Indian Scenerio Of Effectiveness Of Homoeopathic Medicines In Treatment Of Urticaria - A Meta Analysis Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
Urticaria, commonly known as hives, is a skin condition characterized by the appearance of red, itchy welts on the skin. It is a common condition that affects a significant portion of the global population, including India. Various treatments, ranging from conventional to alternative, have been explored for its management. Among these, homeopathic medicine has garnered attention due to its holistic approach and individualized treatment principles. The current study aims to conduct a meta-analysis of the effectiveness of homeopathic treatment in managing urticaria, focusing on the available data from India. We will evaluate clinical studies, randomized controlled trials, and observational studies to assess the scientific basis for the use of homeopathy in urticaria treatment.
