Peripheral neuropathy 18010...India
A 68-year-old male sought treatment for numbness that extended from abdomen to both his legs up to the toes. The numbness first began in June 2022, occurring only on waking up and resolved on its own after a few minutes. By Jan 2023, it started to occur several times daily, each episode lasting an hour during which he was unable to walk; when his legs were massaged, he would get relief lasting for two hours during which he could resume walking. Also, he developed mild but constant tremors in both his hands, doctor diagnosed his condition as peripheral neuropathy. There was no history of diabetes or blood pressure and the underlying cause remained unidentified. He took prescribed medication for two months and as there was no relief, he managed his symptoms only through massage and rest.

CC3.7 Circulation + CC12.1 Adult tonic + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC18.5 Neuralgia + CC18.6 Parkinson’s disease…6TD for two weeks and then TDS
On 3 Nov, the patient joyfully reported that episodes of numbness had reduced to once every 2 to 3 days, each episode lasting less than 10 minutes; tremors now lasted a minute and occurred 2 to 3 times a day. By 18 Nov, tremors occured only once a week, each lasting less than a minute. By 1 Dec, numbness had completely disappeared and there had been no tremors since his last review on 18 Nov.
