GERIATRICS AND HOMEOPATHY

GERIATRICS AND HOMEOPATHY

by  Deepa Raje Nimbalka 

GERIATRICS is a sub-speciality of medicine that focuses on health care of elderly.A distinct entity in the same way that neonatology is separated from pediatrics.Homeopathy had wide scope in this field.let us discuss some rubric.

Repertory is an indispensable tool in homoeopathic practice.

Use of repertory in elderly patients with specific rubrics may

point towards some very important remedies which we might

overlook in usual materia medica study.

Synthesis repertory 9.1 contains many such rubrics with

corresponding remedies. These rubrics have come from many author sources and

clinical experiences.

Here, I am also giving specific rubrics along with remedies

because many readers don’t have latest version of synthesis.

                                       

These rubrics and remedies are added from various author

references which can be viewed in computerized or printed version e.g. Rubric

Absentminded, old people in- has addition Am-c from Kent personal addition,

Ambr and Bar-c from Vithoulkas, Con and Lyc from Stauffer Karl.

One should bear in mind these rubrics and remedies are

mostly clinical experiences and should not be used as eliminating

rubrics. General or larger rubrics must be utilized for

repertorisation.
