Abstract:

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a rare autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the peripheral nerves, leading to muscle weakness that can progress rapidly. Symptoms range from mild weakness to severe paralysis, potentially affecting breathing and vital functions. While GBS can be life-threatening, most individuals recover, though some may experience lasting weakness [1].

This case report describes a 45-year-old female who developed GBS following diarrhea and respiratory infection, experiencing limb weakness, body pain, acidity, constipation, and psychological distress. After a month of allopathic treatment with limited improvement, homeopathic intervention with Gelsemium sempervirens 200C was initiated. Gradual recovery was observed in muscle strength, pain relief, and emotional well-being. This case suggests the potential role of individualized homeopathy in GBS management, warranting further study.
