India over the past couple of years has seen an enormous rise in the incidence of lifestyle diseases, attributed to lifestyle changes adopted especially in urban India.

It had been observed that lifestyle diseases are prevalent in developed countries, and of late, India has fallen prey. In the modern world, people consume junk and processed food, lead a sedentary lifestyle and also acquire unhealthy habits like smoking, alcohol consumption and poor sleeping patterns.

Common lifestyle diseases include heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, asthma, chronic liver disease, COPD, diabetes, stroke and osteoporosis.

The risk of developing these diseases depends on various factors including the kind of work one does, the environment where the person lives, the kind of food consumed, amount of physical activity, and one’s susceptibility to stress.

“Lifestyle diseases” are an epidemic and “causes a much greater public health threat than any other epidemic”,

The term “lifestyle disease” by itself literally means a disease acquired depending on the lifestyle one leads.  This is encouraging in a way that if a person takes a step towards changing his /her lifestyle his/her disease burden can be greatly reduced but taking note that it has to be timely.

Homoeopathy is an important modality which can help lifestyle disorders and play a significant role in delaying the occurrence of lifestyle disorders and in management of these disorders.

Homoeopathy cures patients by medicines whose efficacy has been established by proving the efficacy of such medicines on healthy human beings. Homoeopathy treats patients through a holistic approach and considers individualistic characteristics of the person along with the disease symptoms.

The medicines are prescribed on symptom similarity of the drug and disease thus this needs a detailed interaction between the homeopath (Doctor) and the patient on the first consultation.

People who take constitutional homeopathic medicines which are given on basis of complete physical and mental makeup of the person significantly delay lifestyle disorders like diabetes, obesity and hypertension.

This is especially significant in cases with a family history of hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes. Diagnosed cases of hypertension can be well managed with homeopathic remedies provided medicine is prescribed on the constitutional totality of the person and not specific disease-based symptoms, the reason being that homoeopathy is an individualistic based medical therapy where each patient is given a different remedy depending on his or her constitution.

Disorders like hypothyroidism, early diabetes, depression, mood disorders which are most common these days in urban areas can be controlled well with homoeopathy without any side effects or the fear of dependency to a drug.

The benefit of homoeopathy is that when a person takes the right remedy not only does the disease being targeted is cured, but the overall immunity of the person is also boosted and their tendency to any other disease they are susceptible to, also reduces.

Patients becomes less prone to diseases and infections and their stress management improves drastically, in the sense the triggers which increase the stress will no longer cause stress and people remain healthier and stress free.

Homeopathic medicines act at a much deeper level both at the physical and mental plane so as to bring a balance of the person’s physical and emotional health. Homoeopathy also gives good positive results when administered as an adjunct to conventional medicine or any other line of therapy in complicated or late stages of these diseases where conventional medicine doesn’t have the complete key.

Similarly, obesity also a major health concern in India is an issue which requires management at multiple levels, with homeopathic medicines combined with lifestyle changes, the basic metabolic rate of the body can be regulated and obesity kept at check.

People who opt for homeopathic treatment for a long term fall ill less often and over a period of time also become less prone to stress and feel healthier overall.

The earlier one starts on homoeopathy better are the results for the same. Children who grow on homoeopathy live much healthier lives. So, choosing homoeopathy as a treatment option is recommended for better health.

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Cancer develops when the body’s normal control mechanism stops working. Old cells do not die and instead grow out of control, forming new, abnormal cells. These extra cells may form a mass of tissue, called a tumor. Some cancers, such as leukemia, do not form tumors.

 Most common forms of cancer

Cancer may occur anywhere in the body. In women, breast cancer is one of the most common. In men, it’s prostate cancer. Lung cancer and colorectal cancer affect both men and women in high numbers.

There are five main categories of cancer:

• Carcinomas begin in the skin or tissues that line the internal organs.
• Sarcomas develop in the bone, cartilage, fat, muscle or other connective tissues.
• Leukemia begins in the blood and bone marrow.
• Lymphomas start in the immune system.
• Central nervous system cancers develop in the brain and spinal cord.

Homeopathic medicines are given to the cancer patients alongside conventional treatment because cancer treatments can cause adverse effects, and homeopathic medicines is to help with these symptoms.  Homoeopathic medicines could help patients with problems caused by cancer treatment as adverse effects of radiotherapy, adverse effects of chemotherapy, menopausal symptoms associated with breast cancer treatment, prevention of radiotherapy-induced dermatitis and chemotherapy-induced stomatitis.

