Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disorder prevalent among the elderly, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Conventional management primarily offers symptomatic relief, highlighting the need for individualized and holistic therapeutic approaches. 
Case Summary: This case series presents three female patients aged 63, 65, and 66 years suffering from bilateral knee OA for 3–5 years. Each case was analyzed using the Homoeopathic Medical Repertory (HMR) to determine individualized prescriptions based on characteristic mental and physical symptoms. Pulsatilla Nigricans, Bryonia Alba and Calcarea Carbonicum were prescribed according to totality and susceptibility, along with auxiliary measures like mild exercises and postural care.
Result and Conclusion: Patient progress was assessed objectively using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC). The overall improvement ranged between 59% and 63%, indicating notable relief in pain, stiffness, and physical function. These outcomes highlight the therapeutic potential of individualized homoeopathic management guided by HMR and support its integration into clinical practice for chronic degenerative conditions like OA.
