Why Us
32-year-old Shantanu (name changed) visited our Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital Jhansi, with a discouraging look on his face and a bagful of reports. He was accompanied by a friend who is our existing patient. Shantanu spoke very little, but his eyes expressed his plight. He had stopped his treatment nearly six years ago for a problem called oligospermia, where the sperm count of the person is below the normal level (where the normal count is 20 million); his report showed a sperm count of only two million.
He was dejected by the outcome of his previous treatment. His last report showed that the viability of spermatozoa was nil or zero and the motility was nil.
Disappointed by this, he had stopped all treatments thinking that his future was sealed with no hope of having a child.
Persuaded by a relative, he resorted to homeopathy. His friend informed us that the patient was so disappointed with his ailment that he withdrew himself from his social circle and became a loner. He felt that he had lost everything in life. He became a very reserved and extremely introvert person.
Considering his case study — disappointment, apathy and indifference to everything around him — we prescribed him Acid Phos 200. He was advised to come every month to the clinic for his follow up and semen analysis to be done once every six months.
In the fourth month of his treatment, he got his semen analysis and found, to his surprise and contentment, that his sperm count had increased to 30 millions and 2% of spermatozoa were viable alive at the end of three hours, and the motility rate, which was nil, became 5%.
Shantanu came with these new reports with admiration in his eyes and praise on his lips for Dr.H.M.Soni and his team. Homeopathic treatment cured his oligospermia and gave a new meaning to his life.
A young married lady named Safeena came to Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital with complains of irregular periods and infertility. She was married for five years, had an ectopic pregnancy two years ago, followed by the medical termination of her pregnancy. She was very anxious to conceive, but her hysterosalpingography (HSG) report revealed left tubal blockage, right side hydrosalpinx and ultrasonography (USG) revealed polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
She used to get her menses only with the intake of hormonal supplements. Her gynaecologist had advised her not to plan for a pregnancy as it may land up into an ectopic, following the death of the foetus. She was also advised for a surgery and yet, there was no scope for conception as the surgery could leave an adhesion in her fallopian tubes, so she was quite reluctant for the same.
When we were taking her detailed case-history, she seemed misty-eyed as she hailed from an orthodox, Muslim joint family where everybody expected an offspring from her. Of late, her relation with her husband was getting edgy, owing to the child issue.
Every time she visited us, she could not restrain herself from weeping while narrating her problems. Based on her detailed study, we gave her Pulsatilla 1M and Apis Mellifica 6C. She got her menses in the second month; we also advised her to stop the hormonal supplements. Initially, her periods were delayed but on completion of six months of the treatment, her periods were regularised; associated complaints like acne and hair loss secondary to PCOS also improvised. She started developing unwanted hair growth, which stopped over a period of time.
We also counselled and reassured her husband. After nine months, we repeated HSG, where there were no evidence of hydrosalpinx in the right fallopian tube, though the left tube remained blocked, as it is an irreversible change. Her gynaecologist also told tell her that she could plan for a pregnancy in the future. Safeena’s happiness is highly evident in her behaviour after she heard the great news from her gynaecologist. Her husband and family are also in good terms with her due to this ray of hope. She gives the entire credit for this positive change in her life to Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital.
On account of , irregular menses and a host of other complaints, 25-year-old Sushila (name changed) visited Dr H.M.Soni Hospital for homeopatic treatment. She had been suffering from Sterlity and Irregular Menses for the last Five years before she came to us. She tried all other treatments for her problem but it did not help her.
Along with irregular menses, she also suffered from a depressive mood, irritability and a gradual increase in her weight. The sonography (USG) of her pelvis had revealed that she had polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD). Her complaints could be clearly attributed to the PCOD.
General features such as appetite and thirst were normal, and she had a liking for fried food, salty food and cold drinks. Bowel movements and urination were normal with no complaints due to the same. Her sweat would be scanty in general. She would be sleepless quite often since she would think a lot while in bed.
