Chief Complaints:
34 yrs old, physician practicing general practice reported with regular attacks of Bronchial Asthma.
He gets an attack whenever he drinks beer.
He complained of chest pain along with Bronchial Asthma. The pain is in one spot and whenever he presses this spot, thick yellow expectoration comes out.
As soon as some expectoration comes out, he feels much better. Being a physician, he knows that the medicines he has been taking (modern medicine) give only partial relief.
Case Solution:
Rubrics Selected:
- Bronchial Asthma
- < Beer
- Pain in a spot
- > After expectoration
- On repertorisation, we get Kali-bi as the remedy covering all the rubrics and having maximum totality.
Treatment:
Kali bich 30 gradually increased to 200 and 1 dose of 1M cured the case
Learning:
Each time after taking a case, repertorisation may not be needed, the prescription can be done with the knowledge of Materia Medica which can be confirmed by repertorisation.
This doctor would get very anxious and worried whenever there is emergency or any acute condition. His anxiety about his health was also quite obvious so patient was prescribed kali bi.
This case demonstrates how even a surgical case like can be cured with Homoeopathy.
