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.

Chief complaints:

1. Urticaria with marked evening aggravation.

2. Skin warm to touch with intense itching

3. Ravenous hunger with marked aggravation after eating fatty food. (Psora in Background)

Outcome:

Within 15 days of the administration of the medicine patient got complete relief. No need of second prescription. without any Aggravation.

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.

I had often heard that homeopathy acts slowly, but I would like to assure you this is not true. This is the case of my own son, who was suffering from long‑standing urticaria. He had been treated by many eminent allopathic doctors but without benefit. My sister, who lives in Gwalior, told me about Dr. Habib Khan. I visited his clinic, where he carefully inquired into my son’s case. After a long discussion, he gave us two small bottles filled with pills and instructed us to take four pills every two hours, four to five times a day. Within three days of medication, the urticaria began to reduce, and within fifteen days it was completely resolved. One more thing I would like to mention: some homeopathic doctors say that homeopathic medicine first aggravates the disease before curing it. But this was not true in my son’s case. He did not experience any aggravation, neither in his urticaria nor in his epilepsy. Thus, one of my greatest false notions—that homeopathy works slowly—has been completely eradicated.