Sushila was very worried about her Future when she decided to visit us at Dr H.M.Soni Hospital A thorough case analysis was done for her and this revealed that she was very timid and shy since she had been brought up in a very protective environment since childhood. Sushila had been born and brought up in Kanpur, and used to be very dependent on her parents for every little thing.
By nature, she was a very soft spoken person besides being loving, understanding, adjusting, sharing and compromising. She pursued her career in software engineering but could not complete it due to some domestic problems . Sushila was a person with high confidence and good decision making capability. She got married in 2007. Hers was a love marriage but later she felt her husband didn’t support her much. Due to this, she would turn aggressive at times. Even though she would feel angry and depressed about this, she did not speak out to him about the same. She felt that she was being dominated by her husband. When offended, she would easily start weeping.
The consulting doctor at DrH.M.Soni Hospital prescribed her constitutional remedy based on the above history. After starting treatment, she experienced good relief and was very satisfied with the results.Her menses became regular and she no longer suffered from depressive spells like before.
When 40-year-old Mr.Raghvendra (name changed) came to Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital for the homeopathic treatment of his kidney stones, he was not aware that homeopathy could completely cure his problem and help him avoid surgery. He had come simply to seek some relief from his pain and suffering.
Mr.Raghvendra reports stated that he had one kidney stone (renal calculus) on the right side measuring 12.8 mm along with some swelling of the right kidney (hydronephrosis). He also had another small stone in the left kidney and this one measured 7.6 mm. He had been suffering from the pain since four months before he came to us for treatment. Mr Raghvendra doctor had recommended him to go for surgery and had prescribed him pain-killers, which gave him little relief. Instead, he came to us on the insistence of his friend who had benefited a lot by Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital homeopathic treatment.
Along with kidney stones, he was suffering from lumbar spondylosis and diabetes since four years.
Mr.Raghvendra had a normal appetite and a strong liking for sweets. He also liked hot foods and drinks. His sweat would be offensive and would leave behind yellowish stains on his clothes. Working as the Branch Manager, he was a very fastidious man. He also described himself as being dominating in nature. His childhood had been unpleasant since his father was very dominating and he was very scared of his father. He was very brilliant in his studies.
Even though he was successful in his career, Mr.Raghvendra had a strong fear of failure. Before taking up any task, he would be very anxious as to whether he would be able to accomplish the same or not.
The consulting doctor prescribed him his constitutional medicine for all his complaints. Within one month of starting treatment, there was much relief in his pain and other complaints. He would no longer get episodes of pain that troubled him earlier. With continued treatment, his life gradually got back to normal. When his repeat ultrasonography was done, the report was absolutely normal and there were no calculi in either kidney.
Today, he is very thankful to homeopathy, which helped him to avoid surgery, and treated him gently and safely.
49 -year-old Mr Venkatesh (name changed) was very disappointed when he noticed white patches coming up on his axilla. The hypopigmented and depigmented patches gradually began to spread on his scalp and involved his lips as well.
One year of conventional treatment did not help him much and thereafter, he decided to opt for homeopathic treatment for his vitiligo at Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital On his visit to Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital in JHANSI, the consulting doctor took his detailed case study.
Mr Venkatesh, who was a government officer, was very reserved by nature. He was an introvert and didn’t share his feelings with anyone. At the same time, he was very emotional too. He would suppress his emotions – never giving vent to his anger and remaining silent whenever he was angry.
Off late, he had been very disappointed due to his son’s behaviour, because his son was unemployed and had no inclination to work at all.
Besides being a diabetic and on regular medication for the same, Mr Venkatesh had no other health problems.
Based on the history, he was prescribed his constitutional remedy by the treating doctor. His Vitiligo gradually started showing signs of improvement and pigmentation started to appear on his patches. The improvement started from the patches on his scalp and gradually, he became free from vitiligo. Today, he is happy for taking the right decision of starting treatment at Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital JHANSI.
25-year-old Riya Sen (name changed) was embarrassed due to the multiple warts that she had developed on her hands. These small, rough, cauliflower-like growths were increasing in number when she got alarmed and visited Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital for treatment.
