Dr Hima Adhvaryu, Dr Grishma Panicker

Abstract: A 76-year-old retired male presented with right-sided upper limb paralysis and numbness of the right palm for the past three months. He had a prior similar episode in 2022 that improved with physiotherapy. The patient has a history of emotional trauma related to multiple bereavements during the COVID-19 pandemic, along with a strong sense of responsibility and conscientious personality traits. MRI findings suggested myelomalacia. Based on the totality of symptoms, a homeopathic approach was considered, and Causticum was selected as the indicated remedy.
