Abstract

Aim

This study reports on and summarises five of the 55 cases of COVID-19 positive clients who sought homeopathic care for symptoms between March  2020 – December 2021 by a team of professional homeopaths working together in the United States. This instalment of the case series focuses on  cases where more than two remedies were needed to move the case to resolution.

Background

The clients in this series received tele-health consultations and individualised homeopathy interventions in an outpatient homeopathy clinical setting.  They were seen by individual professional homeopathy practitioners and students under supervision working together on the Homeopathy Help  Network (HHN) in the United States.

Methods

COVID-19 positive individuals self-selected for individualised care for their symptoms using homeopathy. Cases for the series were hand-picked with  the aim of being an average representation of the more than 3,000 COVID-positive cases seen by members of the Homeopathy Help Network. Cases  were eligible for inclusion if the client tested positive for COVID-19, was seen by the practitioner to the resolution of symptoms and the case had clear  case notes on the progression of symptoms and remedy recommendations and reactions.

Results

Cases are grouped according to a predominant case feature: multiple remedies; posology; time ill; strange, rare and peculiar (SRP); single remedy  resolution; hospitalisation. At the time of writing this instalment, the observational case series is part of an ongoing case series. This compendium  consists of 55 cases split into nine publications using the categories above.