Riya’s warts would itch and also hurt if pressure was applied to them. She had cauterised them twice in the past three years but they recurred after some time. When she consulted us, she had almost 20 warts on all fingers. She repeatedly stressed on how embarrassed she felt when someone asked her about these growths on her hands.
Riya’s appetite, thirst, urine and stools were normal. She had a strong liking for chilled water and had an aversion to eating sweets. She would sweat excessively on her palms.
Apart from the warts, Riya used to suffer from recurrent attacks of Tonsillitis and Pharyngitis whenever she would consume cold food or cold drinks and at every change of weather.
She had been staying away from her home since three years, so she used to feel very homesick. She was short-tempered but would also cool down easily. She was very punctual in her work and liked travelling. Whenever she would wash her face, she would get a strong feeling that someone was standing behind her.
The consulting doctor prescribed him his constitutional medicine for all his complaints. Within one month of starting treatment, there was much relief in his pain and other complaints. He would no longer get episodes of pain that troubled him earlier. With continued treatment, his life gradually got back to normal. When his repeat ultrasonography was done, the report was absolutely normal and there were no calculi in either kidney.
Based on her history, Riya was prescribed Dulcamara by the consulting doctor at Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital Within one year, she noticed a remarkable change and by the time she completed two years of homeopathic treatment, her warts had completely disappeared, never to come back again. She was glad that she did not have to undergo any procedures like cauterisation, which helped her only temporarily. Homeopathy treated the root cause of the problem, hence there was no recurrence of the condition after completing treatment. In addition, homeopathy also improved her immunity and she would not fall prey to recurrent Tonsillitis and Pharyngitis any more. Even when she would get the attacks once in a while, they would be mild and she would not need any antibiotics for the same.
Reema (name changed) was all of 26 years and practicing law when she noticed some bald patches coming up on her scalp. She was also losing a lot of hair in general since a year. Filled with anxiety and doubt whether her condition would get better or not, she approached Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital.
Reema informed the consulting doctor that she had tried all sorts of treatment but did not get any relief in her complaints. She had around six or seven bald patches of variable sizes on the scalp since four months, more on the right side of the head. The scalp appeared normal in these patches, though she had some itching in these spots.
A detailed case taking revealed that she also had irregular menses since puberty and she was putting on a lot of weight. Recurrent cold and cough had been a part of her life since many years now. Every three or four months, she would come down with a cold that would last almost two weeks.
Peculiarly, Reema was very fond of sweets and averse to peanuts. Her appetite, thirst, bowel movements were all normal and she had no complaints pertaining to the same. She was sensitive to cold in general and would prefer warm weather. Her sleep would be very disturbed and unrefreshing, no matter how tired she would be. She would often keep tossing about in bed at night trying hard to get some sleep.
While trying to understand the cause of her illness, it was brought to light that her father had passed away in a tragic accident some years ago. She was very close to him and being the eldest daughter, she lit the pyre at his funeral. The grief of his death had been with her ever since and she had still not been able to come out of it. She had now become very irritable and would lose her temper easily. Whenever she got angry, she would prefer to move out of the room till she would cool down. Reema mentioned that she had become pessimistic about life and had a feeling of hopelessness now. She had no energy to fight with all the obstacles in life and had a lot of negative feelings about life in general.
After studying her case in detail, the consulting Dr.H.M.Soni prescribed Natrum Muriaticum for her complaints. Within two months of starting homeopathic treatment, Reema started noticing small growth on the bald patches. This gradually got better and within 16 months of treatment, all her bald patches had hair. The treatment not only helped her to get back her hair but also to regain peace of mind in life. She gradually started noticing that she was no longer pessimistic as before and had come to terms with life now. Her sleep improved significantly and her outlook towards people and life was becoming positive, much to her own surprise. Today, she is glad she took the right decision to take homeopathy and that too at the right time
Deepak (name changed) suffered from psoriasis for eight long years and tried numerous therapies before he came to Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital seeking treatment. All of 22 years, he was tired of this affliction, which had troubled him for so long. The lesions of psoriasis were extensively spread on his elbows, hands and back with a lot of itching, especially at night. These lesions would worsen during winter and upon exposure to sunlight. Sometimes, the lesions would bleed upon excessive scratching and become painful. Along with psoriasis, Deepak also was suffering from frequent cold and cough.
