Renal Calculi: An Evidence Based Case Study
Downloads
Very often patients, suffering from renal calculi are reluctant to surgery unless there is much trouble. They look for medical management whether allopathic, homeopathic or ayurvedic, to get rid of it. Literatures show effectiveness of homeopathic medicines in expulsion of moderate to big sized renal stones. This case reported here is such an example which again proves the importance of individualization and thus efficacy of homeopathic medicines in addressing the underlying cause and expulsion of renal stone. Phosphorus, a homoeopathic remedy has acted nicely and helped to clear the renal stone.
