Dr. Alexey A. Ermolov presents a case of erythematous erysipelas of the face and head in a woman of 47. Erysipelas that spreads from the head to the face was a keynote that led to the simillimum.
A 47-old female patient suffered from erysipelas. Complaints included: severe weakness, anxiety, hallucinations, febrile fever, facial swelling and erythema, muscle pains and gastro-intestinal tract disorder. A detailed analysis and remedy differentiation revealed the homeopathic remedy Opium 30CH as indicated.
The repeated intake of the remedy helped the patient get rid of all the bothering symptoms. This result supports the need for further, more extensive studies evaluating individualized homeopathic treatment of erysipelas cases.
