Homeopathic Remedies for Huntington's Disease

According to the Mayo Clinic, there is no treatment for Huntington's disease. Because of this fact, many people are now searching for homeopathic remedies and folk remedies to treat their symptoms in the hope of finding some sort of relief. There is not a whole lot of information available to the public for treating Huntington's disease with homeopathic remedies, but there are many alternative treatment methods available.

  1. Staying Physically Active and Maintaining Nutrition

    • The Mayo Clinic recommends improving daily lifestyle so that the effects of the disease don't have such a negative impact on day-to-day life. As with any illness or disease, daily physical activity will be beneficial. Not only does it help to improve physical health, but it also improves mental health and well-being by uplifting one's mood. Always dress appropriately during exercise and make sure to participate in good stretching exercises before and after working out to ensure that no physical injury occurs from the workout.

      Working out means that you may be burning up to 5,000 calories a day, so proper nutrition is very important. Take extra vitamins and eat a healthy, well-balanced meal that includes food from all the food groups. Try to eat fish at least two or three times a week and opt for lean cuts of meat and steamed green vegetables. Fruit is a great choice for providing natural energy and can sometimes satisfy a sweet tooth without adding unwanted calories.

    Drink Lots of Water

    • Having Huntington's Disease makes an individual more likely to become dehydrated, especially in the summertime if the individual is not getting adequate relief from the summer heat. For example, working and living with no air-conditioning can be a real problem for some people. That's why it's so important to stay well-hydrated, particularly in the summer months. You should be drinking at least 64 ounces of water a day. Drinking cold water will help refresh the body and may help you burn an additional 200 calories for every 32 ounces of cold liquid you drink.

    Ayurvedic Remedies

    • According to Dr. A.A. Mundewadi, B.A.M.S., high-quality herbal remedies in tablet form can be used to treat Huntington's disease. Brahmi-Vati, Saraswatarishta, Laxmi-Vilas-Ras, Drakshasav and Shrung-Bhasma are sometimes used to treat depression and irritability. Any Ayurvedic treatments should be administered by a professional Ayurvedic doctor.
