Abstract :
The plant is primarily used to make
colchicine, which is used therapeutically to cure gout and
in experiments with cellular chromosomes. In cases of
familial Mediterranean fever, hepatic cirrhosis, primary
biliary cirrhosis, and chronic progressive multiple
sclerosis, it is utilised as adjuvant therapy. Examples of
skin problems include primary amyloidosis, Behçet
illness, pseudo-gout, psoriasis, Palmo-plantar pustulosis,
and Dermatitis Herpetiformis.
Aims and Objective-
The purpose of this study and summary of the
literature on homoeopathic medicine's use of colchicum
and colchicine.
Methodology –
Relevant books and research articles have been
extracted from different databases, including as
PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, Science
direct, Theme-E-Journal of homoeopathy. Search terms
were ‘Colchicum & Homoeopathy, Colchicine,
Pharmacology and colchicum, Action of Colchicine,
Inflammation and colchicum, Alternative system of
medicine, Toxicity of colchicine, Various homoeopathic
materia medica books were searched and the data of
colchicum Autumnale in inflammation and gout was
mentioned.
Conclusion-
This narrative review concludes that homoeopathic
medicine colchicum Autumnale is effective in muscular
skeletal system likes gout, joint pain, fibrous tissues etc,
it continues to be a preferred medication for the
management of acute gouty arthritis. It works well to
treat inflammation brought on by crystals. It needs to be
specified in Joint inflammatory diseases. No fatal toxicity
was observed. Requirement of dose is less in colchicum
Autumnale than colchicine. Overdoses on colchicine are
quite uncommon. but have high mortality requiring
rapid treatment.
Keywords :
