COMPARATIVE STUDY OF POLYCHREST REMEDIES IN ACUTE VS. CHRONIC DISEASES

Abstract

Polychrest remedies represent a cornerstone of homeopathic therapeutics due to their wide sphere of action, deep constitutional influence, and applicability in both acute and chronic diseases. They are remedies whose symptom pictures cover multiple organ systems, temperaments, and miasmatic layers.

This comparative clinical study evaluates the dynamic action of key polychrest remedies—Sulphur, Lycopodium, Nux Vomica, Belladonna, Arsenicum Album, Pulsatilla, Natrum Muriaticum, and Calcarea Carbonica—in acute and chronic presentations. Through a synthesis of materia medica insights and clinical evidence, it aims to differentiate their symptom expression, miasmatic correlation, and pace of action.

The study also discusses the mode of action of polychrests in relation to vital force modulation, susceptibility, and disease dynamics. Case illustrations highlight practical remedy selection and potency decisions in both acute flare-ups and chronic states.
