Abstract
This study examined the impact of extended face mask use on frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and assessed the efficacy of homeopathic treatment in managing associated symptoms. The study was conducted as soon as the lockdown was declared. The research focused on frontline workers aged 25-50 who routinely wore masks for over 6 hours. Initially, participants completed a questionnaire to grade the severity of their symptoms. Subsequently, they received homeopathic treatment based on individual symptoms, with follow-up assessments conducted every 15 days. After two follow-up sessions, participants once again graded their symptoms using the questionnaire. Statistical analysis unveiled a remarkably significant reduction in symptoms with homeopathic intervention. In conclusion, this study showed how significantly homoeopathy can help frontline workers with the symptoms associated with prolonged mask use. Since there have been no earlier clinical trials evaluating the possibility of homoeopathic remedies in these circumstances, this research is notable for being the first of its type. Homeopathy's individualized approach, found on the "Similia Similibus Curantur" principle, seemed to provide significant relief from the physiological and pathological burdens brought on by extended mask use. This provides a potential strategy for managing the health issues experienced by frontline workers during the pandemic, enhancing their general wellbeing and productivity at work. Keywords: COVID 19, Front line workers, Face masks, N95, Homoeopathy.
