Multiple Sclerosis: Homeopathic remedies

For most a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis can seem like a death sentence. Disseminated sclerosis or encephalomyelitis disseminata commonly known as Multiple sclerosis (MS), is an inflammatory disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This damage interrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to communicate, resulting in a wide range of signs and symptoms including physical, mental and sometimes psychiatric problems. Its symptoms range from mild and intermittent to severe and permanently debilitating. There is currently no cure for MS, but today many believe that Homeopathy offers alternatives. Different therapeutic modalities are employed, but a homeopathic approach in particular is of benefit in MS. By its nature, it is a whole-person approach and allows for complete individualization of treatment, taking account of the minutiae of the patient’s life.

Homeopathy views Multiple Sclerosis as attack by an individual’s immune system on their own nervous system. Medicines are prescribed after taking into account the physical symptoms, along with the emotional and genetic makeup that individualizes a person. Early intervention with Homeopathy is critical and 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 more importantly can combat Multiple Sclerosis, to cease new crises and control future relapses.
