Role of Homeopathy in Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs)
Prof. Dr. Poonam Singh, Dr. Pranesh Kumar Singh
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer, represent a significant global health burden requiring long-term, multi-faceted management. This article explores the role of homeopathy as a holistic and adjunctive therapeutic approach within the NCD framework. Grounded in the principles of individualization and vitalism, homeopathy seeks to address the underlying susceptibility of the patient rather than merely suppressing physical symptoms. In clinical practice, homeopathy serves as a supportive bridge, particularly in enhancing the Quality of Life (QoL) and managing the side effects of conventional treatments. In diabetes, remedies like Syzygium jambolanum are used for glycemic support, while hypertension management focuses on the psychosomatic triggers through remedies like Natrum muriaticum. Furthermore, in oncology, homeopathy is strictly adjunctive, utilized to mitigate the exhaustion and physical inflammation associated with chemotherapy and radiation.