In general, his appetite was good and he loved to eat. Deepak was very fond of sweets and chocolates. Burgers were a part of his daily meal. His thirst, bowel movements and perspiration were all normal, and he had no complaints pertaining to the same. He had a preference for warm weather and was sensitive to cold in general. One cigarette every day was a routine for him and he would consume alcohol at social functions only.
Deepak stayed in a nuclear family and had one younger sibling. His father had a transferable job. During his childhood, he was pampered by his parents. Deepak was obedient and disciplined initially but after grade VII, he started revolting to the ideas of his teachers and started living in his own way. He used to think that his teachers are very boring. Due to his anarchist behaviour, his teachers concluded that he was careless in studies, though he would score good marks at school.
Deepak was pursuing a career in engineering when he sought treatment with Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital He said that his close friends felt like he had the habit of building air castles, theorising and being careless with his tasks. He would also tend to postpone his tasks very often. On one hand, he was a very practical person who believed in following his mind rather than heart but on the other hand, he was very emotional too. He would easily get upset when his parents were in trouble. He was an introvert by nature and didn’t like to mix with people; he shared his feelings only with his close friends.
Based on these details of the case, Deepak was prescribed a constitutional remedy by the consulting doctor at Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital. As the treatment continued over a period of time, his skin lesions gradually started clearing up. The psoriasis reduced to a considerable extent within three to four months. With this response, he was relieved of a great burden on his mind and his stress levels became significantly less. His lesions almost disappeared after about one and a half years of regular treatment. There were phases in between when the disease would flare up a little due to seasonal changes; however, such phases were well controlled with treatment. Today, Deepak is a happy person who has not only gained back his confidence with treatment but has also become much more responsible by nature.
After trying all sorts of creams and ointments prescribed to her for acne, Meenal (name changed) noticed no major change in her acne and started looking for a lasting solution. She was visibly frustrated, because nothing seemed to improve her skin, when she decided to visit Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital for her treatment.
All of 19 years, Meenal had suddenly started facing acne problem since the last two years. She would develop painful, pustular eruptions on the face, back and chest, and these would keep cropping up without any significant reduction in intensity in spite of using various local applications. Meenal was quite frustrated and embarrassed about her pimples (acne), which would leave behind dark (hyperpigmented) spots/marks on her face.
She remarked during the case that this would annoy her a lot and make her feel helpless because she loved to be presentable but was unable to do so. She had started avoiding meeting people because she felt she looked ugly and would be questioned about the same.
Meenal also had a dandruff problem and there was a strong history of acne on her maternal side. Her appetite, bowel movements, sleep were all normal. She was fond of spicy foods and would always prefer chilled water for drinking. She was averse to okra.
In general, Meenal was a very friendly girl, always a leader in school with good communication skills; active participant in all school activities. She excelled in studies and always stood first in class.
Based on her history, she was prescribed her constitutional remedy by the consulting doctor at Dr H.M.Soni. Over a period of time, she showed excellent signs of improvement. The new breakouts of acne significantly reduced and the existing acne cleared up well. The dark (hyperpigmented) marks on her face also started fading gradually. She experienced significant relief from dandruff as well. With continued treatment for two years, Meenal got rid of her acne and today, she is a happy lady who presents herself with renewed confidence.
When 16-year-old Manju (name changed) visited our clinic, her two best friends, Asthalin and Budecort inhalers, accompanied her. They had been friends since the past five years and as the days were passing by, their friendship was getting stronger and stronger. Her parents were very much worried about this, as she was getting increasingly dependent on them.
