HOMOEOPATHIC CARE FOR HEALTHY DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Food is one of the basic needs of human being. Like Oxygen and Water food is essential for survival and normal functioning of the body. We get all essential nutrients and energy from the food we eat. Digestive system is responsible for digestion of the food and getting all the essential nutrients and energy. After that the remaining part of the digested food is thrown out of the body. So digestive system is also responsible for cleansing of our body. Both these functions; getting nutrients and cleansing of body are very vital in overall health. And that is why healthy tummy is a key to healthy life. Homoeopathic medicines take care of your Digestive system gently and keep you healthy.

Digestive system starts from Mouth and ends at Anus. It comprises mouth, food pipe (esophagus), stomach, small and large intestines, rectum, anus and liver with gallbladder. The study of normal structure and functions of these organs comes under Gastroenterology. The environment around us is getting deteriorated day by day. Respiratory system and Digestive system are the two systems which get exposed to the hazardous elements through the air we inhale and food we eat. So diseases related to these systems are most prevalent nowadays.The common diseases of Digestive system are Piles, Fissure, GERD, Gastritis (Hyperacidity), Gastric ulcers, Gall stones, Liver cirrhosis and Cancer of rectum or stomach etc.

Hurry, Worry and Curry are the main culprits for the digestive troubles. In today’s modern world everybody is running in a rat race. Nobody has time to stop and relax. Many people don’t have proper timetable for eating food. Eating food has become a formality and we just gulp the food for filling up the stomach. Eating fast without chewing properly leads to improper digestion. Food has also become fast and this fast food is making our Digestive system slow and diseased. Lot of spicy and oily food is also very harmful for our stomach and intestines. Lack of fibrous food like fruits and vegetables and low intake of water add on the problem. With all above factors mental stress is taking heavy toll on the healthy functioning of Digestive system. All these multiple factors lead to hyperacidity, improper digestion and irregular bowel habits.

Hyperacidity and improper digestion are responsible for Stomach and Intestine diseases like Gastric and Duodenal ulcers, GERD Etc. Irregular bowel habit leads to constipation and causes diseases like Pile, Fissure and Fistula. Constipation can become chronic and people land into habit of taking different medicines for soft stools. Alcohol consumption and long-term intake of medicines like painkillers are also responsible for many liver and stomach diseases. Mental stress is mainly responsible for diseases like Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and Ulcerative colitis. The occurrences of cancers of stomach and rectum are increasing day by day. All these diseases make our Digestive system weak and that affects the overall health. Prevention and proper treatment of the diseases of Digestive system becomes very vital. Management of these diseases is multidisciplinary; which includes medicines, proper diet and regular yoga and exercise. Homoeopathic science believes in treating a person as a whole and does not consider systems and organs as separate entities. We treat mind and body together as a one unit and therefore healing takes place from within. Homoeopathic medicines help in following ways –

• Reduces the stress which is very important for proper functioning of Digestive system and management of diseases like Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
• Reduces the hyperacidity and halts the further progress of the disease.
• The bowel habit gets regularized with homoeopathic medicines and it cures the diseases likes Piles and fissures. Regular bowel habit reduces the chances of relapses.
• It nullifies the toxic effects of chronic alcohol consumption and painkiller and restores the normal functioning. In cases of cancer of stomach or rectum homoeopathy prevents the further spread of cancer and improves the quality of life.
• In advanced and incurable cancers homoeopathy plays the palliative role and eases the further journey of the patient.
