A Case Report on Management of Hyperlipidemia with Homeopathic Remedies

Abstract

Hyperlipidemia is the abnormality of lipid metabolism that ranks as the second most prevalent chronic illness condition and is  one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Though conventional treatment uses statins as intervention, they are not free from adverse effects and are also expensive. In this case, a 50-year old male diagnosed with familial hyperlipidemia, was managed with homoeopathic medicines, Calcarea carbonica and Saccharum lactis based on the physical, mental  generals and modalities of the individual. The intervention along with lifestyle changes showed symptomatic relief along with lowering of the lipid values. The results from this present study may be further utilized to frame a larger sample clinical study to confirm the therapeutic efficacy of these homeopathic formulations.
