Evaluating Homoeopathic Constitutional Medicine And Syzygium Jambolinum In Type-2 Diabetes: A Comparative Study

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is currently prevalent in developing countries, with a rising incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This metabolic disorder is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to insufficient insulin secretion, impaired insulin action, or insulin resistance. Homeopathy offers a holistic approach to managing diabetes by considering individual constitution and symptoms, with a focus on improving overall health. To effectively address the rising incidence of diabetes in developing nations, it is essential to integrate various healthcare approaches, including homeopathy, alongside broader public health initiatives and education on diabetes prevention and management. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of constitutional homeopathic medicine with a specific remedy, Syzygium jambolanum 200, in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, a condition increasingly common in developing nations. Ten diabetes mellitus cases were selected based on specific criteria, and their information was recorded using a standardized case format. Upon symptom analysis, homeopathic remedies such as Acidum phosphoricum, Nux vomica, Lycopodium, and Sulphur was frequently prescribed. The study concluded that constitutional homeopathic treatments were more effective for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus than Syzygium jambolanum 200. This underscores the importance of using constitutional homeopathic remedies in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
