Dr. D. Bhavani, Dr. K. Manikanda Perumal

Abstract: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms, resulting from the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons. Parkinson's is the second-most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. It is characterized by a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The typical indications and manifestations of Parkinson's disease generally do not appear until there has been a substantial loss of around 70-80% of dopaminergic neurons. Homoeopathy, a holistic system of medicine, treats the person through the individualization. This article explores the potential of Homeopathy, particularly using the Murphy Repertory, to manage PD comprehensively.
