A female patient, working in an administrative department of a private school, Mrs. S.K (Patient ID: 54921) visited Life Force Homeopathy, Paud Road branch, Pune, on 03-07-2024, through a reference of her relative, for the treatment of her complaints of chronic acidity, which she was suffering from 2019. She presented with the following complaints: bland eructations, abdominal pain in the epigastric region radiating to the back, headache, and mild retrosternal burning. The frequency of the acidity episodes was 2-3 times a day, and the severity was moderate. According to the patient, she ate 5-6 idlis 4 years ago, after which she started having eructations, and it eventually ended up with frequent acidity episodes.
A little stress would trigger her acidity problem. Consuming certain food items, such as dry foods, would trouble her.
She had taken antacids on an SOS basis for the last 3 years and also taken homeopathic treatment from a local doctor in the past, but there was no relief.
Family history: Both her sister and mother had a thyroid disorder, and her father was no more. There was no history of acidity or gastric-related complaints in her family.
Physical generals:
She was a vegetarian by diet, and she had an average appetite and thirst, but her eating time was irregular. She had an inclination towards having sweets and spicy foods in her diet. She did not have addictions of any kind. She did not perspire much. She used to have disturbed sleep 1-2 times in a month. Her bowel and bladder habits were normal.
She had a very happy childhood, where she had a cordial relationship with her parents. After schooling, she was comfortable in life with her occupation, and her married life was also good.
Mental generals:
She was a very confident individual who spoke precisely. By nature, she was a mild, gentle, and affectionate person. Patient liked to socialize a lot, and used to gel easily with people. She was always worried about her husband and was frustrated due to her eructations. After a thorough review of the patient’s narration and after studying the case in detail, Dr. Rajesh Shah prescribed homeopathic medicines for a period of six weeks.
Follow-Ups:
At the first follow-up, on 31/8/2024, there was not much change in the frequency and duration of the acidity episodes. The medicines were prescribed to the patient again based on the status for another 6 weeks.
By the time of her second follow-up, on 18-10-2024, the patient felt a sense of general well-being, and she started experiencing very good relief in the intensity of symptoms. All the complaints were reduced, and eructations, epigastric pain, headaches, and retrosternal burning were all reduced. The patient had requested the same batch of medicine only since it has helped her.
In the third follow-up, on 11-01-2025, the patient was having some stress at work, so her acidity had increased, but it was less intense than earlier. The case was reviewed, and the homeopathic medicines were prescribed again to the patient for 6 weeks.
By the fourth follow-up, on 23-02-2025, the patient was 80% better with her acidity complaints.
It’s just been 6 months & the patient is having 80% relief from her 3 years of long-standing acidity.
The patient is very happy with the relief attained so far with the treatment and is very confident that she is going to get rid of chronic acidity for once and all.
Conclusion:
This case shows how effective is in treating the digestive issues; the treatment was holistic, considering mental and physical health factors. Homeopathy addressed the root cause of acidity rather than just treating symptoms, so it helped in maintaining long-term digestive health.
