ABSTRACT
It was a phase 2, prospective clinical study to access the concept of Pseudo-Chronic disease given by Dr. Hahnemann through the cases of Obesity. Pseudo-Chronic Diseases are the apparent disease expression that could improve through good Diet, Regimen and Hygiene and are not due to fundamental chronic Miasm. Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. According to the classification of disease in homoeopathy, obesity comes under pseudo-chronic diseases. The study consists of detailed cases with before and after comparison of data of 30 patients (15 patient in the trial or experimental group and 15 patients in the control group). Depending upon the criteria assessment changes were seen according to the scoring. Patient that were on Homoeopathic Medication along with Controlled diet and Exercise showed significant decrease in the Body Mass Index (BMI) compared to the patients that were kept only on Controlled diet and Exercise and No Homoeopathic medicine. From the above result and observations it is concluded that Homoeopathic Medicine has a great role in decreasing obesity hence proving its role in improvements of cases of pseudo-chronic diseases. No adverse effects were recorded during the study.
