Answers:
Do you have a treatment for arthritis?
Arthritis is a broad term, embracing many conditions involving pain, aching, stiffness and swelling of joints and the tissues surrounding the joints. It has many forms including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Homoeopathy has a number of effective remedies to help arthritis.
What is the best remedy for fever, headache, cough, flu, etc.?
There are many remedies for each condition. A remedy is selected on individual symptoms which vary from patient to patient. Therefore, it is not possible to label a remedy as the best for a certain condition. However, I give names of some remedies against each condition; one of them will usually be effective against the condition:
Fever: Aconite, Arsenicum album, Baptisia, Belladonna, Bryonia, China officinalis, Eupatorium perfoliatum, Ferrum phosphoricum, Gelsemium, Ipecacuanha, Natrium muriaticum
Headache: Aconites, Belladonna, Bryonia, Gelsemium, Glonine, Natrium muriaticum,
Cough: Aconite, Belladonna, Bryonia, Antimonium tart., Hepar sulph, Arsenicum album, Ipecacuanha, etc
Flu: Aconite, Arsencum album, Eupatorium perfoliatum, Gelsemium, Rhus tox, Natrium mur. Etc
The remedies given above are broad-spectrum remedies i.e. they cover a great number of conditions as you might have noted that some remedies appear in all the above conditions. One remedy should be given at a time and it must be selected on individualizing symptoms i.e. the symptoms that make a case of a given disease different from other cases of the same disease-name.
Can homeopathy manage Parkinson’s?
Homeopathy might not help the way the concept of “management” goes. But in most cases, it is effective in alleviating the symptoms.
Is Rhus tox best for rheumatoid arthritis?
No!
The “best” is the one that covers the presenting symptoms. Flare-ups are common in Rheumatoid arthritis. A remedy that worked in the previous flare-up may not necessarily help the next flare-up i.e. a new medicine may have to be selected based on the presenting symptoms and their modalities.
