Backache & Homoeopathy

     Backache is nowadays a common complaint that nearly anyone having it. Humans and animals have a one difference that is humans can walk on their feet when animals don’t! Due to that humans are more susceptible to backache. There are many reasons of backache, but most common is weight on back. Backache can occur due to congenital defect of spine, injury to spine, thrust on back, sprain, over lifting of weight, incorrectly position of sitting or sleeping, during menses, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, faulty posture etc. Backache mainly occurs due to problem in back bone, muscle or surrounding organs might be the cause. Backache is more common after 30 to 35 years of life but nowadays it is also seen in young people! In child who are malnourished or who having faulty posture, lack of exercise are more likely have backache in early life.

     With help of homoepathy on can get rid of backache, but prevention is better cure, right? So how one can prevent or avoid it? Here is few things that you should try-

1.You should exercise every day at least 15 to 20 minutes. Yoga is good for back. And yes heavy exercise should be avoid also.
2.You should walk at least 1 to 2 km.
3.You should sleep on hard bed rather than soft bed.
4.For ladies they should not wear shoes with high heels.
5.While driving, sitting you should sit straight.
6.You probably should avoid sleeping in faulty posture.

     So these were few points that can help one to avoid backache. If you are having backache then you need homoeopathic medicine. Yeah you can just take allopathic medicine like paracetamol, diclofenac etc. but they can cause gastric disturbances, and renal and hepatic damage etc. so anyways there quiet miraculous homoeopathic remedy that can remove backache in minutes!

Can homoeopathy restore structural changes?

     In homoeopathy curing overgrowth of tissues to normal structure is very difficult and quiet controversial. Many homoeopaths believes that homoeopathic medicine cannot alter or reverse structural changes that occurs in tissue. And somewhat they are right. In some cases homeopathy has no or little hope for cure, some homeopaths are not agree with this. I would like to share a case even with structural changes can be restore to normal with help of homeopathy. Though, I am not going to mislead any young and fresh homeopaths to believe that they can cure ANY case with homeopathy, yes it is sad but, even homeopathy has some limits in pure surgical case, advanced malignancy, involved any vital organs etc.

     So I am going to share a case of Lipoma. Everybody know what Lipoma is? Right? Lipoma is simple overgrowth of fat in skin. They are hard and mobile under skin. They are not causing any pain pan it can cause inconvenient in day to day life. In allopathic mode of treatment they don’t have any medication so they recommends incision and removal with minor surgery. The cause of Lipoma is not known. Lipoma can be simple single node or multiple nodes. They can appear on any superficial part of body (under skin). In homoeopathy curing Lipoma is very difficult and demands time and patience. Sometimes it takes so much time that patient give up to taking medicines! Lipomas are sycotic, so they can be treat with anti-sycotic homeopathic medicines.

     There are some specific homeopathic medicines that help to treat Lipoma but, I would suggest to find similimum medicine. Because finding specific medicine on simple node is hard and you cannot prescribe any medicine on single symptom. And that would be just; overgrowth on skin! This is reason why some cases cannot be cure with homoeopath, because of lack of characteristic symptoms.

A CASE:
     Some time ago I case of node on neck of a child. He was about 11 year old boy. He had overgrowth fat tissue on right side of neck. Causing no pain. Size was about 1 to 1.5 inches and it was a single node. Diagnose was too easy. Child had no problem with this but his mother had. She thought it was the tumor as it was growing in size. Boy wasn’t treated with homoeopathy, his mother was a homoeopathic believer! She want to treat node with homoeopathy. Node was there since last year, it was first small and they came in to notice. He was treated with homeopathically in his village, and his node was resolved. But after few time it reappeared on same site.

     In boy’s appearance he was lean, thin and tall with dark complexion. He was poor in sport, but he was good in study. His appetite was good but cannot eat. There is nothing specific that he liked except spicy noodles. He refuse to eat routine food at home. Stool and urine was normal. He craves cold things that accomplished that he was hot patient. Tongue was clean and moist, became thirsty frequently, and generally drinks a glass at a time. When he sleeps he sleeps with mouth open. Cannot remember any dreams.

     About his mental generals, he was too shy. In school he did not fight with any other boy, even when he was angry. He likes to make new friends, new contacts but he did not approach them first. After long case study I gave him lycopodium 30C. In few days I get any results but after a month node shrank a little and gave me a little hope. And then I continued lycopodium 30C for few months and then started give him placebo. Within 6 months his node was 95% resolved and in few time latter it disappeared.
