In the patient's words:

I did not want to go for surgery for the swelling on my wrist (Ganglion) and Dr. J. Shah assured me it would go away without any surgery. I am glad the swelling is gone completely with Homeopathic medicines for ganglion cure.

Female/ 32 years
Diagnosis: Left wrist Ganglion

32 year old lady, Mrs. R.S., reported to us with complaints of a swelling on the dorsal aspect of her wrist since 7 months. The swelling had been progressively increasing in size and it had been diagnosed as ganglion. The ganglion was occasionally painful and the pain would be worse from touch, movement and after washing clothes.

She also had complaints of

• Hair loss
• Pigmentation on the face since many years.

Mrs. RS had spent her childhood in a village. She came from a big family; they were four sisters and one brother; her father did not pay much attention to her during childhood. After marriage, she came to Mumbai and got settled here. She would get angry easily from contradiction; she would shout when angry. If she would be hurt about something, she would remember it for a long time and would not be able to forget it. She had marked fear of death and fear of staying alone.

Her appetite was normal, and she had a marked desire for eggs and spicy food. She had thirst for large quantities of water. She would be more comfortable in cold climate and could not tolerate much heat.

Mrs. RS sleep was disturbed and she would get many dreams of dead bodies, funerals, fights, etc. She would frequently have frightful dreams. She would have pain in the abdomen before her menses and leucorrhoea that was whitish.

P/H- Typhoid in childhood and had no other health problems apart from this.

Based on the above history, she was prescribed Calcarea fluor 6X for her ganglion. A week later, there was no change in the size of the ganglion though the pain was lesser now. Her complaints of leucorrhoea were better and her sleep was sound with lesser dreams now. Another 10 days later, her ganglion started reducing in size and gradually got smaller. Another 3 weeks of medication saw her ganglion disappear almost completely. She was very glad that she was able to avoid surgery for the ganglion and that it resolved so safely and surely with Homeopathic medicines.

Note: It is advisable that the patient does not indulge in any kind of self-medication in ganglion cases.
