Homeopathic interventions against Salmonella typhi: A narrative review

Abstract

This review discusses the importance of the antimicrobial action of homoeopathic medicine in the general management of typhoid. The main aim is to provide individualized homoeopathic treatment with symptomatic improvement, minimizing complications, and promoting early recovery. Justifying homoeopathy as preventive and curative in epidemic diseases. To review the effectiveness of homoeopathic medicine against Salmonella typhi by agar well diffusion and MIC value methods. Google scholar and PubMed databases were searched for this study to analyse the effects of homoeopathic medicine against Salmonella typhi. After scrutiny, shortlisted studies were reviewed for the study. The Google scholar search yielded 41 studies, a bibliography from 13 different sources books, and the Selection of 6 clinical rubrics from Radar 10-Synthesis Repertories after analysis of abstracts of 60 studies, 27 were shortlisted including five in-vitro and two in-vivo studies. Most of the studies showed the significance of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for homoeopathic medicine exhibited antibacterial potential against the related miniature organisms. The studies regarding antimicrobial action and other mechanisms of activity were heterogeneous. Homoeopathic remedies will allow the vital force immediately to deal with any exposure agents viz. various antigenic variants of salmonella. It appears to actuate resistant framework by initiating both T and B cells by the arrangement of antibodies. Further expansion of experimental studies is needed to know the exact action mechanism of homoeopathic medicines against Salmonella typhi.
