Abstract

Allergic Rhinitis presenting with chronic rhino-sinusitis (CRS) is a commonly encountered condition characterized by nasal obstruction, loss of sense of smell (anosmia), postnasal drip, headache, and sleep disorders. Possibly 60-65% of the populations suffering from CRS has predisposition to nasal polyps. Homoeopathic literature claims to offer successful treatment of allergic rhinitis; but scarcely subjected to systematic research. A case is presented in this paper with laboratory evidence of very high level of serum IgE level which has been successfully drop down by homoeopathy. The patient was treated with constitutional homoeopathic medicines – Psorinum 30C then two months Placebo followed by Pulsatilla 6C. Follow-up laboratory result at 4 months showed complete resolution of the serum IgE level. This case report suggests homoeopathic treatment as a promising complementary or alternative therapy and emphasizes the need of repertorisation in individualized homoeopathic prescription.
