Homeopathic Treatment for Gangrene

What is Gangrene?

Necrosis or death of body tissue is known as Gangrene. Lack of blood supply and infection are the major causes for gangrene. Health conditions that affect blood circulation may predispose a person to gangrene. The primary causes for gangrene are smoking, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, severe injuries, frostbite, peripheral arterial disease, and Raynaud’s phenomenon. Gangrene usually develops in the legs and feet. The types of gangrene include dry gangrene, wet gangrene, and gas gangrene. In dry gangrene, the skin shrivels and dries, and becomes brown, blue or black. Persons having atherosclerosis and peripheral artery disease are predisposed to dry gangrene. In wet gangrene, the affected body tissue is swollen, soft, emits a foul odor, and has blisters. Severe burns, frostbite, and injuries are predisposing factors for wet gangrene. In gas gangrene, the bacterial infection forms gas within the affected tissue. The most common bacteria leading to gas gangrene is Clostridium Perfringens. Wet and gas gangrene have a poor prognosis as compared to dry gangrene. Homeopathy can treat gangrene. Though the body tissues that have died cannot be revived, homeopathic treatment for gangrene can stop its progression. In dealing with a case of gangrene with homeopathy, a detailed case taking is required along with a precise analysis of the case for the final prescription. A well qualified homeopathic physician should be consulted to decide the most effective homeopathic medicine for gangrene, and self-medication must be avoided.

  4. Good afternoon,

    What would you recommend for a 91 year old female that has compromised capillary circulation in lower leg and foot with resulting wet gangrene. She is also bedridden and utilizes a feeding tube due to prior crisis. A vascular surgeon and infection disease doctor recommend amputation above the knee. Is there anything that can be applied externally to stop the wet gangrene and revert it to the dry gangrene that started in JAN23-April23. She does not want anything amputated, but may/will develop sepsis at anytime. Thank you for your time and recomendations(s).

    Dear Sharma Sir,
    I am from Coimbatore, Tamilnadu (India).
    My mother is suffering from gangrene. First it was affected right leg fingers and now left leg fingers too.. Dr said the affected finger will be cut off. She is having diabetics and insulin not working better to reduce the diabetics level. She is facing pain and unable to sleep every night.

    Is there any solution besides amputation. Please guide me I am worried. She already did surgery for the broken leg and plates were placed 9 months ago.
    Is it possible to cure without cutoff the fingers.. by following homeopathic medicine.

    Regards.

  10. Nancy Chicoine says:

    Hello, I’m Nancy. I love using the pillules to help all my family including myself and animals. My cat had injury with tail in door, no bleeding, just removal of fur and a break. I have seen a vet and dry gangrene has already set in, the tail is dead and black 3 inches from tip. My confusion with which pillules to use comes with the fact that surgery isn’t until next week and I’d like to try save as much tissue as possible between today and next week. Thank you ahead of time for your time and knowledge
