A CASE OF BRONCHIAL ASTHMA

By Dr. Jawahar Shah M.D.(Hom)

NOTE:

To protect the patient’s

identity, we have used a

model’s picture or

photographs for the purpose

of presentation.

Mr. B.D.N., aged 67, a

well known social

worker with a strong

inclination to help

people.

Was brought in 1978 by

a number of his followers.

He had been suffering from

Bronchial Asthma for

the last 40 years.

He was on approximately 13 tablets

in a day and was 100% dependent

on the aerosol pump. He would use his

bronchodilator pump every 1 hour or

more frequently.

A complete history was taken.

The case was repertorized,

re-repertorized an re-worked.

Interview / history was taken

again. The medicine was changed

but without relief.

He had been to most of the well known

Homoeopaths of India without getting

much relief. Even I was pocketed

by him. His followers would always

come and request me to do something

urgently

I was frustrated as I could not help him

at all and no amount of reworking of the

case helped. But there were a few points

which were observed.

1. Inspite of so much of suffering & drug

dependency, the spasms were very

prominent and there were hardly any

secretions, even in the worst of crisis.

2. The patient was capable of managing

most of the day to day activities. He

never had any problem in managing

anything. He was very active in his social

activities. In fact he went out of his way

to help people.

This helping nature is predominantly a psoric trait and although the disease pathologically was advance, at the mental level patient showed lots of healthy and psoric expressions. That is why inspite of his age and duration of disease, physician can be sure that if right medicine is selected patient can be helped.

One fine morning

he came with his wife

and wife told me very

interesting fact.

She said that

he was totally

dependent on Steroids, Bronchodilators

and inhaler. He would take the inhaler half

hourly or 1 hourly and he would get relief.

And many a time the inhaler doesn’t

have any medicine in it. It may be

empty but still he feels better. Based

on this expression I considered the

following facts:

• Leading Personality

• Requires Support

• Sycotic to Syphilitic expression

• Anxiety about health

• Chilly patient.

He must have received many homoeopathic medicines from various physicians in various potencies. So I must do something different do get some result.

Fact expressed that there is undercurrent psychology and anxiety running in this case. So I must give remedy which is sycotic, chilly & has marked anxiety.

I thought that in spite of all the changes,

the disease is still predominantly in the

sycotic phase and nothing seemed to

be working on him. (Considering he had

been treated by many Homoeopathic,

Ayurvedic and Allopathic doctors).

So I thought of starting with

Thuja (30), 1 dose daily.

It was gradually increased to

2 doses a day, then to 3 doses a day

and then 4 doses.

There was marked change during

the eight weeks of treatment. All his

13 tablets (Allopathic) were

stopped.

The frequency of using the

pump decreased. His

appetite improved and he started

feeling much healthier.
