Case Study

Mrs R.R, a fifty-two-year-old woman, visited the Thane branch of Life Force Homeopathy (Patient ID: 56429) on 7th January 2025 with the main complaint of piles. She had been suffering from piles for the past 4 years, with progressive pain and discomfort in the last 6 months.

Along with her physical suffering, she carried a heavy emotional burden. Having lost her only son five years ago, she lived with guilt and grief.

Her symptoms included pain and discomfort while passing stools. Burning sensation lasting for an hour after stools. Unsatisfactory stools requiring much straining. The condition was significantly affecting her daily life. She had tried Ayurvedic kadha for 3 months without much relief. The aggravating factors were eating spicy food and pain increased while passing stool.

Falling into a deep valley from a great height.

Wakes up frightened.

Dr. Shah studied not just the piles symptoms, but also her associated conditions (hypothyroidism, post-hysterectomy history) and her deep-rooted emotional state.

He carefully noted her dreams, fears, grief, and guilt, as these formed the core of her constitutional picture with individualized Prescription:
