A person having a weight below the range that is considered normal as per his/her height and age is believed to be underweight. Many persons may be underweight simply because of their genetic makeup. Others may be underweight because of other factors such as eating less or taking a diet insufficient in nutrients. There are a few medical conditions that make a person lose weight and fall in the underweight category. These medical conditions include IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), tuberculosis, Crohn’s disease, and liver problems. A person who is stressed or depressed may also lose weight. Homeopathic medicines for gaining weight help put on weight naturally. 
Being underweight makes a person prone to lowered immunity. A weak immune system increases the risk of recurrent infections. Anaemia, tiredness, hair loss, weak bones, osteoporosis are other negative outcomes of being underweight. In women, being underweight puts you at a greater risk of amenorrhea, difficulty in getting pregnant and complications during pregnancy.
Homeopathic Medicines for Gaining Weight
Homeopathy medicines are extremely helpful for persons looking to gain weight. Homeopathy offers a wide range of medicines that can help underweight persons gain weight in a healthy way. The selection of medicines for gaining weight is based on individual case presentation. The medicines help gain weight while at the same time building immunity. In fact, Homeopathy medicines work by correcting the underlying medical condition that has caused the weight loss in the first place, thereby improving the overall health condition of the person concerned. Iodum, Natrum Mur, China, Cal. Phos and Ferrum Met are the top remedies.
1. Iodum – For Gaining Weight
Iodum rates among the most suitable medicines for gaining weight. Iodum is most useful in cases where a person continues to lose weight even while having a balanced diet. Such persons have a good appetite and eat well, yet go on losing flesh. They look thin and emaciated. Great debility, nervousness, heated sensation are other complaints. Iodum is also considered a great prescription for underweight persons who have an overactive thyroid gland. It is considered one of the exceptionally effective Homeopathic medicines for gaining weight again in such cases.
2. Natrum Mur – For People Losing Weight due to Long-standing Grief, Depression
Natrum Mur is one of the most preferred medicines for gaining weight in persons who lose weight and start to look emaciated due to grief or depression. Persons who need Natrum Mur have severe depression. They constantly dwell on the past and shut off from society. Weeping and lack of self-care are key symptoms. Such persons avoid meals and look extremely thin. Natrum Mur helps overcome depression and restores good health in such cases.
3. China – For Weight Loss due to Chronic Diarrhea
China is one of the top listed medicines for gaining weight in people with long-standing diarrhea. Such persons have low weight, marked weakness and fainting spells. Excessive flatulence and bloated abdomen are other complaints. Homeopathic medicine China helps to regain the healthy state that has been ruined because of chronic diarrhea. It is rated among the best medicines for gaining weight and restoring good health in this category.
4. Calcarea Phos – For Underweight People with Weak Bones
Calcarea Phos is another of the wonderful medicines for gaining weight in persons who suffer weak bones in addition to weight loss. The bones are thin, brittle and prone to fractures. Calcarea Phos helps to gain weight and strengthen bones at the same time. Calcarea Phos is also helpful in persons having a weak spine disposed to curvatures. It is also an extraordinary medicine to promote weight gain in underweight children who are emaciated, thin and show weak and tardy development. This child also shows slow development of speech, late dentition and is slow in learning how to walk.
5. Ferrum Met – For Underweight People with Anaemia
In underweight persons who are also anemic, Ferrum Met is one of the most beneficial medicines for gaining weight. Such persons also complain of weakness, lack of stamina, debility, pallor of the face, blue circles around the eyes and palpitations on exertion. Bleeding tendencies may also prevail. Ferrum Met is the ideal prescription among medicines for gaining weight in such cases.
Dr. Sharma,
Greetings for the day ,
The details you mentioned on website regarding weight gain is very useful information, but I have doubts how homeopathy works because i have read on most of the articles on Google but everywhere it is mentioned that it is alternative medicine,it is placebo,it does not work.please clear these doubts ,if is effective why it is written so. And why the name of the medicine not given is there any medicine or its just a in mind that you are taking medicine that has positive effects on health
Thanks and Regards

Dear doctor, my daughter is 6 years 8 months old. She was delayed in her motor skills like walking, writing etc. for which no medicines were given. She has very slow hair growth. Her skin is quite dry. (I looked in internet and I think she resembles the Silicea child who is pale and dry). She eats normal but remains underweight. She is very fond of cheese. She likes eggs (both boiled and omlette) and meat. But I have to control her food, else she tends to get dysentric. I allow one egg a day with some misses. And meat is also allowed once in weekend. Her stool is generally large and hard. She responded well on Bryonia for her cough. She used to be very nagging wanting to be carried and wanting her work to be done.( I had to leave her with domestic help while I am out for the day from when she was 6 months, not sure if it is a result of that. ) I am giving her Calc Phos 6x one tablet daily (since 2 weeks) and I see change in her mood. I am thinking on increasing that to 2 tablets a day. And, she is has to be more clothed than her peers, otherwise she has tendency to catch cold. She is very thin. I am thinking if I should give her Calceriea Carb. And if so then can I start with Calcerea Carb 30, and what are the signs to watch for to understand whether it is working for her? Kindly advise.
