A Randomized Clinical Trial To See The Role Of Homoeopathic Medicine Cephalandra Indica Q In The Case Of Diabetes Mellitus Type-II: A Case Report
Main Article Content
Abstract
One of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality is diabetes mellitus. However, controlling and treating it remain major worldwide challenges. Homoeopathy is considered to be helpful for diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes mellitus. Many homoeopathic medicines are said to be effective against it. This study was carried out at the Shringi Homoeopathic clinic and research Centre in Bhilwara, Rajasthan, to assess how well the homeopathic drug Cephalandra indica Q treats type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study demonstrates that Cephalandra Indica, a homoeopathic remedy, significantly lowers blood sugar levels in people with type II diabetes.
