 As the world with the most advanced technology in 2020 struggles to come in terms with a lethal pandemic, it necessitates  medical professionals to contribute in the well being of individuals exposed to COVID-19 with preventive as well as curative methods. Along with treatment it is essential to educate the masses preemptively about maintaining hygiene, immunity and using a simple face-covering protocols. Immunity plays a very vital role and following simple hygienic measures and guidelines given by the government can help contain the rapid spread of the virus .

Homeopathy has once again proved to be showing astonishing results when administered for curative purposes. Homeopathic remedies are also used for prophylactic purposes, they can also be given to immuno- compromised patients to boost there immunity so that if they encounter the virus there body can respond in a efficient way. As a Homeopathy it is our prime responsibility towards our patients and the society that we assure them not to fear or panic in the situation where either they or any one near them is exposed to virus. The main reason of panic being the complications that are developed due to COVID-19.

In the last few months I came across some case of COVID positive patients. Some were completely asymptotic, on the other hand some developed minor complaints and those with pre existing disease were the once to show aggravated symptoms and developed systemic complications. In times like this we should never forget the fundamentals of Homeopathy which has always been the reason for remarkable results in numerous cases over generations. When the exact, peculiar striking symptom are taken into consideration along with repertorisation we can ascertain promising results.

One of the most challenging cases I came across was of a colleague Homoeopath who is my student  & his family of 3 people – they all were tested  COVID Positive on 5TH JULY. Among them his mother was known of Hypertension, Diabetes mellitus type II, hypothyroidism. Other members had mild symptoms & his father was asymptotic but tested positive for COVID-19.

She developed breathing difficulty & cough. With the help of this article I would like to share my experience of managing the case along with its detailed proceeding for future reference of young Homeopath’s and colleague’s so that we can collectively fight against this crisis and establish a healthy environment.

Such are the times which should intrigue every scientific professional in the world, to show compassion and empathy towards the betterment of the community. In the words of my father, he always use to say become a needy Doctor, which has and will always keep me inspired in my practice.

Remarks from Patients son who is a Homeopath:

I would like to share my *Personal experience* about Power of Homeopathic Medicine in COVID 19.

When evil hits.. It hits badly, but if you have righteous homeopath(dr. Sujit Chatterjee - my guru, my idle) with you, one can snatch out patient from mouth of death.

I would like to Thank  *Respected Dr.Chatterjee Sir,* not only for consulting and treating my mother with his huge knowledge of homoeopathy but also to constantly giving moral support to me and my family members. I thank *Dr.Urvi* for making Tuberculinum Avis available. Also Dr. Anupama who came forth & talked with mom on call in the morning to ascertain the details of case and had already made difference by tracing out exact characteristics of case, which is absolute skill of a Homoeopath and  soul heartedly delivered her higher purpose of existence viz to help mankind/patient.

I thank physicians and hospital team for their Management.

Homeopathy is truly A brilliant science, I have seen so many wonders happening from Homoeopathy with Dr.Chatterjee sir when I was learning from him as a student in Mumbai & also after that while practicing in my own set up. So I claim righteous that Homeopathy should be used in managing COVID patients without hesitation... It cures.
