Multiple Sclerosis - Homeopathic Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis is a volatile disease that encroaches on each individual in a different way. It is a chronic autoimmune nervous system disease that attacks neurons, which are the cells of the brain and spinal cord that transmit information, create thoughts and perception, and allow the brain to control the body. Surrounding and safeguarding these neurons is a layer of fat, called Myelin, which facilitates these neurons to carry electrical signals. Multiple Sclerosis causes gradual destruction of Myelin which disrupts the ability of the nerves to conduct electrical impulses to and from the brain.

 Types of Multiple Sclerosis

  • Secondary – progressive Multiple Sclerosis: In this phase of the disease there is a preliminary period of deterioration, followed by progressive worsening with or without occasional flare-ups.

 Homeopathic Approach to Multiple Sclerosis

Homeopathy views Multiple Sclerosis as attack by an individual’s immune system on their own nervous system. Homeopathic medicines are prescribed after taking into account the physical symptoms, along with the emotional and genetic make up that individualizes a person. Hence, homeopathic medicines will assist in bringing back deviations of immunity to normalcy. Early intervention with Homeopathy can assist in preventing further progress and hence deterioration caused by Multiple Sclerosis. Homeopathic remedies can help lessen fatigue, increase energy, warm up cold extremities, regain function, motor skills and detoxify the body. Homeopathic treatment combats Multiple Sclerosis, to cease new crises and control future relapses. The various expressions of this disease can be managed effectively, safely and gently with homeopathic remedies.
