Role of Homoeopathy in Children Asthma


Asthma is one of the leading causes of chronic illness in children. Asthma is a condition which is caused by inflammation of the airways which leads to tightening and narrowing of the airways, making it difficult for the child to breathe. It is seen that asthma in children results in more hospitalizations as compared to any other chronic illness. Children Asthma is different from adult asthma. Few children suffer with mild asthma while others suffer with severe asthma. Some children may get frequent attacks of coughs and some may suffer with allergies. Few of the causative factors of childhood asthma are allergens; Irritants; changes in weather; Exercise and infections.

It is a common belief that asthma is an incurable disease but the fact been that asthma can be permanently treated by consuming regular Homoeopathic medicines. Homoeopathy does have an enormous role in treating childhood asthma. Homoeopathy can permanently cure children asthma. Homoeopathy is also useful in severe and emergency asthma conditions.

There is no single specific remedy available in Homoeopathy for all the cases of asthma. In homeopathy, the asthmatic condition is evaluated in its whole extent, where emphasis is given to the patient as a whole apart from minutely studying the various aspects of the asthmatic condition. The exact treatment of childhood asthma is determined only by in-depth evaluation of every individual case.

Homeopathic medicines help in considerably decreasing the frequency of asthma attacks. It also reduces the severity and duration of the attacks. If the child is dependent on bronchodilators or steroid inhalers then, after homoeopathic treatment the child may not require its need any more.

Homeopathy not only helps in bringing the symptoms of asthma under control, but it also enhances the resistance power of the child. Homeopathic treatment is aimed at enhancing the body's own healing capacity so that the human system fails to react adversely to the allergens. Children fail to react to the allergens as adversely as they would, earlier to the homoeopathic treatment. This is possible as Homeopathy does not treat asthma, but it treats the patient as a whole.

Hence, in case your child suffers from asthma then have no second option but resort to Homoeopathy and treat your child completely and safely.

I have cured several cases of childhood asthma where the child has been made free from this dreadful disease and further complications of asthma are prevented.

Homoeopathy & Thyroid Diseases


The thyroid gland is a tiny gland situated in the neck and it has an enormous impact on the health and well-being of the entire person. The thyroid secretes thyroid hormone, which in turn regulates human growth, maturation and the speed of metabolism.

In a hypothyroid there is an insufficient production of thyroid hormone or reduced stimulation of thyroid. Here the thyroid gland is described as an underactive thyroid as there is a reduced production of thyroid hormone. While in hyperthyroidism, there is excessive production of thyroid hormones. Graves disease is associated with the thyroid gland and is a type of an autoimmune disorder characterized by hyperthyroidism. Inflammation of the thyroid gland is known as Thyroiditis and is the commonest cause of hypothyroidism. In an overactive thyroid there can be weight loss or weight gain.

There are several common foods that can cause hypothyroidism if eaten in large quantities, especially if you have iodine deficiency. These food substances are known as goitrogens. They are known as goitrogens as they can stimulate the enlargement of the thyroid (a goiter) and also hypothyroidism. Thyroid cancer is treated by surgery depending on the type and stage of the cancer, the size of the nodule and the age of the patient.

Homeopathy is a natural system of treatment which offers a better and safer option for treating thyroid conditions. There are several homeopathic remedies that can address numerous thyroid problems. Homoeopathic remedies stimulate the body's own immune system further stimulates the thyroid gland to perform normally and to produce normal amounts of hormones thus, offering permanent cure rather than offering temporary relief like the allopathic treatment. This is observed from the fact that even after discontinuing homoeopathy treatment; the patient fails to return to the diseased condition.

Thus, homeopathy should be the first choice for thyroid conditions as it acts quickly without causing any side effects. It treats the disease from its root cause stimulating the thyroid gland to produce normal amounts of hormones. Homoeopathy does, have a cure for all types of thyroid conditions. I have personally treated several cases of thyroid disorders and claimed permanent cure.
