Clinical Paediatrics by Dr Ruchi Shirudhkar – A Homeopathy Book for Clinical Paediatrics

It’s rare to find a book that informs the mind while also touching the heart—this one is both. Written by an experienced and passionate homoeopathic physician, Dr. Ruchi Shirudkar, Clinical Paediatrics is more than just a homeopathic textbook—it’s a journey through the nuanced world of treating young patients. With over 19 years of dedicated clinical experience in paediatrics, Dr. Shirudkar brings both credibility and clarity to a field that often challenges even seasoned practitioners. One of the biggest hurdles in pediatric practice is the inability of children to articulate their complaints, unlike adults. Dr. Shirudkar beautifully bridges this gap by teaching practitioners how to decode the language of young patients—not just through words, but through behavior, expressions, emotions, and observation.

The book emphasizes the art of observation—a critical skill in homoeopathic pediatrics. Whether a child is crying, angry, shy, or playful, each gesture holds meaning, and this book teaches how to interpret these cues and translate them into meaningful rubrics. What sets this book apart is its practical, case-based approach, featuring real patient expressions highlighted during case discussions, comparative materia medica for child-focused remedies as well as a clear, confident guidance on how to reach the similimum through systematic case analysis. The book also addresses the common questions faced by homeopaths when treating children and builds a step-by-step confidence in managing even difficult cases like autism and ADHD. Whether you’re a student or an experienced homeopath, this book serves as both a learning companion and a clinical reference—designed to build confidence and skill in pediatric case-taking using Dr. Shirudkar’s tried-and-tested methodology.
