Individualized homoeopathic management of renal calculi with Lycopodium clavatum: A case report

Abstract

Background: Renal calculi are one of the most frequent and painful urological disorders. They are associated with severe flank pain, haematuria, and urinary disturbances. Conventional management often includes analgesics, hydration, lithotripsy, or surgery. Homoeopathy provides an individualised, non-invasive approach. Case Presentation: A 23-year-old female presented with burning micturition for 2 months and pain in the left flank radiating to the lumbar region. Ultrasonography confirmed left renal calculus. Based on the totality of symptoms and repertorisation, Lycopodium clavatum 1M was prescribed, followed by placebo. Outcome: After 1 month and 15 days of treatment, ultrasonography revealed removal of renal calculus with marked symptomatic relief. Conclusion: This case highlights the ef[icacy of individualised homoeopathic remedy in expelling renal calculus safely and effectively.
