Homeopathic Treatment for MS

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that attacks the central nervous system of an individual. The most crucial body components such as the brain and spinal cord are gravely affected by this obstinate disease. Some of the common symptoms of this ailment are increased fatigue, weakness, depression, changes in sensation and a lack of proper coordination due to loss of sensation and perceptions. With homeopathy, the condition can be improved and symptoms can be lessened.

  1. Analyze the Present Condition

    • The homeopathy practitioner first tries to understand the present symptomatic condition of the patient with MS by taking notes on his medical history, symptoms, energy levels, behavioral patterns and physical ailments.

    Analyze Medical and Family History

    • Research has indicated that MS can possibly be genetic if any of the patient's family members ever suffered from such an ailment. However, an in-depth medical history of the patient's family is asked for and then scrutinized to do a root cause analysis of the entire medical condition.

    Understand the Pathological Condition

    • The homeopathic practitioner then tries to match the symptoms of the patient with the general pathological conditions of the disease itself and survey for any common characteristics of the MS.

    Ascertain the Type of MS

    • Next is to discern the stage of MS that the patient is currently in. The four stages of multiple sclerosis are progressive and are named as relapsing/ remitting MS, primary-progressive MS, secondary-progressive MS, and progressive-relapsing MS. They are categorized on the basis of severity from mild, medium, moderate or severe.

    Medicines Prescribed in Homeopathy

    • Homeopathy treatment offers specialized and customized medicines for multiple sclerosis depending on the physical, mental and emotional constitution of the patients. The same dosage and medicines cannot be prescribed to all who suffer from this disease. Therefore, every patient has to be individually checked and diagnosed by the doctor to determine his life cycle in MS. Depending on the stage, there are several homeopathic medicines that are prescribed, including causticum, gelsemium, natrum-mur, phosphorus, alumina, lyco, and physo.
