Scope of Homoeopathy in case of kidney disease Homoeopathic treatment can further halt the disease progress by giving medicines at the dispositional level (after understanding the person as a whole –understanding what factors would have lead to the disease in concordance with his personality ) so that the body’s own kidney is stimulated to carry out the function and make the person free of dialysis.
