Cure of immune thrombocytopenic purpura: A homeopathic approach

Abstract

Homeopathy can cure chronic disorders as well as multi-system syndromes. This is the most common alternative approach to treat cancers, allergies, psychological diseases, pain, and blood disorders. Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired hematological disorder characterized by low platelets count without any clinical cause. Platelets count <100x10⁹ /L Is critical enough to confirm the diagnosis of Immune Thrombocytopenia. The significant cause of this increased consumption of platelets is low production in the bone marrow and high splenic sequestration. An acute case of ITP can be presented with severe nose and gums bleeding and petechiae on the body, clinically. Presented case report is of a 2 years old male child, pre-diagnosed case of immune thrombocytopenia, which was on corticosteroids from 6 months but his platelet count remained down as he left medicine. According to the constitution of the patient and pathogenesis of the disease, Belladonna 30c, Arnica 3x liquid form and Calcarea Phos 3x in powder form prescribed alternatively according to the symptoms. Presented case propose that homeopathic medicines have great efficacy to increase Hemoglobin level as well as platelets count.
