Mrs. G.S (pt Ref. No. PS – 303) a 36 years old female came with his husband with prescription paper of dermatologist to my clinic. She was suffering from the psoriasis since 6 years. Now she was fed up with Allopathic treatment. The complaints had increased since 1 month. She had extensive scaling lesions started from the ear to elbow to leg – up to thigh. There was intense itching which would be worse during winters and during the night time. She had taken allopathic as well as Homoeopathic treatment in the past for a long time but did not benefit much from these.

The patient was of an average built with an average appetite. she liked Spicy, Sour test. She would sweat profusely especially on the face with offensive odor & stain. Sleep was sound with lots of dreams of Accident, Frightful, Death of Family members, Snakes etc. that were mostly unremembered.

Patient is coming from the middle class nuclear family. She had good relation with every one in childhood. She was average in study but likes to participate in programmed. She likes knitting. She did marriage with Mr. at the age of 22 years without interest but she could not share her choice in front of parents. There was big family of husband. FIL, MIL, two younger brothers, SIL. She had strain relation with her MIL who is irritable & dominating by nature. She felt insecurity in this environment. She had fear of MIL, never express any things in front of her. She had constant fear of quarrel. This leads to sleeplessness, thoughts which were better after weeping alone. Patient is elder in family so all responsibility is on her shoulder. She has anxiety about house since 2000. Anxiety about children future. She had constant thought in mind that how many days we will take care of BIL because they are not working. She has fear of dark, alone. Can not see the pain of others. The patient had a friendly nature but he had become withdrawn off late. She would like to have the company of her friends but since few months she had begun to feel uncomfortable in the company of others due to his skin problems. She felt more when her sister’s husband dies in accident. She would not express her feelings and would not share her grief with anyone. She had the tendency to suppress her grief and would divert his mind to something else. She would frequently brood about her problems. She was very fastidious by nature and was very particular about the way she would keep his things. She likes winter rather than summer. Headache from sun heat.

No any past history, Father having kidney stone. Based on the above history the patient was prescribed a remedy called Mag. Mur as constitutional medicine & Psorinum is inter current medicine. Within 2 months of treatment his complaints were better by more than 90%. There was no itching anymore. Overall she did very well with the treatment and that too within such a short span of time.

This case illustrates that even obstinate conditions like Psoriasis can also be effectively tackled with Homoeopathy.

Remark: The remedy prescribed in these cases is patient-specific i.e. it has been prescribed based on the symptoms specific to the patient at that point of time. It is advisable that the patient does not indulge in any self-medication.
