*Dr. Tridibesh Tripathy and Dr. Umakant Prusty
ABSTRACT
With a subdued celebration of World Homoeopathy Day on 10th April 2020 due to the on-going COVID (Corona Virus Disease) 19 epidemic, it is time to reflect what Homoeopathy can offer at this stage as a therapeutic system. Currently, Homoeopathy has not been tried on COVID 19 patients yet it has been reinforced that there is no cure to COVID 19 yet. It can be emphatically stated that Homoeopathy has proved its effectiveness in multiple viral diseases since its discovery in 1790. However, officially the AYUSH ministry through CCRH in January 2020 has already offered the Homoeopathic medicine Arsenic Album- 30C as a preventive medicine for COVID 19. The doses and frequency of the medicine are also clearly mentioned.[7,8] The related press release of AYUSH ministry mentions that health advisory of AYUSH ministry includes Arsenic Album-30 as a possible preventive for flu like illness such as corona virus infection.[7,8] The current article focuses on the curative approach that Homoeopathy has the potential to offer in COVID 19. Studies have indicated that the initial symptoms of COVID 19 disease lead to anosmia followed by fever, dry cough, respiratory distress through dry pneumonia respectively. The approach of treatment through the various stages has been dealt with in the article through application of multiple Homoeopathic medicines. The selected medicines are based on the principles of Homoeopathy using the Homoeopathic Materia Medica.
