Abstract: This study evaluates the pathophysiological as well as dynamic action of homoeopathic medicine Carica papaya Q and 30 C in treating iron deficiency anemia. 30 individuals with iron Deficiency anemia were selected and divided into 2 groups (group A and group B) of 15 individuals each. Group A and B were given Carica papaya Q and 30 C respectively twice daily for 2 months. The Hb%, MCV and MCH were assessed twice, once before medication and once after 2 months of medication. The data was observed and analyzed using ANOVA. After 2 months of medication of Carica papaya Q and 30C, the Hb% showed an increase of 0.6 gm/dl and 0.4 gm/dl of mean value respectively, the MCV showed an increase of 2.5fl and 2.2 fl of mean value respectively and the MCH showed an increase of 1.6pg 1.7pg of mean value respectively.
