Kidney stones Homeopathic treatment, Mumbai

Credits: Dr. Anish Vaknalli

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 which need to be administered internally as these can significantly help in relieving pain and colic as well as propagate passage of the stones.

Constitutional remedies based on the persons overall symptoms and personality characteristics also helps in preventing and altering the inherent factors causing relapses. A constitutional remedy 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.

Acne (pimples) homeopathy treatment

Curing Acne with  homeopathy 
Credits: Dr.A. Vaknalli

Acne is a common skin disease which involves inflammation of the tiny pores and attached glands that covers the face, back, arms and chest. It broadly includes conditions like blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, nodules and cysts which form due to plugged pores.

Though acne is commonly seen in teenagers, it may also affect adults in their late 20s and 30s. Though not life threatening, acne can cause sever scarring and affect ones self-confidence, significantly.

Some causes of Acne? So far, there are only myths about what causes acne and no one really knows what exactly causes them. Clinically it is presumed that the following conditions could be responsible for or may aggravate cases of acne:

• Genetic predisposition: If any one of your parents had a tendency to acne you are also prone to develop this condition.
• Hormonal changes: During teenage years as well as during pregnancy, there is an increase of the male hormone Androgen, which leads to excess sebum or oil production by your sweat glands. This leads to blocking of the pores which causes acne.
• Bad foods: Chocolate, greasy food, meats etc have been commonly linked with acne. Though this link is questionable, when consumed, some individuals may see an increase in acne.
• Dirty and oily skin: Dirt and unhealthy skin can aggravate acne by clogging your skin pores. Keeping you skin clean can help reduce acne. However, excessive scrubbing, washing and cleaning with astringent solutions can also irritate your skin and increase them.
• Bacteria: Propionibacterium acnes, a bacterium, reside naturally on the skin and uses sebum as a growth nutrient. They multiply when there is excess sebum production (oily skin) seen during puberty and in those with acne. White blood cells try to fight off this infection which leads to a reaction as commonly seen in inflamed acne.

Calcaneal Spur, Heel pain & homeopathy

Cure and Relief from pain and discomfort of Calcaneal spurs
Courtesy: Dr. Anish Vaknalli

What are Calcaneal spurs?
Calaneal spurs are bony spurs or projections on the back or underside of the heel bone also known as the Calcaneus bone.

You can read more on spurs by clicking here 

Symptoms caused by Calcaneal spurs
Not all heel spurs cause symptoms and are sometimes routinely diagnosed during an X-Ray. The symptoms, if any, can range from mild to sever and varies depending on the location of the spur.

Spurs formed on the underside of the heel cause pain and tenderness by stepping down on the heel. This pain is usually more in the morning on first steeping your heel on the floor and also increases with walking.

Spurs on the back of the heel are associated with inflammation of the Achilles tendon causing pain located on the back side of the heel.

Assured treatment at HomeoConsult RD
Over the past 25 years our centres have treated innumerable cases of Calcaneal spurs with results which almost always assure a complete recovery. The treatment duration is shorter when the spurs cause mild to moderate symptoms as compared to spurs which are severely enlarged.

The treatment is designed to relieve inflammation and swelling at the site of the spur by prescribing proven homeopathic remedies which work specifically on the heel and prevent further enlargement of the spur and inflammation of the bony tissue and tendons. Alongside, we also recommend icing and using gel shoe-inserts which temporarily reduce the inflammation and pressure on the heel.

If you or someone you know suffers from recurrent heel pains do not ignore it and see your homeopath at once. A Calcaneal spur could be causing those symptoms and homeopathy could be the final answer to this problem.

Infantile or Children Eczema & Homeopathy

Dec 2009. A case of infantile eczema cured within 3 months of treatment at HomeoConsult RD, Consultant: Dr. Anish Vaknalli

Hello



It is very unusual to see a case of Infantile or childhood eczema cured within a span of 2-3 months especially with conventional or allopathic medicines. Though unusual, homeopathy can achieve this with the right approach and cooperation of the parent and child affected.

Why cooperation?

Simply because when our homeopathic treatment is started conventional local applications such as steroids and internal anti-allergic or anti-itch medicines need to be tapered off and can temporarily aggravate the condition. This aggravation does come into control once the homeopathic medicines take effect usually within the first 1-2 months and sometimes longer.

Do children grow out of eczema?

Yes they do, however it is much more likely in mild forms of eczema affecting relatively a smaller portion of the body. You can either moisturize the skin or make a few dietary changes which can help ease the symptoms of eczema as well. However, we see a significant number of children who do not naturally grow out of it and may have agonizing and uncontrollable symptoms such a itching. We strongly believe that your child can be speared form this and homeopathy can guide the body towards recover, without any side effects.

Case photos:

The photos shown here are of a child from the UK suffering from Atopic dermatitis/Eczema and very dry skin for over a year. He was treated at our centre in India (Mumbai) in mid 2005 for a period of 1 month and for another 2 months in the UK under our care. All local applications as well as internal anti-allergic meds were stopped and the child was purely on homeopathic medicines. In the first 2-3 weeks we saw a mild aggravation which followed by a miraculous recovery clearing the skin in the first 2 months itself. No dietary changes were recommended in this particular case.

The patient failed to communicate with us over the next 3 years and was recently seen in Nov 2009 when the most recent photos shown here were taken. On enquiring we learnt that the child had completely recovered from the eczema during the treatment period and had never recurred except for some dry localized patches of minimal intensity.

Tonsillitis homeopathic treatment and homeopathy medicine

Over 60,000 Cases from across the globe treated at our centres. Would you like to be one of them? Highly recommended for all age groups as the treatment has no side effects or contraindications…

You need to be aware that your tonsils can be saved from being removed if Homeopathic medicines are started timely, with the added benefit of improving your immune system, which prevents frequent relapses.

Research shows that removal of tonsils and adenoids does not impact future immunity. However, the reason for recurrent tonsil and adenoid enlargement is poor immunity. Therefore, improving this immune response is crucial in saving the tonsils and adenoids. If your immune response is boosted there would be no need for their removal.

Homeopathic medicines and the treatment we offer works by improving your immune system, fighting infection and reducing your response to allergens, thereby guiding your body towards recovery.

We at HomeoConsult RD strongly recommend children and adults to first try homeopathy as the treatment outcome is very favorable and has absolutely no known side effects or contraindications.
