Homeopathic treatment for bed-wetting (enuresis):
Normally a child learns to achieve control over
his/her bladder by the age of 3 or latest by 5 years. However if involuntary
urination continues beyond this age it needs investigation. More
often than not, the cause is emotional but it is important to first rule
out any physical problems before assuming it to be an emotional problem
& treating it as such. Any physical problem will usually lead to bed-wetting
or involuntary urination even when the child
is awake & not just in sleep. A routine check-up by a doctor is usually
enough to rule out physical problem. Once a physical problem is ruled
out, we need to be sympathetic with the child & not punish/jest/ scold
him/her. The emotional cause needs to be found-it could be some reason
at school, at home, with friends-just about anything could have upset
the child.Most cases are curable with homeopathic medicines. Commonly
used homeopathic medicines / remedies for bed-wetting are
: Equisetum, Kreosote, Causticum, Medorrhinum etc. top Homeopathic treatment for thyroid (hyperthyroidism,
hypothyroidism) problems: Thyroid
is a gland situated in the neck. It produces two important hormones T3
& T4 which have an effect on practically all systems of the body.
Diseases of the thyroid can cause alterations in hormone secretion,
enlargement of the gland or both. Any disease of the thyroid will
either cause hormones to be decreased(hypothyroidism) or increased(hyperthyroidism).
It is not always possible to find the cause of thyroid disease but one
of the causes of hypothyroidism is iodine deficiency. Dietary iodine can
be increased by consuming iodised salt but it must be kept inind that
excess iodine is also harmful. Thyroid disease is usually first
noticed due to a swelling in the neck just over the region of the voice
box or due to significant change in weight & appetite. Blood
tests are required to confirm hypo or hyperthyroidism. Once the diagnosis
is made, appropriate therapy needs to be started. Some patients recover
after few years or months of medication & need no further treatment
while some may have to take the medicines for life. Homeopathy offers
better chances of a permanent cure since the treatment is based on the
person's individual constitution. Commonly
used homeopathic remedies for thyroid (hyperthyroidism, hypothyroism)
problems are
: Fucus vesiculosus, Bromium, Iodine, Calcarea carb, Thyroidinum etc. top
