Patient Background
A 48-year-old female patient (Registration Number: ABG-03) visited Homeo Care Clinic with a long-standing and distressing oral condition that had significantly affected her quality of life for several years. Her primary complaint was painful cracked lesions on the buccal mucosa on both sides of the mouth, accompanied by a cracked, ulcer-like lesion on the tongue. These symptoms had been persistent since 2014, gradually worsening over time.
By the time she approached the clinic, the condition had progressed to a point where she experienced severe burning pain inside the mouth, making it difficult to swallow food. Eating had become a painful task rather than a basic necessity. Along with physical discomfort, she reported loss of taste sensation, reduced appetite, and complete disinterest in food. Spicy or warm foods were intolerable, and even simple meals caused discomfort.
Long Medical History and Treatment Failure
Over the years, the patient had consulted multiple specialists and explored various treatment options, including allopathic medicines, Ayurvedic therapies, and earlier homeopathic interventions. Unfortunately, none of these approaches provided lasting relief. Temporary suppression of symptoms was followed by recurrence, often with increased severity.
Given the chronic nature of her symptoms and the non-healing oral lesions, a biopsy was performed to rule out oral cancer. The biopsy results were negative for malignancy, which brought relief, but also left the patient with unanswered questions regarding her condition and its management.
By 2019, after years of unsuccessful treatments and emotional exhaustion, she decided to discontinue all medications. Living with constant pain, altered taste, and difficulty eating became her new normal. The condition not only affected her physical health but also had a significant emotional and psychological impact. Social interactions involving food were avoided, and her confidence gradually declined.
Turning Point: Visit to Homeo Care Clinic Magarpatta, Pune
In early February 2021, through a personal reference, the patient learned about Homeo Care Clinic and decided to give treatment one final chance. She visited the clinic on 8th February 2021 with cautious hope but minimal expectations due to her past experiences.
At the clinic, a detailed case-taking process was conducted by Dr. Vaseem Choudhary, focusing not only on her oral symptoms but also on her overall physical constitution, emotional state, food preferences, stress levels, and disease progression over the years. This holistic evaluation is a core principle of homeopathic treatment for oral lichen planus, especially in chronic and resistant cases.
Based on the complete symptom picture and individual susceptibility, Dr. Choudhary prescribed constitutional homeopathic medicines, tailored specifically to her condition rather than offering a generalized treatment approach.
Follow-Up and Response to Treatment
The patient was advised to follow the treatment strictly and report any changes, even minor ones. Remarkably, within 10 days of starting the homeopathic medicines, she began noticing visible improvements.
By the first follow-up on 16th March 2021, after one month of treatment, the progress was significant and encouraging:
-
The burning sensation in the mouth had reduced considerably
-
The cracked lesions on the buccal mucosa showed clear signs of healing
-
Sensitivity to food, especially spicy and warm items, had decreased
-
Pain while swallowing had reduced, allowing her to eat more comfortably
-
Taste sensation started returning gradually
Most notably, within one month, the patient reported nearly 99% relief from her symptoms. The lesions had almost completely healed, and the chronic cracks that troubled her for years were no longer painful or inflamed.
Restoration of Normal Life
As the healing progressed, the patient regained her confidence and emotional well-being. She was able to eat all types of food, including spicy dishes, without fear or discomfort. Meals once again became enjoyable rather than stressful. Her appetite improved, and her overall energy levels increased.
Beyond physical healing, the treatment brought a sense of relief and reassurance that her condition could be managed safely and effectively. The absence of side effects further strengthened her trust in homeopathy for chronic oral lichen planus treatment.
Clinical Insight
This case is a strong example of how homeopathic treatment for oral lichen planus can be effective even in long-standing, treatment-resistant cases. The success was not based on symptomatic suppression but on individualized constitutional prescribing, addressing the root cause of the disease.
Oral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory condition often associated with immune dysregulation and stress. Conventional treatments may provide temporary relief but often fail to deliver sustained improvement. Homeopathy, by working at a deeper level, helps restore balance and supports the body’s natural healing response.
Conclusion
This case demonstrates that homeopathy can play a significant role in managing chronic oral conditions like lichen planus safely and effectively. The patient’s journey—from years of suffering and failed treatments to rapid improvement and restored quality of life—highlights the importance of a holistic, patient-centered approach.
Under the guidance of Dr. Vaseem Choudhary at Homeo Care Clinic, the patient experienced remarkable healing without any side effects. This case reinforces the potential of constitutional homeopathic medicine for oral lichen planus, offering hope to patients who feel they have exhausted all other options.
For individuals struggling with non-healing mouth ulcers, burning mouth syndrome, or chronic oral lichen planus, this case serves as a reminder that effective and gentle treatment is possible when the focus is on the individual, not just the disease.
