Lichen Planus Treatment in Homeopathy

A research study was conducted at the Department of Oral Medicine, Tehran University of Medical Sciences to evaluate the effectiveness of Ignatia 30C (a homeopathic drug) in the management of oral lichen planus. In this randomized control clinical trial, 30 consecutive patients with oral lesions, detected clinically and histologically with erosive and/or atrophic oral lichen planus, were recruited. At the end of four months, the authors concluded that Ignatia has a beneficial effect in oral lichen planus treatment on selected patients.

Homeopathic medicine for lichen planus is prescribed to the patient after considering the medical history of the patient, the temperament, and other factors of the patient.
