Homeopath Dr. Anish Vaknalli's - Homeopathy / Homeopathic Treatment for Chronic Disease

Individuals are often misinformed about the limitation and scope of homeopathic medicines for kidney stones or calculi. Kidney stones and Gall bladder stones form in different shapes and sizes and the smaller the stone better are the chances that they will pass on initiating homeopathic treatment.

Some stones can be broken too in order to make it easier to pass; however as the stones grow older they tend to become hard and unbreakable. Newer stones are relatively softer and can be broken if treatment and dietary changes are initiated early.

We classify patients into two types when dealing with Renal or Gall Bladder Calculi:

Stones are small and passable:

After determining the diameter of the stones as seen in the USG (Ultra Sonography) treatment is initiated with the intention of:

Helping breakdown of stones.
Relieving spasm and inflammation of the tissue around the stone making it easier for it to pass.
Long-term treatment beyond 6 months helps in reducing recurrence and especially useful for patients with a positive family history or history of relapses.

Stones are large (10mm & above) and obstructed:

Helping breakdown of stones. The results may vary and a treatment course of 4-6 months can give some indication of the extent to which the meds are helping.
Relieving spasm and inflammation of the tissue around the stone helping it to pass if possible and when broken down.
Some patients may be recommended lithotripsy or surgery. However, long-term treatment beyond 6 months is highly recommended as it helps in reducing recurrences significantly.

Medicines used in Homeopathy Tincture of Berberis is commonly used for breaking and propagating stones and can be used over the counter. However there are numerous other remedies too which need to be administered some of which are Sarsaparilla, Benzoic Acidum, Belladonna, Lycopodium, Calcarea Renalis, Pareira Brava etc as these can significantly help in relieving pain and colic as well as propagate the stones.

Constitutional remedies based on the persons overall symptoms and persona also helps in preventing and altering the inherent factors causing relapses which can be determined by your homeopathic physician.

These pictures are of kidney stones passed by some of our patients during the course of the treatment. If you or someone you know suffers from small to medium calculi or recurrent kidney stones we would strongly recommend that you start homeopathy as soon as possible.

Uterine Fibroids and Homeopathic medicines FAQ

Homeopathic treatment of uterine fibroids can be very effectual and often the only treatment required especially when treated early on when the fibroids are small to medium size with intermittent, abnormal uterine bleeding.

What are fibroids?
Fibroids are tumors of the muscle lining the wall of the uterus (womb). They are therefore also known as "myoma" or muscle tumors. Fibroids are almost always benign (not cancerous) and can be solitary or multiple. They vary is size and only in unusual cases become very large. Fibroids are most common in women between ages 40-50 years and may be dormant without any symptoms or may cause excessive bleeding and pressure symptoms leading to frequent urination and rectal pressure.

Location of Fibroids
Depending on their location fibroids are classified as:
Submucosal fibroids which grow into the uterine cavity.
Intramural fibroids which grow within the wall of the uterus.
Subserosal fibroids which grow on the outside of the uterus.

Should I opt for homeopathic medicines if I have fibroids?
Yes, you definitely should provided the fibroids are small to medium size, irrespective of their number. The location too plays an important role and fibroids which are within the uterine cavity (submucousal) and within the uterine wall (Intramural) are easier to treat. Intramural (within the wall) fibroids can be reduced in size and cannot be expunged or dissected naturally like those in the uterine cavity (submucousal).

Our experience in treating large fibroids
Large fibroids are those which take up more than 3x3x3cm as per our clinical guidelines and not as per standard medical books. Fibroids which are larger than this take longer and the outcome a bit uncertain. Said that larger fibroids have been treated successfully too; however the time duration is comparatively longer.

How do homeopathic medicines for fibroids work?
All fibroids have a network of blood vessels which keep the fibroid live as well as help it grow in size. We assume that the medicines we prescribe help by:

a. Reducing or cutting the blood flow to the tumor. This is evident by the reduced bleeding or hemorrhage experienced by women on starting homeopathic medicines at our clinics.

b. Blocking the blood flow causes death of the entire or part of the fibroid

c. The fibroid usually shrinks in size over a few months. You may also experience pieces of the amputated fibroid being expelled out usually during your menstrual cycle.

Which homeopathic remedy do we recommend for treating fibroids?
There is no one single remedy which is a traditional fibroid remedy. A constitutional remedy based on the totality of all your symptoms is an ideal prescription. Some well-indicated remedies used at our centres are: Calcarea Carbonica, Thuja Occidentalis, Lachesis Mutans, Phosphorus, Aurum Mur Natrionatum, Fraxinus Americanus, Silicea etc, to name a few. Never indulge into self medication as the remedy indicated in your case depends on the signs and symptoms you present with and could be entirely different.

We at HomeoConsult R&D strongly recommend anyone with this condition to first try homeopathy as the treatment outcome is very favorable and surgery avoidable when treated timely.