Manju was diagnosed with asthma when she was a child. With conventional treatment, her asthma was almost in control when she was 10 years old. It resurfaced when her family shifted to Jaipur five years back. It was then that she was prescribed Asthalin and Budecort inhalers. The year before she consulted us, her family had relocated to Kanpur and the high levels of pollution at Kanpur made her asthma severe. She used to get the attack almost every night, especially after she finished her dinner. The attack would not subside unless she had taken her dose of asthalin and budecort inhalers.
During the case study, she mentioned that most of the times, the attack used to start as a simple cold, which later progressed to an episode of asthma. Sometimes she just used to get a sensation of tightness in her chest and breathlessness without any reason. She would not be able to eat or drink anything cold since it triggered the asthma episode. She had to avoid citrus fruits for the same reason.
Manju did not have any major illness in the past, except for recurrent episodes of asthma. Her maternal grandmother also had asthma.
In general, Manju had a normal appetite, except at the time of the asthma episode. She loved spicy food. She would sweat moderately on her underarms. Her thirst, bowels, urine were normal. The initial part of her sleep would be disturbed because of the asthma episodes.
Manju stayed with her parents and younger brother. She shared a cordial relationship with every one. She was friendly, caring and helpful by nature. These qualities made her popular among her friends. She never expected any favours in return. Manju had a very positive attitude towards life. She never let the asthma overcome her positive spirit any time. Because of her asthma, she was not able to get into any other activities, so she decided to put all her efforts in studies. This was the reason she could face the exams very confidently and come out with flying colours. Apart from studies, she enjoyed painting and travelling.
After a detailed case taking, the consulting doctor at Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital examined Manju. With the help of a peak flow metre, he measured her lung function. The test results were poor. Manju’s case was worked out by the consulting homeopathic physician and a constitutional medicine was prescribed to her. Along with the medicines, she was also suggested certain dietary changes and special breathing exercises were explained to her.
A few months after taking the medicine, Manju’s condition started improving gradually. The frequency and intensity of the episodes reduced. She was able to manage most of the asthma episodes without the inhalers, except for a couple of times when she required taking them. With continued treatment, her episodes of cold no longer progressed to episodes of asthma. Peak flow metre tests done to monitor her progress also showed improvement. Manju could now pursue other things of interest to her and no longer considered asthma as an impediment.
Within a span of eleven months, Manju was already feeling much better. However, considering that she had a family history of asthma, she was asked to continue the treatment for some more time. Her parents were extremely happy because Manju could finally let go of the inhalers, which had earlier become an inseparable part of her life.
After he recovered from an attack of cerebral malaria, Ratan Bajaj (name changed) started developing Rheumatoid arthritis. His elbows, knees, small joints of the hands and feet, all started getting stiff and painful.
The joint pain gradually worsened for this 55-year-old retired man and he was unable to walk, sit on the pan or even sleep properly. His whole body would ache and the intensity of pain was getting worse day by day. His complaints were aggravated from exposure to cold and damp weather whereas warmth would make him feel at ease. Although he had taken homeopathy for his complaints for some time, it had failed to offer him significant relief. Ratan had lost almost 14 kgs of weight in one and a half years on account of his illness.
General features like appetite, thirst and urination were normal. He had a liking for rice flakes and tea and was averse to cabbage. His perspiration was offensive. Bowel movement was unsatisfactory most of the times. Due to pain and stress from the disease, his sleep was disturbed. He would manage to sleep only for about three or four hours and would often dream about riding scooters, moving about happily, going to his work place, walking in the market, etc.
He stayed with his wife and three sons. Two of his sons were employed and his third son was studying. Ratan was previously working at a refractory plant and had retired four years ago. At his workplace, he always shared excellent relationship with seniors as well as subordinates.
His childhood had been difficult due to financial problems and he had toiled hard to get past this. After the birth of his sons, he had to struggle more to provide them with proper education.
Ratan described himself as a god-fearing person who never lied and always led a pious life without giving in to any vices. His condition made him very anxious and caused a lot of mental agony. Often, he would express his hopelessness by sobbing. He wondered if he would ever be able to lead a normal life again without being dependent on anyone else. Being sensitive, he was easily affected by praise as well as criticism. He was intolerant of any kind of quarrel at home and would get angry if anything happened.
