Nosodes, derived from pathological materials, represent one of the most distinctive classes of homoeopathic remedies. Historically, their use has been reported in both prophylaxis during epidemics and as therapeutic agents in chronic and acute diseases. This review explores existing literature on nosodes, focusing on their preventive promise and therapeutic potential. Studies indicate their application in homoeoprophylaxis, intercurrent prescription, management of miasmatic blocks, and even as alternatives in cases of antibiotic resistance. While clinical reports and provings demonstrate positive outcomes, concerns regarding standardization, reproducibility, and robust evidence persist. This article emphasizes the need for further scientific validation, standardized protocols, and expanded clinical trials to strengthen the role of nosodes in contemporary homoeopathic practice.
