Introduction to Cardiac Asthma and Homeopathy

Cardiac asthma, also known as congestive heart failure asthma, is a condition characterized by breathing difficulties that are symptoms of acute left-sided heart failure. While conventional medicine offers various treatments, homeopathy provides a natural and individualized approach. This article explores the case of a 15-year-old girl treated with homeopathic remedies and her successful journey.

Understanding Homeopathic Treatment for Cardiac Asthma

Homeopathic treatments for cardiac asthma focus on addressing symptoms through individualized remedies. A qualified homeopath is essential for personalized treatment plans. It is important to integrate homeopathic approaches with conventional medical care for optimal results.

A Case Study: Jhuma D.

Jhuma D., a 15-year-old girl, presented with breathing difficulties, occasional sneezing, and nonspecific chest pain. After being treated by multiple physicians, including a hospital doctor, she decided to try homeopathy. Her history and examination provided significant insights into her condition and guided the course of treatment.

Medical History and Symptoms

Two months of breathing difficulty with no prior diagnosis. Ear drops to relieve colds. Occasional sneezing, runny nose, itching, headache, and fever. Nonspecific chest pain. Constipation and irregular bowel movements. Leucorrhea aggravated by cold weather and relieved by lying on her side with feet crossed.

Family and Personal History

Her mother had heart-related issues (myocardial infarction). She conceived and delivered within one year. Vomiting and leg pain during pregnancy with skin reactions and cravings for uncooked rice. Delivered at a hospital with a normal birth weight, a sunken umbilicus, and a non-reactive BCG vaccine. Had measles at 13 years of age and a rat bite 4-6 months back.

Physical Examination and Laboratory Results

Thin height, enlarged thyroid, and nasal discharge to the left. Valvular heart disease with mitral valve prolapse, floppy valve syndrome, and mild to moderate MR with mild AR. Mildly enlarged left atrium with good biventricular systolic function and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 65. RA factor - 58 IU/ml, ASO - 176 IU/ml. Abnormalities noted in the urinalysis, sweat test, and vital signs.

Homeopathic Treatment and Progress

The first prescription was given on 15-13-2018 with Acidum Nitricum 1/002 as per Organon of the Art of Healing. The case history revealed pregnancy history, craving for salt, aversion to sweets, and a chilly sensation, indicating a syphilitic miasma.

The second prescription on 18-13-2028 improved respiratory difficulties, though the heart was still feeble with a pulse of 132 beats per minute. The temperature was 97. The patient occasionally had to sit up during sleep. Treatment continued with the previous medicine.

Further progress was observed on 10-01-2019 with an improvement in weight to 475 kg and blood pressure to 100/70. Syphilinum 0/1-2 was prescribed, along with emergency medicine Acid Nit 0/3 as per the homeopathic principles.

Subsequent treatments and adjustments continued, leading to the resolution of breathing difficulties and normalization of physical signs. Echocardiography on 25-07-2019 showed no pathology, leading to a final prescription of Syphilinum 0/12-14, taken once daily.
