Homeopathy dealing with epidemic diseases after earthquake in Nepal

Homeo-prophylaxis began with Hahnemann. Since Hahnemann's time, especially after 2 epidemics he treated successfully in his homeopathic way with a selective number of remedies, homeopathy has a very remarkable record in the treatment of epidemics. Homeopathy has been proven to be helpful, during epidemics, to patients suffering from scarlet fever, yellow fever, typhus fever, cholera, influenza, hepatitis, dengue, leptospirosis and encephalitis.

On the 25^th April 2015, Nepal experienced a major earthquake whith 7.9 on the Richter scale. Apart from dealing with injured and dead people, the prevention of epidemics and successful treatment of victims of severe diarrhea, cholera, typhus, measles and viral fever was our main challenge. As a president of Nepal Red Cross Society, Nawadurga Subchapter, Bhaktapur, I was responsible for about 50 thousand people. With the help of a quickly formed team of volunteers, we conducted trainings concerning general measures of hygiene in every camp. I treated 6 cases of severe diarrhea, which were all reported to the government authority. The main remedies were merc., ars., cham., acon., without the use of chemical drugs. None of my patients died. I believe, therefore, by the means of effective homeopathic treatment of severely traumatised people, an important role concerning epidemic prevention was realized.

In other camps there were 22 cholera-like diarrhea cases, of which they all had to be treated in hospital over 2 – 5 days.

Homeopathic prophylaxis is based on understanding the nature of the infectious disease, constitution of the patient and the method of proving remedies in the healthy.
