What is Neurological Disorders?

The human body has a very intricate nervous system composed of a network of nerves. The nervous system — which consists of the motor nervous system, the sensory nervous system, and the autonomic nervous system — performs several important functions. Any problem connected to it demands thorough examination to ascertain the disease and prescribe the right medicine.

Any dysfunction to the nervous system can lead to serious neurological complaints like paralysis, apoplexy, epilepsy, and hysteria. A demyelinating disease is caused by damage to the protective myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. When the myelin sheath is damaged, nerve impulses stop or slow down, causing a host of neurological problems.

Common demyelinating diseases include multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica, optic neuritis, transverse myelitis, and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. Of these, multiple sclerosis is the most common — caused by inflammation and injury to the myelin sheath, resulting in multiple areas of sclerosis or scarring.

Symptoms

Paralysis of body parts (vocal cords, tongue, eyelids, face, bladder, extremities)
Tearing and drawing pains with severe weakness
Dizziness, trembling, and drowsiness
Muscle cramps and lack of muscle coordination
Numbness and tingling sensation
Impaired or blurry vision
Restless legs and weak ankles
Vulnerability to light, sound, touch, and thunder
Locomotor ataxia

Causes

Inflammation and injury to the myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers
Autoimmune response attacking the nervous system
Genetic and constitutional predisposition
Infections triggering demyelinating disorders
Unknown triggers in many cases

Homeopathic Treatment Approach

Homeopathy has excellent remedies for neurological disorders. Homeopathic treatment is centered on the individual's pathological condition, constitutional type (physical, emotional, psychological makeup), and medical history. An experienced homeopath considers all factors, including miasmatic tendency, before deciding treatment. Some of the key remedies for demyelinating diseases are:

Causticum

Effective for multiple sclerosis manifesting as chronic paralytic affections. Symptoms include tearing and drawing pains, severe weakness, and total paralysis of body parts like vocal cords, tongue, eyelids, face, bladder, and extremities. The patient may experience impaired vision, dark spots in the centre of vision, and restless legs with weak ankles at night.

Gelsemium

The best-known homeopathic treatment for motor paralysis. Acts on the nervous system when there is dizziness, trembling, drowsiness, and paralysis of the throat, larynx, and extremities. Strong indications include muscle cramps, lack of muscle coordination, watery urine, chilliness, tremulousness, partial bladder paralysis, heavy eyelids, and blurry vision.

Oxalic Acid

Effective for multiple cerebral and posterior spinal sclerosis. Indications include lancinating, shooting, and jerking pains in external body parts, muscular prostration, numbness, tingling sensation, and backache.

Phosphorus

The best remedy for atrophy and softening of the brain and spinal cord causing prostration, trembling, numbness, and complete paralysis. Symptoms include locomotor ataxia and paralysis extending from fingertips to toes. The patient experiences heightened sensitivity to light, sound, touch, and thunder.
