Jharsuguda father-son duo’s homoeopathy book launched at international congress of Homeopathic medicine in Athens, Greece
Jharsuguda: Bringing international recognition to Jharsuguda, a book on homoeopathic medicine authored by a father-son duo from the district was launched at the 20th Panhellenic Congress of Homeopathic Medicine in Athens, Greece, on Sunday.
The book, Quintessence of Homoeopathic Materia Medica, written by Dr Deoshlok Sharma and his son Dr Jitesh Sharma, was formally released by Belgian homoeopathic practitioner Dr Frederik Schroyens during the three-day international congress held at the War Museum of Athens from November 13 to 15.
The launch ceremony was attended by several international delegates, including congress organising committee president Dr Eleftherios Tapakis, European Committee for Homeopathy vice-president Dr Natalia Tzima, former Hellenic Society of Homeopathic Medicine president Dr Konstantinos Tsitinidis and Indian homoeopathic physician Dr Ruchi Shirudkar.
Published by B Jain Publishers, the book explores characteristic symptoms associated with homoeopathic remedies, drawing on traditional Materia Medica literature and observations described by the authors as clinically verified.
Dr Deoshlok Sharma, a senior homoeopathic practitioner from Jharsuguda, has over three decades of experience. An alumnus of Utkalmani Homoeopathic Medical College, he played a key role in establishing JDS Multi Super Specialty Homoeopathic Hospital and Research Centre in Jharsuguda.
His son, Dr Jitesh Sharma, holds an MD in Homoeopathy and serves as director of the hospital. He is involved in academic teaching, international workshops and research-related activities in the field.
The congress, organised under the theme ‘Homeopathic Medicine – Promoting Holistic Health’, brought together practitioners, researchers and academicians from different countries for academic discussions and knowledge exchange.
The authors expressed gratitude to the organisers and international delegates for their support, describing the book’s launch in Athens as a significant milestone in their academic journey and an opportunity to bring their work from Jharsuguda to an international audience.