Ratan had suffered from hydrocele in the past, which was treated with ayurvedic medicines. In addition, he also had typhoid, for which he had taken conventional medication. His father had prostate enlargement; besides this, there was no history of any other illness in his family.
The treating physician at Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital prescribed him his constitutional remedy, which he started taking regularly. Three months later, he reported feeling much better with the medicines, so much that he would now require painkillers only once or twice in a week, unlike daily as before. No longer bed-ridden, he had started walking within the house and his weight had also improved. The joint swelling was still persistent, although better than before. Another few months later, he could conveniently walk around. The pain in the joints was lesser than before. He gradually gained the weight he had lost earlier due to rheumatoid arthritis and his haemoglobin level also improved. An occasional dose of painkillers would still be required but he was no longer dependent on them. He was content with the fact that he could now move about without depending on anyone else for his basic daily activities.
Describing his state as ‘miserable’, Sumeet (name changed), all of 23 years, pleaded ‘I am dying, please save me’. He had been suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) that had reached a very critical stage.
About six years ago, he had undergone ileostomy for diverticulitis. Three months later, the ileostomy had been closed. It took him six or seven months to improve and he became almost normal, though somewhat underweight.
About five years after this, he was diagnosed with reflux esophagus with a Zenker’s diverticulum near the esophagus, and he started treatment for the same. This was when he started getting chronic diarrhoea.
The local doctors misdiagnosed it as food poisoning, amoebiasis, etc. initially. Finally, after a CT scan done in Lucknow, a gastroenterologist diagnosed it as IBS. He took conventional treatment for this for almost a year with no relief. On the other hand, he progressively worsened and started getting weaker over a period of time. Then he came to Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital, his loose motions had become very frequent, and he had constant gastritis and severe abdominal pain. His legs and feet swelled up and he was bed-ridden.
When he reported to us for treatment, he had the following symptoms:
constant loose motions daily – ranging from 4-12 times every single day;
can’t eat more than half a bread or chapatti, despite hunger;
can’t eat even the slightest spicy food;
constant heartburn and reflux;
bloating of abdomen;
vomiting daily morning;
fatigue even on talking;
puffy hands with swelling and no energy to do anything, not even get out of bed;
passing urine and stools in bed itself as he had no energy to get to the washroom;
lost around 20 kilograms of weight (he was already underweight previously); and
un-refreshing sleep in general.
His conventional treatment was going on when he reported to us. He kept saying that his life had become hell and he wanted us to save him from dying. He was severely depressed on account of all this and was sure he would die if not helped immediately. In addition, he also had protein intolerance and lactose malabsorption. He was an MBA student, but could seldom go to college on account of his illness. He had developed a lot of anxiety of late and had become aggressive due to his state. Burdened by constant stress due to his illness and due to his younger brother’s death in a train mishap, he was depressed.
He was described as having a great upbringing by his parents, with no difficulties with studies. He was studious, sincere, introvert as a child and a constant topper throughout his student life. A tendency to get very anxious and stressed before results, medical reports, etc., was a common phenomenon for him. People acting illogically would make him very angry and impulsive. He described his nature as being blunt; he could not do things just for the sake of pleasing others. He had great will power and determination, and that is how he overcame life threatening illnesses each time.
His treatment was started at Dr H.M. Soni Homoeopathic Hospital and the consulting doctor prescribed him constitutional treatment for his IBS. About two months after starting treatment, he had started to tolerate foods better than before and his weight improved slightly, though he was still weak. Treatment was continued on similar lines.
After another month, his father very pleasantly reported to us that the patient could now eat almost everything except milk and milk products, and had started moving about comfortably in the house. His stools had also been normalised to once or twice a day.
After about eight months of homeopathic treatment, his father said that his son had gained weight and was now enjoying food a lot more than before. He is very much grateful to Dr.H.M.Soni for bringing his son back to life. All reports of the patient are now normal except that his albumin is low, although much better than before. Overall, his health, physical as well as mental, is much better than before, and he is a healthy and satisfied man today.
