series of experiments on cytochrome P450 2E1 … Read more
Translational value Apis mellifica and Histaminum have long been used in allergic disorders based on their clear symptomatology. It was 37 years back when B. Poitevin, E. Davenas, and J. Benveniste conducted the in vitro experiment for basophil degranulations with Apis and Histaminum. The experiments were blinded, and the basophil degranulation induced by anti-IgE was … Read more
Translational value Nanoparticles and related research have always been an interesting domain of inquiry in homeopathy and ultrahigh dilutions (UHD). In this study, Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) was used to study the material nature of NPs in UHD. Six medicines in various dilutions were studied (Gelsemium, Pyrogenium, Kalium mur, Cuprum, Argentum, and Silicea). The NPs were studied for size, … Read more
Translational value The information transfer and changes in the physicochemical aspects of ultrahigh dilutions (UHDs) have always been a challenging question. This study explores the transmission of physicochemical changes of three high dilutions of Arnica, viz., 6cH, 30cH, and 200cH. Medicines were prepared and placed in the receiver solutions in a contained manner, and the … Read more
Translational value Addiction is not only an obstinate habit, but it also affects all domains of health—physical, social, and mental well-being. The study explored the integrative approach using ultrahigh dilutions (UHDs) as isotherapic and organotherapic therapy in rats subjected to opioid addiction (morphine) using the MORPH conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm. The UHDs could restore … Read more
Translational value Lycopodium clavatum has varied uses both for physical as well as mental symptoms. In a quest to observe the application of Lyco for memory impairment, the study subjected rats with induced memory impairment. The Lyco was used in Mother Tincture, 30, 200, and 1000 for 17 days, and the rats were evaluated by … Read more
Translational value Heat stress is a major, on-field challenge for the germination process. In this study, authors explored the possibility of Cantharis in alleviating the heat stress in germinating seeds of cowpea. Cantharis, a clinically proven remedy, has been used in humans in various cases of burns; in this study, it was used at 200c … Read more
Translational value Potentization affects and induce various physico-chemical changes in the ultra high dilutions. The vibrational spectroscopy has the capability to provide information regarding changes in the hydrogen bonding and electrical properties induced due potentization. In this study two homeopathic medicines Chininum purum and Acidum benzoicum were studied using Raman spectroscopy. It was observed that potentization affected the intensity … Read more
Translational value The fundamental identity of homeopathic potencies at fundamental research level is a huge challenge. In several studies it has been shown that the homeopathic potencies interact with a range of solvatochromic dyes to produce spectroscopic changes in the visible region. The present study aimed to study the dye-potency interaction, and it was seen … Read more
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
