Sciatica Homeopathic Treatment

Definition: Sciatica refers to pain/numbness/weakness due to sciatic nerve.




Symptoms: Main symptoms are buttock and/or thigh pain and/or calf pain made worse by extending the knees and ankle. The patient also may feel numbness/tingling of buttock and/or thighs and/or calf and/or foot.



Cause: Most of time simply due to nerve irritation caused by sedentary work, overwork, wrong posture, jerking, sprain, strain, and without any specific reason, but sometimes it may be due to some serious conditions such as disk herniation, lumbar spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, SI joint arthritis, piriformis syndrome, spinal tumors, etc.



Tests: If pain gets worse on walking on heels and toes then it is quite possible that you are suffering from sciatica. If pain is quite severe and persists for long time then one should consider investigations like MRI and CT myelogram to rule out disk herniation and spinal stenosis. X-rays are not useful because it is really hard to know these things on x-rays.



Things To Do: Avoid jerking, jumping, twisting kind of activities. Apply ice cubes warped in cloth around the areas of lower back just above buttock on the painful side for 15-20 minutes several times a day (at least 3-4 times a day) for three consecutive days. Start light stretching exercise when pain calms down little bit.



Homeopathic Treatment: Here I am describing some homeopathic medications which I have found useful in my clinical practice.



Berberis Vulgaris, Kali-Carb, Arsenic Album, Kali-Bichrom, Calcarea Carb, Lachesis, Kreosate, Sepia, Conium, Graphitis, etc.

Fever in Adult In Winter Homeopathic Treatment

Exposure to sudden temperature changes or cold temperature can cause body's immune system rather inactive providing an opportunity to harmful viruses/bacterias to grow rapidly in the body.



I am presenting here only homeopathic treatment for simple fever though symptoms of some serious types of fever are discussed as well.



Fever with following symptoms do indicate something worrisome ongoing in body and causing fever and needs good care and treatment:

Fever with dyspnea at rest

Fever with severe abdominal pain

Fever with stiff neck.

Female with fever who delivered child recently.

Fever with abscess anywhere.

Fever with tonsillitis.

Fever with joint pains and swelling.

Fever with blood in urine.

Fever with swelling of eyes.

Fever with swelling of face.

Fever with pain while urinating.

Fever with pain in lower abdomen.

Fever with yellow or green sputum or blood in the sputum.

Fever with cough for over 4 weeks; or fever with diarrhea.

If you are having any of these symptoms with fever then there is quite fair possibility anything serious is going on in body though absence of such is not necessarily means that nothing serious is underlying the fever.

Disappointment in Love And Homeopathy

We hear a lot that love is a disease, which has no cure, but there is certainly cure of disease caused by disappointment of love with help of homeopathy and we should not ignore it. I would explore this further with a false case.




A young female got disappointment in love and after some time started to have night cough mainly while lying down.



Phosphoric Acid was most indicated medicine for this female and such females. If no permanent cure of symptoms then Hyoscyamus Niger was second line homeopathic medicine and strongly indicated if this female or such females started to behave strangely i.e. laughing alternating with being in rage/in despair, in melancholy, jerking of any body parts, or even had started to have epileptic episode then Hyoscyamus Niger would help this female and such female to resolve her all problems caused by disappointment in love.



Many other medicines including Ignatia, Nat. Mur, Calc.Phos, Aurum, Lach, Cimicifuga, Antim Crud, Cactus, etc if indicated by other peculiar characteristics of the female.



If this cough was not treated with appropriate homeopathic treatment then she and such females can develop severe sneezing episodes at night and morning. Helleborus Niger would be most indicated medicine for her night cough and night sneezing and morning sneezing.



After some time this female/such females can develop itchy eyes and skin itching too along with all symptoms mentioned above and now her symptoms complex wants to Sulphur.



The sickness can progress further and she can develop night nasal obstruction and nasal poly and now this female and such females need Calcarea Carb.



Sickness can progress further and she can develop urticaria, which should be treated with Sepia.



This lady can develop breathlessness along with other symptoms of episodic asthmatic attack and bronchitis needing Kali Carb.



If this female or such females do not get appropriate homeopathic medicine they would develop disease such as emphysema, cardiomegaly, cor pulmonale and so on.
