A case study of angioedema disease with homoeopathic treatment according to individualistic approach

Abstract

Angioedema is non-pitting edema which affects the face, lips, neck, and extremities as well as the oral cavity, larynx, and/or stomach. It can also involve subcutaneous and/or submucosal layers of tissue. The larynx is involved, at which point it becomes potentially fatal. Bradykinin and histamine are the two mediators that cause angioedema in the majority of cases. Wheals are a symptom of urticaria that can accompany angioedema, and this type is usually allergic. Several homoeopathic treatments for edema are available based on the entirety of the patient's symptoms. In the present study, individualistic approach has been adopted for the treatment of angioedema and report has been published.
