Pediatric case taking poses unique challenges in homoeopathic practice as young children often cannot verbally express their symptoms. This study explores the utility of observing body language along with miasmatic analysis in pediatric cases to enhance case taking and remedy selection. A prospective clinical study was conducted on 30 pediatric cases aged 0-6 years. Cases were analyzed based on body language observations, miasmatic evaluation, and standard homoeopathic principles. The results showed significant improvement in 73.33% cases and complete recovery in 23.33% cases, demonstrating that systematic observation of body language combined with miasmatic understanding helps in gathering characteristic symptoms and selecting the simillimum. This approach is particularly valuable in pediatric cases where verbal communication is limited.
