Abstract

This study is focussed on the impacts of climate change on health, specifically focusing on temperature variations and proposing homeopathic solutions. Climate change, recognized as a critical issue of the 21st century, has wide-ranging effects on human health, including direct impacts such as heat-related illnesses and deaths, as well as indirect effects like increased prevalence of vector-borne diseases and food shortages. Vulnerable groups, including the elderly, are especially at risk. This review article highlights regional impacts in countries like Australia and India, where heat waves and temperature variability have led to significant mortality and morbidity. The study also examines the connections between environmental degradation, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change. In homeopathy, the source of healing is the nature itself. Numerous pieces of evidence demonstrate the impact of homeopathy on animals and plants, indicating its potential for large-scale ecological healing beyond just human applications. A healthy community relies on efforts to protect the environment and ensure patient safety, contributing to the conservation of water and energy and the prevention of air, water, and land pollution. Homeopathy offers a profound framework for understanding the relationship between human illnesses and healing through natural substances This study introduces homeopathic remedies such as Bryonia, Dulcamara, and others, suggesting their potential efficacy in mitigating health impacts associated with climate variations

Keywords: Climate Change, Impacts on Health, Homoeopathic Remedies.
