I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS) from MUHS (Maharashtra University of Health Sciences) University, India, in the year 2003. This included 4 years of medical training and 1 year of internship at Mumbadevi Homeopathic Hospital, Mumbai, India. Following this, I got a Diploma in Dietetics And Nutrition (DND) from the IOSM University, India.
I began my clinical practice in 2004. I believe in the concept of family practice and treatment from very young to very old. I've held free homeopathic consultation and medicine camps at my home Parish (St. Francis Xavier Church, Vile Parle, Mumbai India). I helped set-up the charitable homeopathic clinic at Sacred Heart Church, Andheri, Mumbai, India and practiced there. My family and extended family help and support me in all my ventures. It is with their love, support and blessings that I'm able to continue my perusal for homeopathic practice here in the United States as well.
Homeopathy is very well known for chronic diseases; however very few know that it also shows excellent results in acute conditions such as colds and flu, diarrhea, rashes etc. My clinical practice began in the suburbs of Mumbai city, India where I consulted with parents, their children and grandparents. This helped me in turn become their Homeopathic Family Physician. I strongly believe that homeopathy can help all ages and not only chronic but also acute diseases/conditions. By strengthening your inner immune system it keeps acute ailments at bay and gives you the strength to fight long-standing ailments (such as arthritis, skin conditions, respiratory conditions etc.).
And it need not be taken alone,it can be used alongside conventional medicine when necessary to give an integrated approach to your healthcare examples of which include diabetes, hypertension etc.
Case:
A 44year old man visited the clinic with the chief complaint of skin problems. He had skin peeling off of his palms with some deep and superficial cracks. Water-proof bandaids were around his finger nails. He had cracks running between his fingers. He mentioned his previous visits to a skin specialist who had confirmed this as ‘palmo-plantar psoriasis’ and he had been treated in the past with oral steroids and local applications. The patient had also tried Ayurvedic therapy and had turned to homeopathy as a last resort.
Restless, perfectionist, easily angered if things did not go his way, status conscious, jealous, taking refuge in alcohol.
I decided to go with Nux vomica in this case. I gave the patient three dose of 200c potency to be taken at night only for three consecutive nights
In the client's own words
In the second week I saw some improvement and the cracks seemed to heal up. The healing was faster than I expected cause it usually does not happen so fast except if I was on steroids. As you’d suggested I had not applied any lotions and even band-aids to my cracking palm which was not easy to do. My children are quite concerned and do not like to look at my hands. But see now….it’s gone….it’s clean…..three weeks later my old cracks had healed and there were new ones coming but they were not deep and they were not painful. My hands as of today look good as they did before.
My assessment based on this information was that the Nux vomica had helped the patient. There was a noted aggravation initially and later the skin affections started healing. The newer cracks seemed to be manageable. With his family and financial situation under control this seemed to be a solved case at that moment. Psoriasis is not an affection that disappears forever and trigger points do exist. I asked the patient to continue to see me in a month’s time and as of now he did not need further medication.

Patty Regalia
Patty Regalia was born in San Francisco and raised in Marin County where she now lives. Her latest experience with preschool children couples with a passion for preventing disease, gave her the incentive to study homeopathic medicine. During her teaching years she realized that too many children were put on antibiotics for ear infections and knew they could be treated with safe non-toxic medicines to not only prevent ear infections but to cure them permanently. She focus her practice on children but also enjoys working with adults dealing with complex and chronic ailments as well as acute
Patty is a doctor of Homeopathic medicine (HD) and medical Heilkunst, providing her with many tools to find the causes of acute and chronic diseases. She uses the sequential timeline that was created to look at each individual's specific shocks and traumas including drugs, vaccines, surgeries and emotional traumas. The timeline is treated in the reverse order (backwards, from the present to birth/conception and into the inherited predispositions).
This is a highly effective roadmap that assures Patty that the path every patient takes is individual and accurate. To complete the system of remediation Patty also looks at the individual's diet using nutritional typologies based on biochemical individuality, exercise, supplements, hormones, and traumas both physical and emotional to clear any blockages. This system was created by Dr. Hahnemann, which he called Heilkunst, or the art of restoring health.

