Holistic Medicine

A holistic homeopathic approach relieves symptoms, modifies contributing factors and improves the patient's current ill condition to optimize his or her wellbeing. It balances various aspects of human experience i.e..physical , mental and emotional health.The results are sustainable.

Homeopathy : disease reversal with natural medicine

Human longevity can be  increased if the aging process can be delayed or to some extent reversed. Even if the symptoms of chronic diseases in old age can be alleviated or prevented, there is enough possibility of increasing the life span. It is not a single chronic disease that affects the old age. It is actually a group of chronic diseases that adversely affect the old age, leading to gradual deterioration of health. Mostly, these diseased are interrelated and appear on the basis of one's genetic predisposition. Homeopathic  medicine represents a group of chronic diseases which generally appear in a susceptible body constitution. A good example is the medicine Calcarea carbonica constitution which is genetically predisposed to develop obesity, hypothyroidism, diabetes, hypertension, gall bladder stones, cancer, heart conditions etc. If this group of chronic conditions can be prevented or alleviated by homeopathy medicines in old age, it is likely to increase the life span as well as health span ( disease free period ) of that person. Similarly, there are other homeopathic constitutions which can develop different groups of chronic diseases that can be carried to or appear in old age. Therefore, homeopathy medicines have greater potential to treat and tackle the old age chronic diseases and to help enhance longevity. In this objective, however, the approach should be holistic combining homeopathy, healthy diet and enough physical activity.

Diet and Diabetes

About 29 million people in America suffer from diabetes. Also 51% of people of age 65 and above have  pre-diabetes.
37% of adults over age 20 have pre-diabetes.
People who consume more meat are likely to be more prone to diabetes. On the other hand, a plant based diet (early human diet ) improves blood sugar, body weight, blood pressure and cholesterol, all at the same time.
Plant based foods are typically low in fat, high in fibre and complex carbohydrates. Low fat foods also help  to reduce intercellular lipid accummulation.

Homeopathy and Chronic kidney disease

Roughly 800-1000 people per 10 lacs population suffer from chronic renal disease in India. If diagnosis is done at an early stage, homeopathy can reverse the disease. It has been observed in many cases of early to middle stage chronic kidney disease that homeopathy has reversed the disease and the patients are doing well. The homeopathy treatment is also highly cost effective, compared to dialysis which may cost about Rs. 25000 to 30000 per month.

Enormous burden of diabetes in India


India has around 60 million diabetics,with nearly 2 million additions every year.             That is why, it is known as diabetes capital of Asia. Changes in lifestyle are the main reasons for the increased incidences of diabetes. Higher intake of fast food, high calorie diet,  trans fat, saturated fat and polished grains, lesser physical activity and higher incidences of obesity are important factors that are contributing to the rise of diabetic population.      
Timely intervention, care and lifestyle modification can prevent diabetes and its related complications like heart disease, stroke, nerve damage, kidney damage and many other serious disorders.

Homeopathy manages chronic kidney disease well

Chronic kidney disease is a silent killer. Almost 10% of   population may have chronic kidney disease (CKD). Early CKD has practically no signs or symptoms. It often can destroy 90% of the kidney function before symptoms appear. That is why, most of the cases of CKD go undiagnosed in early stage. Advanced CKD may show signs of fatigue, swollen ankle, poor appetite, difficult concentration, foamy urine, nausea etc. Ultrasound (whole abd) and blood test ( renal function ) help to diagnose the problem. History of the patient like hypertension,, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, smoking, long use of pain killer medication, family history of kidney disease etc are also important and to be noted. Homeopathy medicines play an important role in managing the chronic kidney disease. It has been observed that even with serum Creatinine greater than 7 mg/dl, homeopathy medicines repair and reverse the kidney damage without the help of dialysis for long term management.
