Clinical verification of individualized homoeopathic medicine Lycopodium in nephrolithiasis: A case study

Abstract

Renal calculus is a stone like body composed of urinary salts bound together by a colloid matrix of organic materials [1]. In the United states 13% of men and 7% of women will develop a kidney stone during their lifetime and the prevalence is increasing throughout the industrialized world [2]. Men are more frequently affected by renal calculus than women with a ratio of 2.5:1 [3]. This case represents a case of nephrolithiasis treated with homoeopathic remedy Lycopodium. A 33 year old female patient visited OPD on 26/10/2018. She was complaining of severe pain in lower abdomen with nausea and dull colicky pain in both renal angles. There was burning in urethra during urination. This patient improved with Lycopodium 1M, single dose.
