HOMOEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT IN WET GANGRENE

Abstract

Everyone is familiar with the word diabetes, but its serious complications include retinopathy, nephropathy, dry/ wet gangrene and what not. Gangrene is a serious condition resulting from long term untreated infections in diabetics. Worldwide, it remains a significant cause of morbidity and amputation. In this paper we shall discuss a case where a patient with diabetes and wet gangrene in her right foot, advised for immediate amputation, turned to homeopathy. Despite being on antibiotics, her condition worsened until homeopathic treatment saved her leg, though three toes were lost. This case highlights successful potential of homeopathy in managing wet gangrene and its severe complications by elevated blood sugar levels
