Approximately 25% of the populations between the ages 40 to 50 have shown evidence of a disc prolapse / herniation on MRI scan, most of which were asymptomatic at the time. The diagnosis of disc herniation is therefore a clinical one, relying mainly on the history of pain and neurological abnormalities the age group most commonly affected is adults aged 25-45 years with the male-to-female ratio approximately

Homoeopathic medicines are very effective in treating Disc prolapse, in my study I could get good results with only homoeopathic medicines. Work absence has drastically come down in effected people.

Psychological Illnesses & Homoeopathy

Homoeopathic medicines have a good say in various psychological illnesses, what with the incidence of these problems increasing day by day. Most of the precipitating causes contributing to these problems are upcoming examination tension, a new job, loss of job, marriage, and divorce, financial & family problems. Apart from these are some health problems which are quite complicated to be tackled by conventional system of medicine. In such cases, homoeopathic medicines can solve the problem if the treatment is planned in a systematic way with good case taking.

Bed side teaching Importance in Homoeopathic Colleges

Teaching at the bedside is defined as “Teaching in the presence of the patient”, and this applies to any situation where the teaching occurs in the presence of the patient. It is an active learning process with a limited group of learners, and permits evaluation of all three domains. It Bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical reality in addition to fostering the qualities of scientific thought (observation, problem solving and decision making). As the numbers in admission are coming down year by year owing to the poor quality of clinical teaching with poor patients strength, clinical teaching is a must for learning practical skills in prescription and following up of cases.

Majority of homoeopathic hospitals are facing decreased admission strength as there is no special care for in-patients compared to that received by the out-patients. It becomes difficult to demonstrate a good clinical case (successfully homeopathically treated case). This is a vicious cycle. Many Administrators many not agree on this viewpoint. But the only way to increase the conviction in the homoeopathic system is to break this vicious cycle.
