Abstract :

The present paper reviews various studies envisaging the role of homoeopathy as an immune modulator. Homeopathic medicine and immunology both are conceptually linked. Homoeopathy is evidentially suggestive of beneficial in boosting the immunological responses in conditions from allergies to neoplasms. Homoeopathic treatment suggest to have stimulatory and co-stimulatory effects in immunological processes including hematological parameters like total and differential leukocyte count proliferation, hemoglobin count with hematopoietic parameters like bone marrow cellularity, inflammatory processes, CRP value, phagocytosis, fibrosis, CD4+ & CD8+ count along with boost in immunoglobulin titers. Various research experiments suggest homoeopathic immunotherapies to have an immune modulatory effect of endogenous substances like thymulin, cytokines, histamines, and immunoglobulins (endoisotherapy). Also homoeopathic preparations from common allergens, agents causing influenza, Leptospirosis, Tuberculosis, Vibrio parahemolyticus and Vibrio alginolyticus, cancer cells have been observed to be effective in generating an Immune modulating response. Homoeopathic medicines causes immune modulating changes through gene expression modulation, stimulation of macrophages, chemotaxis of polymorph nuclear cells and production of cytokines.
Keywords – Homoeopathy, cytokines, Immuno-modulation, Immunotherapy.