Homoeopathy is a useful approach in prevention and treatment of cancer. Various studies reported the effects of homoeopathic medicines in the management of cancer pain and other symptoms related to cancer. Homoeopathic remedies have been proven successful in treating cancer and also in subsidizing side effects of chemotherapy. Homeopathic remedies have significant effects on reducing the tumor size, relieving pain and healing of sores.

Homoeopathy is a painless and effective approach for the treatment and prevention of cancer. Homeopathic remedies increase their body’s ability to fight cancer, improves the physical and emotional well-being, and relieve pain resulting from the disease or conventional treatments.

Homoeopathy may be the most controversial but also the most popular alternative medicine. While some argue against it, others swear by its power and effectiveness. Today, we will look into how homoeopathy works and its advantages over conventional medicines. So, let’s get started.

• Safe and no side-effects

Unlike conventional treatment that might come with a host of side-effects, homeopathic medicines are made from natural substances and hence, they do not cause any side-effects. They are safe for people of all age groups and can be taken for a long period of time.

• Individualised medicine

There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ treatment in homoeopathy. It customizes treatment for all individuals. The homeopathic doctor takes an in-depth review of your health status, temperament, personality, likes and dislikes. This will be used to guide the selection of homeopathic medicines for your condition.

• Corrects the root cause

Homoeopathy treats the whole person rather than just the physical symptoms, thereby correcting the root cause that has triggered your condition. For instance, if you’re having allergy due to weak immunity, or diabetes / thyroid due to genetic factors, or hair loss due to PCOS, homoeopathy will correct the root cause.

• Less recurrence

Homoeopathy treatment reduces recurrence rate. Let’s look at a case study for this. A detailed, long-term study conducted at Dr Batra’s™ showed that the recurrence rate of patchy hair loss (alopecia areata) was just 9.1% in patients treated with homoeopathy, whereas it was as high as 50% in patients who took conventional treatment for hair loss.

• Treats acute and chronic conditions without surgical intervention

A number of surgical conditions such as recurrent tonsillitis, piles, gall bladder stones, small-sized uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, warts and corns can be treated effectively with homoeopathy.

While allopathic drugs can have possible side-effects on both mother and child, homeopathic remedies are safe and holistic in nature. They are ideal to address problems like nausea, anaemia, backache, cramps, morning sickness, heartburn, diarrhoea, blood pressure, emotional distress, etc., which usually occur during pregnancy. Also, since only tiny amounts of active ingredients are used, homeopathic medicines are safe for the growing baby as well.

• Can be taken along with allopathy

In patients suffering from drug-dependent diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure, allopathic drugs cannot be suddenly withdrawn; hence, homeopathic medicines can be taken with allopathic medicines.

Autism is a medical disorder affecting children. It can be mostly diagnosed in the first 3 years of life. Autism affects the way a child relates and responds to his or her environment. It affects his interaction with other people and often delays certain developmental milestones like speech. It impacts their academic performance as well. It is often difficult for parents to spot the early symptoms of autism because they might be mistaken as just a developmental delay, which could be taken care of without medical intervention. However, autism is not just a developmental delay. It needs early intervention and treatment so that the child doesn’t suffer for a prolonged time due to his developmental disabilities.

Homoeopathy has shown some great results in treatment of autism in children. Behaviour modification through homeopathic medicines is possible and this fact has been well-documented. Research studies have estimated that homeopathic medicines bring about a positive change for a wide range of symptoms in autistic children. They also help in reducing child’s hyperactivity, irritability, or aggressive behavior.

Stress and anxiety are part and parcel of every day busy life. But for some people, it is a much bigger issue and starts to interfere with one’s daily routine. When anxiety takes center stage in life, even the small task seems mountainous. It becomes a psychological disorder, which requires immediate attention and help. A person suffering from anxiety may experience symptoms like muscle tension, , rapid breathing, shaking, change in appetite and sleeping issue.

Homeopathic treatment can relieve the symptoms associated with these conditions. As the symptoms are relieved with the use of homeopathic remedies, the patient is able to move on with their life, as they learn new behavioral and emotional responses to their particular triggering factors.

patients with these conditions are successfully treated with homoeopathy and the response of patients suffering from these conditions to homoeopathy is generally good. The approach to treatment is individualized and based on the patient’s clinical condition. The homeopath has to take a complete history, including the present complaints, with all the particular and unique characteristics; the past medical and family history, including a social and developmental history, since most of these conditions have emotional components rooted in early childhood. Often, the triggering circumstances from the past, as well as the present, can help to pin point the particular homeopathic remedy which can relieve the complaints.
