Urticaria a long-standing case: with the history of epilepsy cured by Pulsatilla.
Dr. Hahnemann’s timeless statement, “Treat the sick, not the disease,” finds repeated verification in the hands of a true physician. This case is a living example. A nine‑year‑old boy had been suffering from urticaria for one year, with no relief despite treatment by several allopathic physicians. One of my previously cured patients, who had experienced similar trouble, referred the child’s mother to my clinic. On examination, the child presented with marked evening aggravation, skin slightly warm to touch with intense itching, and ravenous hunger aggravated by fatty food. He also experienced vertigo on exposure to sun heat. A deeper inquiry revealed an active history of epilepsy, previously treated with allopathy. Recognizing the individuality of the case, I prescribed Pulsatilla 30 in repeated doses. Within a 15‑day course of treatment, the patient was completely cured. This outcome underscores the principle of individualization in homeopathy and demonstrates how a carefully chosen remedy can restore health where other systems have failed.

Case Story: Individualization in Urticaria with Epileptic History:
Dr. Hahnemann’s guiding principle, “Treat the sick, not the disease,” has stood the test of time, and in this case, it was once again verified in practice.
A nine‑year‑old boy had been suffering from urticaria for over a year. His family had sought help from several physicians of the allopathic system, but despite repeated treatments, the child found no lasting relief. The suffering continued, and the family grew increasingly disheartened.
It was at this point that one of my previously cured patients, who had endured similar troubles, recommended my clinic to the boy’s mother. Acting on this advice, she brought her son to me one evening.
During the consultation, I carefully recorded the case and soon discovered the keynotes that illuminated the individuality of the patient. The child’s symptoms were markedly aggravated in the evening, his skin was slightly warm to touch with intense itching, and he suffered from ravenous hunger that worsened with fatty food. Another striking feature was his vertigo on exposure to sun heat, which added depth to the clinical picture.
On further inquiry, I learned that the boy had an active history of epilepsy, previously treated with allopathy. This background added complexity to the case, but it also underscored the importance of treating the patient as a whole, not merely the presenting complaint.
With these gems of individuality in hand, I selected Pulsatilla 30, administered in repeated doses. The response was remarkable. Within just 15 days of treatment, the child was completely cured.
This case is more than a clinical success—it is a living demonstration of the homeopathic principle of individualization. Where other systems had failed, a carefully chosen remedy, matched to the patient’s unique constitution and symptoms, restored health.

After reading this case my thought has been changed, Pulsatilla also may be the remedy of Urticaria.
Dear Anamta, Any medicine may be useful in Urticaria; if symptoms agree.
