A clinical case of oral leucoplakia managed with Mercurius solubilis: A homoeopathic perspective

Abstract

Leucoplakia is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a white patch that cannot be characterized clinically or pathologically as any other disease. It represents the most common potentially malignant disorder of the oral mucosa, often associated with chronic irritants such as tobacco and alcohol. This case report presents the homoeopathic management of a 31-year-old male with a white patch on the right buccal mucosa diagnosed as leucoplakia. The case was evaluated using the Hahnemannian method, emphasizing totality of symptoms and Miasmatic background. Mercurius solubilis, selected on individualized basis, produced marked clinical improvement, demonstrating the efficacy of the homoeopathic approach in oral precancerous lesions.
