A successful experiment by a group of homoeopathy specialists in the districts of Raigarh and Janjgir-Champa in treating leprosy patients have raised hopes for millions of patients afflicted with the disease globally.
The doctors had conducted tests of homoeopathic medicines for treatment of the patients at the instance of Chief Minister Raman Singh, according to an official Press release issued here on Thursday. The allopathy medicines although had been curing the leprosy patients barring the fact that the sensitivity of the affected part was not restored. However, the specialists who carried out the experiments using the homoeopathy medicines with the joint assistance of Indian Association for leprosy Prevention and Society for the Welfare of the handicapped persons have brought back the sensitivity in the affected parts while even curtailing the spread of deformities which go with the disease.
The homoeopathy medicines were tested on patients by the specialists under their close supervision with two drops of the medicine administered to them every week for a year.
