A 52-year-old male patient, Mr. A.P. from the USA (LFMPL PIN: 23317) was suffering from lichen planus since January 2015. He was going through tremendous stress due to divorce litigation which triggered his lichen planus. He had small-sized reddish, purplish lesions in the armpit, arms, wrist, chest, and on his genitals. He didn't experience any itching. He was using Imiquimod Cream which belongs to a group of drugs called immune-response modifiers. Through his online search, he found Dr. Shah’s website and started online treatment in June 2015.

He was an investment manager and was staying alone after divorce.

After studying his case history in detail, Dr. Shah prescribed KALI IOD 30 six pills twice a day for 4 months.

Follow-Ups:

After 8 weeks of medicines, in August 2015, he was almost 70% better. His eruptions had flattened and dried with no recurrence nor occurrence of any new lesions.

In October 2015, after 4 months of treatment, all his eruptions had settled down and his skin was restored with the normal skin color. No new eruptions had appeared. All his lesions of Lichen Planus had regressed.

Mr. A.P. is very happy and satisfied with the treatment. He approached once again to Life Force Homeopathy for the treatment of his complaints of Tinea in July 2019.

Conclusion:

Psychological stress has been responsible for the development of various autoimmune diseases, such as lichen planus. Homeopathy treatment aims to figure out and treat the root cause of the disease and triggering factors and treats the disease accordingly, thus it helps to restore the body’s equilibrium of the immune system to normal state naturally. Thus, homeopathy may help to recover from autoimmune diseases. Homeopathy is highly effective in treating lichen planus successfully and safely without any side-effects.
