Background: Acute gastrointestinal collapse, characterised by simultaneous vomiting and diarrhoea immediately after food intake, can rapidly progress to dehydration, hypovolemia, and circulatory failure. While conventional medicine emphasises fluid and electrolyte management, individualised homoeopathic treatment aims to restore systemic equilibrium through symptom similarity and dynamic stimulation of vital response.

Case Summary: A 45-year-old female presented with violent vomiting and diarrhoea triggered immediately after ingestion of any food or drink, accompanied by marked prostration, coldness, dizziness, drowsiness, and pallor. The case was analysed based on the totality of symptoms and repertorial evaluation, leading to sequential administration of Veratrum album 200C, Carbo vegetabilis 200C, and China officinalis 200C. Each remedy was introduced according to the evolving symptomatology and stage of recovery. Clinical parameters and patient-reported outcomes were recorded at predefined intervals. Remarkable clinical improvement was observed within 48 hours, and full recovery was achieved without recurrence.

Conclusion: This case demonstrates the potential scope of homoeopathy in acute emergencies when remedies are selected according to totality and administered with careful stage-wise evaluation. Further controlled research that incorporates objective biomarkers is recommended to strengthen evidence for clinical application.
