Dengue and Homeoapthy – A Gentle Yet Potent Ally

Homeopathy, rooted in the principle of “Similia Similibus Curentur” (let like be cured by like), aims not just to suppress symptoms but to stimulate the body’s self-healing. It has been used during epidemics for centuries, and several remedies have shown supportive results in viral fevers like dengue.

In dengue, homeopathy works by:

• Reducing the intensity and duration of symptoms
• Supporting platelet count naturally
• Preventing complications like hemorrhage
• Enhancing recovery without side effects

Key Homeopathic Remedies Used in Dengue

⚠️ Always consult a qualified homeopath before taking any remedies. These medicines are most effective when matched to your individual symptoms and constitution.

1. Eupatorium Perfoliatum

Key Symptoms: Intense bone pain, fever with chills, soreness in the eyeballs, and a bursting headache. The patient may feel like their bones are being broken.
Why It’s Useful: This is a classic remedy for viral fevers with bone pains—often considered the “go-to” for dengue.

2. Bryonia Alba

Key Symptoms: Dry mouth, intense thirst for large quantities of water, and worsening of all symptoms with movement.
Why It’s Useful: When the patient wants to lie still, complains of pain in joints and muscles with high fever, and gets worse from any motion.

3. Gelsemium Sempervirens

Key Symptoms: Weakness, dizziness, trembling, chills up the spine, and drowsiness.
Why It’s Useful: Ideal for the early stages of dengue where the patient feels dull, fatigued, and sleepy even with a high fever.

4. Belladonna

Key Symptoms: Sudden onset of high fever with throbbing headache, red face, and a glassy stare.
Why It’s Useful: Acts well during the acute phase of fever before hemorrhagic signs appear.

5. Crotalus Horridus

Key Symptoms: Bleeding from various orifices, jaundice-like skin, dark stool or urine, and confusion.
Why It’s Useful: Used in severe cases of dengue with hemorrhagic tendencies and declining platelet counts.

6. China Officinalis (Cinchona)

Key Symptoms: Extreme weakness due to fluid loss, dizziness, and anemia.
Why It’s Useful: Restores vitality post-infection and during convalescence.

How Bahola Supports Your Dengue Recovery Journey

Bahola’s approach is rooted in classical homeopathy, but backed by decades of clinical experience and modern manufacturing standards. We offer remedies that are:

• Gentle on the body
• Non-habit forming
• Safe for all age groups
• Free from chemical additives

Our practitioners carefully match your symptoms with the appropriate remedy and potency, often using a combination of low and medium potencies to reduce fever, support immunity, and help the body recover faster.

Homeopathy in Prevention: Can You Avoid Dengue?

While homeopathy cannot prevent the bite of a mosquito, certain remedies can improve your immune response and reduce the likelihood of the virus taking hold.

Some practitioners recommend Eupatorium 30C or Arsenicum Album 30C as prophylactics during outbreaks. These remedies are selected based on the genus epidemicus—the remedy that best matches the symptom picture of most patients during a particular outbreak.

What About Platelet Count?

This is one of the biggest concerns in dengue.

Natural Support Remedies:

• Carica Papaya Leaf Extract – While not homeopathic, it’s widely used alongside remedies to boost platelets.
• Phosphorus 30C – For bleeding tendencies and low platelets with easy bruising.
• Hamamelis Virginica – When there is venous congestion, bleeding, or weakness due to blood loss.

Bahola’s philosophy is to support the body holistically, not just chase lab values. Our remedies aim to treat the person behind the condition.

When to Combine Homeopathy With Conventional Care

Dengue can escalate rapidly. Homeopathy is not a replacement for emergency medical care. If the patient experiences warning signs like difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, or unconsciousness, immediate hospitalization is required. Homeopathy can be used alongside allopathic treatment, improving comfort, speeding up recovery, and reducing the side effects of medications.

Final Thoughts

The brilliance of homeopathy lies in its individualized care. No two dengue patients are the same—and neither should be their remedy. While one person may suffer with chills and bone pain needing Eupatorium, another may lie listlessly needing Gelsemium.

The Bahola approach integrates classical remedy selection with modern patient needs—giving you the best of tradition and technology.
