Diabetic foot

I have been a diabetic for the past several years and my big toe was amputated two years ago as the infection was not healing. Now there is an erosion on one of the toes which does not seem to heal. The very fact of amputation scares me.

P.N. Rao

Merc sol, Calendula, Secale cor are a few remedies which can fight infection and also see that there is increased perfusion of the area which is affected due to diabetes. Regular dressing of the area needs to done so that infection heals and gangrene does not set in. Consult a homoeopath.

Piles

I have indulged in a fair intake of Haleem this season and have burning while passing stool. I used to suffer from constipation.

abc

Since you are prone to constipation and there has been a more than moderate intake of spicy and oil rich foods there is probably worsening of your old symptom leading to pain, bleeding while passing stool due to haemorrhoids commonly called piles. Homoeopathic medicine has good remedies like Paeonia, Ratanhia, Acid nit, Nux vomica etc. which can give relief to you. Consult a homoeopath.

Jaundice

I am 23-year-old and have been diagnosed with jaundice. Can homoeopathy help?

abc

Hepatitis A virus when it infects the liver cells can cause deficient production of bile, insufficient of drainage of bile produced into the system for digestion, increased build up of bilirubin in the blood and the increased rate of loss of liver cells causing the above said changes in your serum investigations. Cardus mar, Chelidonium, Berb vulg, Calc carb etc. which can improve the liver cell function and bring down jaundice. Consult a homoeopath.
