Abstract

Haemorrhoids represent a common anorectal disorder with considerable impact on quality of life. Conventional treatment modalities provide symptomatic relief but may not address recurrence or individual patient variability. Homoeopathy emphasises individualised treatment based on the totality of symptoms.

This prospective observational study evaluated 15 cases of haemorrhoids managed using individualised homoeopathic remedies. Data were collected through detailed case-taking, repertorization, and follow-up assessments over three months. Results indicated marked improvement in pain, bleeding, and prolapse in a majority of patients. Remedies such as Aesculus hippocastanum and Hamamelis virginiana were frequently prescribed based on symptom similarity. The study concludes that individualised homoeopathic treatment may serve as an effective non-surgical approach in haemorrhoids, with Materia Medica playing a critical role in remedy differentiation.
