HOLISTIC HOMEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC PALMOPLANTAR PSORIASIS: A TRANSFORMATIONAL OUTCOME AT DR BATRA’S HOMEOPATHY CLINIC

Abstract

Palmoplantar psoriasis is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory dermatosis that significantly impairs quality of life due to pain, fissuring, and difficulty in ambulation. Elderly patients often present with multiple comorbidities, making long-term management challenging. This case study documents the successful homeopathic management of a 69-year-old female with chronic palmoplantar psoriasis of one year’s duration, associated with severe itching, painful fissures, winter aggravation, and impaired mobility. The patient had associated hypertension and hypothyroidism and reported only partial and temporary relief with prior conventional treatment and topical measures.

A detailed homeopathic case-taking with emphasis on mental generals, physical generals, and characteristic particulars was undertaken. Individualized constitutional treatment along with supportive local care resulted in gradual and sustained improvement. Over a follow-up period of nearly one year, the patient showed marked reduction in scaling, fissures, pain, and itching, with restoration of normal walking ability and significant improvement in overall well-being. This case highlights the role of individualized homeopathy in managing chronic dermatological conditions and demonstrates a clear clinical transformation achieved at Dr Batra’s Homeopathy Clinic.
