A 43-years-old lady from Gujarat, Mrs. S.D.L. (PIN: 23161) registered with us online on 18th July 2014 for her ailment of Oral Lichen Planus.
The patient was suffering from Oral Lichen Planus since 2010. There were patches present on the tongue, and both the buccal mucosa (inner cheeks) had white streaks and black patches. She used to experience burning pain while eating even mildly spicy food.
The patient mentioned that stress could be the reason for her triggers. There was tension between the patient and her in-laws, as it was an inter-caste marriage.
The patient also mentioned that in the past she had Tuberculosis of glands and had 27 glands removed. There was also an auto-immune disease history running in her family like Diabetes and IHD.
The patient had taken Ayurvedic treatment for two months. The patient used to follow a simple vegetarian diet.
This case was studied in detail and Dr. Rajesh Shah's research-based molecules were prescribed to the patient for two months. On the very first follow-up on 23rd June 2015, the patient had experienced a 30% improvement in her condition.
In the next follow-ups, the patient had developed some new eruptions. On her third follow-up on 17th Oct 2015, the patient had experienced a 30% improvement in her relief from the condition. On the fourth follow-up on 17th Dec 2015, the patient’s recovery from the condition had experienced a 50% improvement.
The patient was 50% better than prior for many months. In the follow-up on 20th Sept 2016, the patient mentioned that the disease was in control, and no new eruptions had appeared. On 4th June 2018, the patient reported that she is 60% better.
On 14th August 2018, the patient was 80% better. Even though a little burning pain on eating spicy food was present, she could tolerate mild/medium spicy food now. The patient is still with us on a maintaining dose and is doing good.
Conclusion:
This case highlights that Lichen Planus is a very stubborn disease, and, when it affects the oral cavity, it is all the more difficult to treat because of the sensitive nature of the inner lining of the oral cavity. But, with Homeopathy, you get a great relief in a gentle way in most complaints successfully and safely without any side-effects.
