Erythrodermic Psoriasis

Psoriasis

Erythrodermic Psoriasis is a rare, severe form of psoriasis involving widespread redness, scaling, and inflammation of most of the body’s surface. It can be life-threatening due to fluid loss, infection, or temperature imbalance. In homeopathy, treatment focuses on restoring immune balance and reducing systemic inflammation. Remedies like Arsenicum Album, Sulphur, and Rhus Toxicodendron are often considered based on symptoms. Early intervention and holistic management are crucial for recovery and prevention of relapses.

Status Asthmaticus

Asthma

Status asthmaticus is a severe, life-threatening asthma attack that does not respond to standard inhaler therapy.
It is characterized by extreme wheezing, persistent shortness of breath, chest tightness, and hypoxia.
