Post-COVID-19 immune evolution: Unraveling the roles of the hygiene hypothesis and homeopathy
Author(s): Himani Shah and CS Sharma
Abstract: The hygiene hypothesis proposes that reduced microbial exposure in early life contributes to the rise of allergic, autoimmune, and inflammatory disorders. This theory has been widely supported by epidemiological and immunological research, demonstrating the essential role of microbial interactions in shaping immune tolerance. There is post COVID-19 increase in chronic inflammatory diseases. In parallel, Homoeopathy, a complementary medical system based on the principle of "like cures like" and highly diluted substances, has been explored for its potential immunomodulatory effects. While modern immunology attributes immune regulation to microbial diversity and immune training, Homoeopathy proposes that ultra-diluted remedies can influence the body's self-healing mechanisms. This article critically examines the hygiene hypothesis, its immunological foundations, and possible intersections with Homoeopathy based on existing scientific literature.
