COMMENT:

In this case, the constitutional remedy Calcarea carb completely cured the patient and it not only removed the warts but also the frequency of dreams of murder and dead bodies, and also reduced the Lipoma growth. There were no signs of warts since 7 months, even after the last prescription of Calcarea carb, given on 18 May 2015, and he did not take any other medicine. This is the beauty of homoeopathy, a holistic system of medicine.

It is not the disease but the patient which we have to cure. Totality of symptoms is the sole guide for prescription of homoeopathic medicines. The most similar homoeopathic medicine not only treats the patient but also blocks the path of recurrent affection of patients from the disease conditions.
