The loss of appetite is known as Anorexia. There are various causes for the loss of appetite. Some causes are psychological in nature and include stress, grief and anxiety disorders. Other causes may be bacterial or viral infections. Diseases like hypothyroidism, tuberculosis, chronic liver disease, chronic kidney disease, hepatitis, and cancer can also lead to the loss of appetite. Certain medications and drug addictions also cause Anorexia. Another significant reason for the loss of appetite is Anorexia Nervosa. In homeopathy, cases of loss of appetite are treated with much success. Homeopathic treatment for loss of appetite uses medicines that help stimulate appetite.
Homeopathy helps by safely boosting the appetite. It works by correcting the cause of the anorexia to enhance the appetite. These medicines are useful for treating anorexia in patients of all age groups. Top grade homeopathic medicines to treat loss of appetite are Alfalfa, Antimonium Crudum, Psorinum, China, Colchicum, and Ignatia.

Dear Dr. Sharma,
I am actually trying to find homeopathic remedies for a bunny. She had 3 procedures done, which exposed her to too much anesthesia. One of the procedures was done painfully (teeth trimming) so heavy pain medication was prescribed, which made things worse. After the procedures and medication she developed anorexia. Then she was prescribed antibiotics, which aggravated the anorexia. I have been syringe feeding her and nothing jump starts her appetite. So, I am looking for homeopathic remedies. I had used them on myself; thus I know they work.
Thank you for your article, it gives very good ideas and guidance.
If you have some suggestions for my bunny, I would greatly appreciate it if you please let me know. Thank you very much!