Skin Case:
Bob, a 17-year-old youth, had been afflicted with acne since puberty. He had pustules on his face, neck and upper back. His acne flared up from eating sweets, hot weather and sweating. During the initial visit I discovered that Bob was a mouth breather during sleep, craved sweets and spicy foods, perspired easily, was constipated, had an intense personality and was afraid of heights. After two months and three doses of the homeopathic remedy Sulphur, Bob’s skin became 50% clearer. After six months of homeopathic treatment, his skin further improved by 90%. In the process, he was no longer constipated and rarely craved sweets.
Whether your skin disorder is a result of an allergic reaction, infection, hormonal imbalance or sugar metabolism, the cause can be attributed to an impaired immune function. Homeopathy treats many types of skin disorders by strengthening the immune system. In fact, given its unique approach to prescribing remedies (based on the totality of symptoms) the label of your condition is irrelevant. Whether you are suffering from acne, eczema, depression or menopausal discomforts, a homeopath will take the same approach in discovering the distinctive set of symptoms you are experiencing and combine it with your personality traits in order to find a remedy which will initiate the healing process.
One woman’s chronic hives in the front of her body were healed with the remedy Pulsatilla, while another woman with similar hives required Apis. A teen with recurrent warts on his left hand benefited from the remedy Thuja.
Homeopathy aims to heal the entire organism in the physical, mental and emotional realms. Treating one organ at a time, such as your skin, will not result in a permanent cure. A person who takes prescription medication for high blood pressure every day is not undergoing a cure, but is only controlling and suppressing the symptoms. Similarly, applying cortisone cream on your skin will not result in healing. If the medication is withdrawn, the illness returns. In contrast, homeopathic remedies address the underlying cause of illness by helping to stimulate the body’s own healing mechanism. The aim is to return to a healthy state and stop depending on medications, natural or otherwise.
When seeking homeopathic help for your skin troubles, don’t be surprised to experience an improvement in your moods, motivation and energy levels. In fact, in most cases, the emotions improve before physical ailments begin to disappear.

Delilah Raybee
I decided to become a homeopath after seeing a homeopath for help with allergies. At the time, my son was two years old and I wanted to go back to work but not to my previous career. Besides having allergies, I was feeling stuck. I didn’t know when I went to the homeopath that my remedy would address this in addition to my physical health. The homeopathic remedy not only cleared my blocked sinuses but also allowed me to consider new possibilities for my career. If I was going to consider a new career, why not become a homeopath so I could help others access the deep healing I had just experienced. As luck would have it, a new class was just beginning at the Berkeley Institute of Homeopathy. I completed the 3-year certificate program in classical homeopathy in 2015. The program offers a solid grounding in the history, theory, and practice of Homeopathy. In addition to homeopathic training, I bring my experience in the social sciences (Masters in Public Administration), nonprofit management, and a lifetime of caring for others to the consulting room. I’m also a returned Peace Corps volunteer (Ukraine, 2003-05).
I look forward to joining you on your healing journey.
Eczema and Rash with Anxiety
In this case the client was a 37 year-old woman seeking treatment for a variety of skin conditions. “I am sensitive, like the canary in the coal shaft. If there is a toxin, I will react, usually through a skin rash,” she described. In addition to rashes, she suffers from eczema and cold sores. She is better when she avoids eating dairy, and worse when she is pregnant. At the time of treatment she is pregnant with her second child.
The client described her emotional life in this way, “My go-to emotion is anxiety. It is the first layer of response. There is a chronic, underlying anxiety or stress of life. I try to control circumstances by having a plan.” The cold sores and other skin symptoms bothered her because of the way they look, but she was also concerned with passing them on to her children, especially the cold sores.
This client was given a remedy called graphites, made from graphite, or black lead. In cases that are helped by this remedy, the physical pathology is often on the skin. The type of anxiety experienced by this client is also typical for cases helped by this remedy.
In the period immediately following the remedy, she did not have another cold sore or another rash. Some months later, she did get a cold and had a cold sore. However, the cold sores did not recur as they previously had. As for the anxiety, she decided to try to let go of more emotionally. She realized that she was trying to hold everything together for everyone else, which she realized she couldn’t do. She also hasn’t had any eczema outbreaks for at least six months following the remedy.
