When I was studying Homoeopathy (1986-1992), we found so many medicines in
our homoeopathic materia medica on sleep patterns, sleep deprivation & sleep related
indispositions. Currently, the sleep medicine has become the toast of the world of medicine
& the current short communication helps the readers to have the taste of the toast through the
homoeopathic approach.1,2,3
During my student days, we were taught one acronym to comprehend the sleep medicine or
indisposition due to lack of adequate sleep in an individual. The acronym was for 5 medicines
that apply to sleep medicine. The acronym was C3N2 meaning the names of the drugs which
are ‘Causticum’, ‘Cocculus’, ‘Colchicum’, ‘Nux Vomica’ & ‘Nitric Acid’. These have become the
torch bearers of sleep medicine in homoeopathic therapeutics currently.2,3
The current short communication touches upon the subject of sleep through its historical
development to its modern shape. It discusses the homoeopathic approach towards sleep
medicine. Finally, the short communication emphasizes upon integration of homoeopathy
of AYUSH in the current NCD profile out of which sleep medicine is an active component.
One of the ideas that the short communication banks upon is the integration of homoeopathy
of AYUSH in the currently operational Ayushman Arogya Mandir (AAM), the successor of
Health & Wellness Centers (HWC).
