Psoriasis 11604...India
A 70-year-old female had itchy red patches below the knees and thick black scars on the ankle joints for the past 18 years and it was diagnosed as psoriasis. Her symptoms would escalate with mental and physical stress. She took homoeopathic treatment for 14 years without much success and then ayurvedic treatment for four years but with only minimal improvement, so stopped it. On 27 Apr 2020, she visited the practitioner who gave:
#1. CC21.2 Skin infections + CC21.3 Skin allergies + CC21.10 Psoriasis + CC21.11 Wounds & Abrasions…BD in coconut oil for external application
#2. CC12.4 Autoimmune diseases + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + #1…TDS
The patient was advised to prevent her skin from drying out. Within two weeks on 11 May, she had 90% relief from itching and the patches had stopped spreading. By 25 May, the patches reduced in size by 50%. As scratching the itchy scar on the ankle made the surrounding area red and swollen, on 16 July the dosage of #1 was increased to TDS and #2 to 6TD. By 26 July the itchy, reddish swelling around the scar disappeared, so the dosage of #1 was reduced to BD and #2 to TDS, maybe more if necessary. By 21 Dec, patches had reduced in size by 90% and scars had become lighter in colour; #2 was enhanced to:
#3. CC17.2 Cleansing + #2…TDS
By 2 Feb 2021, patches were completely gone and scars had reduced in size by 90%. By 29 Mar, she had 100% improvement in all her symptoms, so #1 was discontinued. As there was no recurrence of any symptoms during the next six months, #3 was stopped and replaced with #2 for maintenance at a dosage of OD. As of Aug 2022, the patient continues to take #2 and enjoys healthy skin.
