Positive Homeopathy

While most people are worried about the ill-effects of being overweight, they don’t consider various risks of having less weight. Normally, an underlying health disease prevents healthy weight gain. People who have less than normal weight have an increased risk of developing infections, infertility, and osteoporosis. There are various effective homeopathic remedies, which treat the underlying reason of weight loss and help in restoring the optimum body mass index.

The best advantage of going for a homeopathic treatment is that it doesn’t cause any side effects and you would not have to depend on the medicines after you have gained the desired weight. Some of the most useful homeopathic medications that help in gaining the right weight include the following:

Ignatia:

• Ignatia is one of the best homeopathic treatments, which aid in treating these types of disorders. It helps a person regain normal weight by improving his or her emotional health and restoring normal eating habits, required for the proper physiological functioning of the body.
• Ignatia is also given for the treatment of constipation and loss of appetite.
• The treatment is mainly dedicated towards helping an affected individual overcome the fear of becoming fat if they eat adequately.
• Unhealthy weight loss is one of the reasons for health disorders like bulimia and anorexia. People suffering from any of these disorders remain obsessed with their weight most of the time. Such people eat very less amount of food, which proves to be inadequate for their physical needs.

Lycopodium:

• Lycopodium is recommended for kids as well as adults who do not have the required weight, despite eating adequately.
• It has been speculated that such people feel full after eating little amounts of foods and it prevents them from having the right weight.
• Lycopodium is helpful in treating flatulence, bloating and constipation. It also aids in the improvement of one’s overall digestive health.

Alfalfa tonic:

• Alfalfa is a homeopathic treatment that has been proven to be effective in the improvement of appetite as well as healthy weight gain.
• The tonic helps to prevent loss of muscle and improve fat production.
• It is good for restoring the health of people suffering from malnutrition, bulimia and indigestion.

If you have tried various methods of gaining the right weight, but couldn’t achieve the desired results, then you may consult a homeopathic expert, who can evaluate the underlying cause of the disorder. He would also try to treat it so that the whole problem is uprooted and you can gain the normal body weight.

Nobody knows the exact cause of autism. All medical science knows is that it’s a complex neurological disorder which is detected within the first three years of life and is caused due to structural changes in the brain. Autism causes a number of symptoms which grade from mild to moderate to severe, like-

• Difficulty in communication and social interaction
• Language impairment
• Preoccupation with fantasies
• Repetitive acts (echolalia)
• Excessive possessiveness to certain objects
• Intellectual impairment
• Over-sensitivity or under-sensitivity to pain
• Developmental problems

Causes
Genetic predisposition is the most common cause of autism. Exposure to environmental toxins is the other. Other causes are use of certain drugs during pregnancy, vaccinations etc.

Diagnosis
Diagnosis of autism can only be done by clinical evaluation as there are no laboratory tests for it. The psychiatrist prepares a detailed developmental case history of the child before arriving at a diagnosis.
There are a number of Autism screening tests to diagnose autism as well. One thing to always follow is to go to a psychologist who has a history of treatment of autistic disorders.

Diet
Theories are emerging that autism may be caused by a super sensitive child’s response to foods like gluten found in grains and casein, a protein found in milk. These transform into substances that act like opiates in the child’s body.

These drug-like substances alter the child’s behaviour, his perceptions, and his responses to his environment. Recent research has found chemicals with opiate activity in the urine of a significant number of children with autism.

Autistic children have shown mild to dramatic improvements in speech, behaviour after going on a gluten-free, casein-free (GFCF) diet.

Some of the foods that can be eaten on GFCF diet include rice, quinoa, potato, buckwheat flour, soy, amaranth, corn, fruits, vegetables, beans, tapioca, meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, nuts, eggs, and sorghum, among others.

Homoeopathic treatment of Autism:

1. The homoeopath carries out a detailed study of the family history of serious diseases which are linked to the development of autism in his patient.
2. The genetic evaluation of the patient is followed by case analysis which takes into account impaired functions in the patient like repetitive behaviour, lack of social skills, speech issues etc.
3. The homoeopathic medicines indicated for autism are twenty and are usually given in combinations. A homoeopath takes the decision about the exact medicine to be given, its combination with other support medicines, the dose and its repetition based on the case history of the child.

By no means should one try to cure autism by self-medicating on homoeopathic medicines as this can cause deleterious effects.
It usually takes a minimum of six months for some perceptible changes in autistic children. Homoeopathic treatment may have to be continued for over a year if the symptoms of autism are very severe.

When you think of organs of the body, the mind goes to internal organs like the stomach, liver etc. However, the largest organ of the body is the skin. Given its size and the amount it interacts with external stimuli, the skin is susceptible to a number of infections. One of the common issues to affect skin is known as psoriasis. This is typically seen as a rash that can make the skin dry, thick and flaky. It can make the skin feel very itchy and make the person unconsciously scratch his or her skin so hard that it bleeds. Although, even modern medicine does not have a way to cure psoriasis but can manage the symptoms. In contrast, homoeopathy can help treat the factors triggering this infection and hence keep it from recurring.

Homeopathy is a holistic form of medication that treats not only the symptoms exhibited but also the issues triggering the infection. Homeopathic medicines are usually prescribed in the form of sweet pills, powders or liquids. This form of medication has negligible side effects and can be prescribed to children and adults of all ages. If needed, it can be prescribed along with other types of medication as well. However, homeopathy does not follow a one size fits all approach. This means that a remedy that suits one person may not be effective for another. This is because the ideal homeopathic prescription depends on the symptoms being exhibited by the patient, his or her overall physical and mental health, family history, personality etc.

There are a number of homeopathic remedies that may be prescribed to treat psoriasis. Some remedies can treat psoriasis that is passed on genetically from one generation to another while others can treat psoriasis caused by exposure to warm or cold conditions. Homeopathy can be used to treat psoriasis that makes the skin dry as well as psoriasis that leads to oozing lesions. It can also be used to treat chronic cases of psoriasis. In many cases, two or more remedies may be prescribed simultaneously.

When taking homeopathic remedies one must follow the prescribed schedule. Medicines must be taken half an hour before or after meals. When taking two or more homeopathic medicines, they must be spaced at least 5 minutes apart. The ideal time to take the morning dose is as soon as one wakes up. Similarly, the best time to take a night dose is just before going to bed.
