Joints & Connective Tissue Disorders

Cases of joint complaints have done well on Homoeopathic Treatment. The prognosis depends on :

• Type of the pathology
• Duration of the complaint
• Underlying cause
• Age of the patient

Migraine

Most patients suffering from migraine complain of periodic headache, which is typically one sided (unilateral) accompanied by vomiting. Headaches are generally preceded by an aura of visual disturbances. Periodicity is the most characteristic feature of this illness. The condition starts after puberty & continues till late middle life. The headache is usually localized to the frontal region & can spread to one side of the head. The pain occurs at intervals, which varies from patient to patient. The pain is very severe throbbing with vomiting, photophobia, & a lot of weakness.

Osteo - Arthritis (O A)

Pain in the weight bearing joints especially the knees, hips & spine are mostly caused by O A. There is degeneration in the lining of the joints caused by age, osteophytes and wearing of the joint capsule. There are many underlying factors, which need to be looked into when the problem is diagnosed.

Pharyngitis & Laryngitis

Inflammation of the throat with symptoms like hoarseness of voice, throat pain especially while swallowing & cough. Along with regular medication warm water gargling(three times a day) is essential. Lower respiratory tract.

Psoriasis

This is characterized by thickening of the skin, well-demarcated elevated margins and scales. This complaint is characterized by excessive epidermal proliferation (fast multiplication & death of the upper layer of skin causing the scaling) The cause remains unknown. However, the factors that play a role are Genetic, Bio-chemical, Immunopathological (immune system related) & local. The factors that trigger the pathology are trauma, infections, sunlight, drugs like anti malarial and steroids. Stress & anxiety can trigger an acute exacerbation.

Renal Stone & Renal Colic

Kidney stones responsible for agonizing colic are made of calcium oxalate, phosphate, uric acid crystals, or cystine stones. The causes vary from diet, habitat, & internal pathologies. Treatment of the renal stone with Homoeopathy depends on the type, site & the size of the stone.

Respiratory System

Problems related to this part of the body are encountered the most. We all must have suffered from complaints relating to the respiratory systems many a times. The complaints can be divided broadly in 2 parts

• Allergic
• Infective (Bacterial & Viral)

Children as well as adults are prone to these complaints. In children there has been an increase in the incidence of childhood asthma & respiratory tract infections. We have treated babies as small as 6 months old suffering from acute chest infections & congestions that required nebulization frequently. All these children have been helped in their acute attacks as well as they have been off any form of medication within 4-6 months period of starting homoeopathic treatment.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

An auto-immune affection and inflammation of the joints this disease affects all the joints of the body. The affected joints show destruction & deformation. The blood test may or may not reveal a positive RA factor. Symptoms: Swelling & pain in the small joints of the finger & toes to begin with. As the disease progresses other joints get affected along with other systemic symptoms (weight loss, fever, weakness, etc.)

Sinusitis

Infections of sinuses are characterized by running or blocked nose. Pains in the forehead orbit of the eye, cheekbones, and occiput depending on the sinus affected.

Skin Complaints

Skin complaints have troubled man since a long time & man has tried various techniques to get rid of them. Homoeopathy has come more in focus because of its ability to cure them effectively without any side effects. Common beliefs about skin complaints are that they are very local complaints and getting rid of them solves the problem for good. However, unfortunately that’s not true for many skin complaints. They generally have a deep underlying cause precipitating the skin eruption and therefore applying ointments locally hardly helps a permanent cure.
