When immunosuppressants don’t help: A case report on homoeopathic management of systemic lupus erythematosus

Abstract

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem disorder, with symptoms affecting the skin, kidneys, joints, lungs, heart and other organs, sometimes all at once. With no particular cause, hence no specific problem to target, modern medicine manages it with immunosuppressants and steroids that come with a number of side effects. Classical homoeopathy offers promising treatment with a single medicine chosen based on all symptoms- physical and mental- that helps improve all the systems without any side effects.
