Aphorism 100-102 is dealing with the treatment of epidemic diseases.
According to Dr.Hahnemann, a carefully observing physician can arrive
so nearly at knowledge of the true state of the epidemic from the
examination of even the first and second patients and can even find a
suitable homoeopathic remedy for it. Dr. Hahnemann recommends
investigating each epidemic disease as a new and unknown case and
selecting medicine according to its symptom similarity.
Homoeopathy has a very good scope in the treatment of chikungunya.
Initially indicated acute remedies may give relief which may be
followed by constitutional remedy in order to get rid of post fever
arthralgia

include medicines like Eupatorium-perf, Pyroginum, Rhus-tox, Cedron,

of the case. In Andhrapradesh medicines such as Eupatorium200 &
