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.

Colchicum is another excellent treatment for loss of appetite. It helps to promote appetite in such cases. Colchicum is most helpful when nausea is present along with the loss of appetite. A person requiring Colchicum gets nauseous at the thought or smell of food. The patient feels hungry, but on smelling food, the appetite vanishes. If food is somehow taken, it seems tasteless. Colchicum helps to reduce nausea and stimulate the appetite.
5. Ignatia – Anorexia From Depression or Sadness
Ignatia is a high-grade treatment for loss of appetite. It helps to bring back appetite in patients who have lost their appetite due to depression. The guiding feature to use Ignatia is a loss of appetite from sadness, grief, and depression. A patient needing Ignatia refuses to eat and is absorbed in sad thoughts. The person feels sad and disappointed all the time, avoids the company of people, and feels exhausted both mentally and physically. Ignatia will help to recover from depression and assist in regaining the healthy appetite.

I HAVE LOSS OF APTATE FELING HAVENESS IN STOMACH VOMITING SENSATION,PLEASE ADVISE MEDICINE
I vomited severely. Now feel full when eat. No appetite. Weak tired.
My daughter who is six had Covid when she was four and since then does not like to eat. Unless it’s sweet or salty, but never vegetables and hardly any fruit and definitely not meat she survives on pistachios, juice, waffles, what remedy would work best for her? Before Covid, she had a very good appetite and would try new foods
We have the same situation. Our 3.5 year old used to eat everything and love all and any foods. Ever since he had COVID 2 years ago, he will only eat fruits incl citrus, berries, bananas, melons and carbs of any type (breads, pastries, some oats) and salty crispy snacks. We’re so desperate, he won’t touch meat, vegetables, anything healthy, he refuses, screams at the look of any of it. He drinks his two cups of ripple kids milk on top of all the carbs but this can’t be healthy. Which homeopathic remedy should we approach?
