  • Abstract:
  • Burn injuries are among the most challenging cases encountered in everyday clinical practice. This case report presents a 65-year-old male patient who sustained an accidental second-degree partial-thickness burn injury over the right lower leg. The patient complained of severe burning pain, itching, redness, swelling, serous discharge, and restricted movement of the affected limb. Initial conventional treatment did not provide satisfactory improvement. Homoeopathic management was initiated with Echinacea 30 orally along with Echinacea dressing for the first 3 days, followed by Calendula 30 orally with Calendula dressing for 4 days, and a single dose of Cantharis 200. Marked improvement was observed within 7 days, with healthy granulation tissue formation, reduction in pain and inflammation, and progressive wound healing. The Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homoeopathy (MONARCH) score was 9, indicating a probable causal relationship between the homoeopathic intervention and clinical improvement.
