Calcarea Carbonica 200 For Persistent Post-Covid Symptoms: A Homoeopathic Case Analysis
Keywords:
Post-COVID Syndrome, Long COVID, Calcarea Carbonica 200, Homeopathy, Symptom Scoring, Ig LevelsAbstract
Background: COVID-19 is primarily a respiratory illness transmitted via respiratory droplets. While acute infection management has seen global efforts through vaccination and public health interventions, a subset of patients continues to experience lingering symptoms known as Post-COVID Syndrome. These symptoms can persist for weeks or months and span multiple organ systems, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of Calcarea Carbonica 200, a homeopathic remedy, in alleviating symptoms of persistent post-COVID syndrome in a clinical case.
Methods: A patient presenting with post-COVID symptoms, including fatigue, cognitive issues, chest pain, and gastrointestinal disturbances, was treated with Calcarea Carbonica 200. A structured symptom scoring system was used to monitor changes over the treatment period. Immunoglobulin (Ig) levels were also assessed as part of the biochemical evaluation.
Results: Significant symptomatic improvement was observed following the administration of Calcarea Carbonica 200. Evidence-based evaluations showed a marked reduction in symptom severity scores and favorable changes in Ig levels, indicating both subjective relief and objective improvement.
Conclusion: Calcarea Carbonica 200 demonstrated potential effectiveness in managing post-COVID syndrome in this case. Given the complex and individualized nature of long COVID, such integrative approaches, including homeopathy, warrant further exploration in broader clinical studies.
