My Perspective on Corona Virus & Homoeopathy

#CoronaVirus #Homoeopathy #HomoeopathyForCoronaVirus #Perspectives #MyPerspective


There is already a lot of information available on corona virus & homoeopathy though what I feel that authentic information is still very less to get easily accessible. Yes, it is sure thing that we need to be cautious & I suppose that will be enough for now. There is no need to be panic neither it is going to help us anyhow.

Let us understand what is corona virus, what it is capable to do, how much it is spread till now, what everyone can do? & what homoeopath has to offer?

1)   What is corona virus?
Ø Coronaviruses are large family of viruses which are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people.
Ø Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans.
Ø Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.
Ø A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.

2)   What it is capable to do?
Ø It causes illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV).
Ø Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, and cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.

3)   How much it is spread till now?
Ø Till 31st Jan 2020 Globally 9826 confirmed cases.
Ø Total 19 countries are affected amongst which China have 9720 confirmed, 15238 suspected, 1527 severe, 213 deaths
Ø Outside of China 106 confirmed cases.
Ø As per WHO RISK ASSESSMENT China is having Very High risk and at Regional Level as well as Global Level the risk is High.



4)   What everyone can do?
Ø Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs.
Ø Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.

5)   What homoeopath has to offer?
Ø As for homoeopath signs and symptoms are more valuable than diagnosis, homoeopath can offer preventive medicines as per the presenting signs and symptoms.
Ø As far as we are aware cough, fever, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties are the presenting signs and symptoms.
Ø Now, It is understandable that type of cough, pattern of fever, modalities are not yet clear even though they are crucial for homoeopathic prescribing, hence medicine to be prescribed can be varied accordingly. This is why consultation is very much important and self medication is not at all advisable.
Ø Somehow, we can try to work on available common symptoms and suggest group of medicines from our knowledge and experience i.e. Rhus Tox, Gels & Ars. Which may be the indicated one?
Ø Anyhow, differentiation of medicines as per signs and symptoms is the most important thing and we can’t prescribe medicines just because we have it!
