Nutrition Disorders Scientific Journals
Homeopathic medicines are effective in curative, preventive and promotive care without any adverse effects. Further these are also cost efficient. World
Health Organization (WHO) has cited Homeopathy as one of the traditional medicines. Government of India encourages its integration in the national
health care delivery along with the conventional medicine to ensure adequate outreach in
health care. The medicines are capable to stimulate the auto regulatory and self healing process of the body. Nutritional disorder is a major challenge before the
health care providers in several countries. The conventional approach categorise this under malabsorption and resorts to supplementation therapy. The holistic concepts of homeopathy believes that the nutritional disorder is not due to the deficiency of nutrients and
micronutrients alone, but also due to the body’s inability to absorb and assimilate them from the food and its inability to synthesize them wherever possible. This is considered as a constitutional error of the individual, which is further influenced by factors such as repeated infections, poor hygiene, emotional and low socio economic conditions. Constitutional correction through homoeopathic treatment facilitates the system to utilize the nutritional supply from food at an optimum extent. It will also take care of the adverse effects produced due to external supplements. More importantly, it is seen that in case of supplementary therapy, when it is stopped, the disorder reappear gradually, where as in constitutional approach, since the problem is dealt at the fundamental level, the nutritional status is maintained more efficiently for a long time.
