  • Abstract:
  • Background: Warts (verrucae) are benign epidermal proliferations caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). While conventional treatments like cryotherapy or cauterization are common, they are often associated with pain and high recurrence rates. Homoeopathy offers a non-invasive, individualized approach, viewing warts as local expressions of internal miasmatic imbalances, specifically sycosis. Objective: To evaluate the clinical applicability of J.T. Kent’s Repertory of the Homoeopathic Materia Medica in selecting individualized medicines for the management of cutaneous warts and to assess their effectiveness in achieving resolution. Methods: A prospective, open-label, observational study was conducted at Adarsh Homoeopathic Hospital attached Ananya College of Homoeopathy, Kalol, Gujarat. Patients presenting with various morphological types of warts were enrolled. Case analysis followed Kentian principles, prioritizing mental and physical generals to form a totality. Individualized medicines were selected via Kent’s Repertory and administered in centesimal potencies (e.g., 30C, 200C, 1M). Progress was documented through clinical photography and symptom regression over a 6-month follow-up period. Results: Clinical evidence from 2025–2026 suggests that a high percentage of patients (approximately 80–90%) experience complete resolution of lesions within 2 to 4 months. Most frequently indicated remedies identified through Kent’s Repertory include Thuja occidentalis, Causticum, Antimonium crudum, Dulcamara, and Natrum muriaticum. No significant adverse effects or recurrences were noted during the follow-up period.
