Hyperlipidaemia is a disorder characterised by elevated levels of lipid in blood and is frequently regarded as one of the main risk factors for atherosclerotic illnesses, including coronary heart disease. The associated risk factors include obesity, sedentary lifestyle, fatty food intake, excessive alcoholism and smoking. Since hyperlipidaemia has few or no significant clinical signs, a lipid panel or lipid profile analysis constitutes as the primary method of diagnosis. A case of 51-year-old male suffering from Hyperlipidaemia for few years, which was temporarily relieved with conventional treatment, has been presented here. Clinically patient reported with pain in calves, burning feet, dyspepsia and occasional arthritic pain. After a thorough clinical evaluation, Lycopodium Clavatum in increasing potency (up to Q5), was prescribed when needed. The outcome assessment was done by using the ‘Modified Naranjo Criteria’. This case report demonstrates improvement of symptoms as well as the reduction of serum cholesterol and triglycerides with individualised homoeopathic treatment.
