Background: Psychosomatic illness that bears deep emotional dissonance is not ordinarily easy to cure in any medical intervention because there is no identifiable pathology. The Sensation-Oriented Homeopathy developed by Dr. Rajan Sankaran has an individualistic strategy which studies the utilization of symbolic, metaphoric expressions and vital sensations in identifying medications.
Objective: To record and assess therapeutic transformation of a female patient through the Sensation Method of homeopathy which has a prescription of Nelumbo nucifera for chronic vertigo, emotional suppression and psychosomatic symptoms.
Case Presentation: A 38-year-old female patient came with chronic vertigo, emotional numbness, PCOD, and psychosomatic symptoms. Her expressive metaphors (e.g., floating, rhythmic breath, light within), pointed to themes of being detached and spiritually longing. A specific classical case-taking technique and symbolic analysis pointed out the vital sensations that go with the plant kingdom particularly the Nymphaeaceae family.
Intervention: On sensation analysis, thematic mapping, and repertorisation, Nelumbo nucifera 200C was prepared. The archetypal images of blossoming, rhythmic peace and divine silence in the patient were taken into consideration during the remedy selection.
Results: First Follow-up (2 months): Significant vertigo, emotional balance, and stamina improvement; low residual joint pains. Second Follow-up (3 months): Full emotional stabilization, increased vitality, and strong images of inner peace and being at one with nature.
Conclusion: This case justifies the application of the Sensation Method using Nelumbo nucifera in controlling complicated psychosomatic and emotional disorders. It is a clear indication on how sensation-based prescribing can bring significant inner healing, and in that ability, it calls for further clinical investigations into lesser-known remedy such as Nelumbo nucifera for personalized treatment.
