Time changed so did our lifestyle , fooding and eventually disease pattern. We shall discuss various diseases in upcoming articles , lets first understand the ‘Disease’ itself.
When we use the word ‘Disease’, it means ‘lack of ease’ , the word itself evolved from French term ‘desaise’ which means discomfort or trouble; it has attained a broader meaning now including sickness/illnesses. The baseline is , if our body or mind start lacking the ease & feels uneasy/troubled in doing the day to day activities, it has got a disease. It can be any external injury, allergies, certain infections, internal pathological conditions and if not so then may be certain Deficiencies.
Usually when we talk about any disease, it by default pops up an image of an array of illnesses , all but one (Deficiencies). Did you get it?
Lets have a look on a few most common complains we come across everyday and the commonest reason behind.
- Hairfall– Anemia- deficiency of Iron, Folate, vit B12, vitamin C
- Pain in heels, back ; fatigue– deficiency of Vitamin D
- Bleeding gums, dry hair, dry skin– deficiency of Vitamin C
- Muscle cramps– deficiency of calcium and sometimes it is as simple as not having enough water
- Recurrent cold, cough , seasonal flu etc- deficiency of Zinc
- Sleeplessness – deficiency of Iron, Vit D, Vit Bs, and even Magnesium
Afore mentioned are the conditions which are largely ruled by deficiencies. These conditions are also diseases and the cause itself reveals the medicine. Here the medicine is the respective deficient nutrients, it can be in the form of nutritious food or supplement. Its not merely popping up the pills again.
Oh, its iron deficiency! Lets take up Iron pills, Uh..huh! Vit D? No worries! Lets have Vit D caps and so on… Isn’t this the approach we see these days?
It is really not going to help because its about correcting our food, our lifestyle and internal health. Merely supplements won’t help. Maybe, in some cases popping up the pills may show initial improvement but not for long. Once the supplements get depleted from the system, complains will return. Prolonged intake of supplements leads to Toxicity, another conditions becoming common these days due to unmonitored supplement intakes.
So, it is important to have complete balanced diet to cope up with deficiency diseases.
Even after taking proper food and well-guided supplements, if the complaints relapse or you struggle with deficiencies, it’s probably time to see a Homoeopathic Doctor.
Why Homoeopthy?
Well! Homeopathy , treats an individual as a whole, every case is unique and thus every condition narrates a new tale. The repeat deficiency may be due to the underlying metabolic disorder or malabsorption ; hence the Homeopathic approach helps you get the right treatment. The homoeopathic medicines are safe and have no side effects as long as taken properly and as directed by the physician.
Homeopathy medicines have a broad Sphere of Action, so in any individual, we do case study as detailed as possible and after that deduce to A medicine which covers majority of the individuals complaints and general symptoms. In Classical approach, single medicine is the ideal way to treat, however with changing times and situational demands, we may sometimes prescribe more than one medicines too but that has not to be taken together.
We have so many medicines helping people, with low body weight, height troubles and obesity as well. All these conditions show results with combined efforts of 3 factors- Doctor’s treatment, Patient’s susceptibility & lifestyle modifications.
So, next time, please don’t ignore your symptoms , or be reckless in popping in the supplements (especially from the fancy ads), show transparency with your doctor regarding all the medications including the supplements, they are medicines too.
