Homeopathic medicines for Peripheral Neuropathy.
Homeopathic Treatment of Peripheral Neuropathy
The homeopathic mode of treatment remains quite effective in managing peripheral neuropathy. The approach to homeopathic treatment for peripheral neuropathy is entirely symptomatic. The symptoms of the patient in a given case of peripheral neuropathy serve as the basis of homeopathic prescription. Every case of peripheral neuropathy needs to be thoroughly investigated to rule out the cause behind it. Every individual case requires a detailed case analysis to find the presenting symptoms unique to them. The homeopathic medicines for treating peripheral neuropathy are very safe to use among people of all age groups. A person should take homeopathic medicines for peripheral neuropathy under the supervision of a homeopathic physician and avoid self – medication.

Symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy
The nervous system in our body is divided into two major divisions – the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system includes the spinal cord and the brain. The peripheral nervous system consists of a network of nerves that lie outside the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system connects the nerves from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body (organs, limbs, and skin). The peripheral nervous system has 43 pairs of motor and sensory nerves. Peripheral nerves are of three types – sensory, motor and autonomic. The primary functions of these nerves are as follow:
Sensory nerves are responsible for transmission of signals like pain, touch, temperature and other sensations to the brain.
Motor nerves are held responsible for control of muscles.
Autonomic nerves are responsible for regulating autonomic functions of the body such as bladder function, digestion, body temperature, and blood pressure.
The peripheral neuropathy can be a mononeuropathy (damage to a single peripheral nerve) or a polyneuropathy (malfunctioning of multiple peripheral nerves at the same time). The symptoms of this disorder depend on the type of peripheral neuropathy.
Sensory neuropathy: The symptoms of sensory neuropathy are numbness, tingling, pricking, pin/needle sensation, hypersensitivity and burning sensation in the hands and feet. The symptoms can spread up the arm and leg.
Motor neuropathy: The symptoms of motor neuropathy include muscle weakness, paralysis, twitching/cramping of muscles, wasting/thinning of muscles, impaired balance, and coordination.
Autonomic neuropathy: The symptoms of autonomic neuropathy include rapid heart rate, bowel/bladder symptoms, diarrhea/constipation, blood pressure changes, increased/decreased sweating and erectile dysfunction in men.
Other reasons for peripheral neuropathy include an injury to nerves, low levels of vitamin B12, infections like shingles, Epstein-Barr, hepatitis C, and autoimmune diseases like Guillain-Barre syndrome, lupus, and necrotizing vasculitis. Excessive alcohol intake, tumors pressing on the nerves, chronic liver/kidney disease, thyroid disorders, certain medications including phenytoin, thalidomide, toxins like arsenic, mercury, inherited disorders like Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease are some other causes of peripheral neuropathy. In some cases, there may be no identifiable cause.
I am feeling that I am walking on a mattress since three years. Since 18 months pain, burning and pricking sensations started on both the feet mostly during night affecting sleep. Some nights it is severe and of late I am afraid of the approach of night. I am running 82 and become diabetic since 18 months taking Metformin ER and my sugar level is almost normal.. I have been taking Gabalin and Neuro plus caps for neuropathy. I am feeling pain on my feet while walking with chappals, but on naked feet pain is bearable.
What is the use, no replies? I don’t see any to the questions
My father (age-76) has difficulty in walking. This problem started about 7 years back and the condition has degraded over time. He feels kind of foam/sponge under his feet (more on left feet) while walking hence he feels loss of balance and therefore manages his own daytime routine using very small steps to move around in home. Sometimes condition improves by ~10% but within a few days it again degrades. He has been taking medications in past with consultation from various Doctors but overall condition has not improved. One of the doctors describe it as Neuropathy. Is this problem can be treated with Homeopathy treatment ? If yes, please revert the mode of consultation within India (Online) and other details. Thanks.

Can you recommend a remedy for my dog. She has laryngeal paralysis and peripheral neuropathy in her hind legs. There is a concern that she might be early stage megaesophagus. It seems like from what’s written above that causticum would be worth a try.
I am a diabetic for the last 50 years, controlling blood sugar by use of medicines, mainly metformin only. I have diabetic neuropathy, tingling sensation and loss of sensation on the right leg between thigh and knee. I had similar sensation on the left thigh in small patch. In addition, I feel warmth in both my feet and pricking sensation while walking on tarred roads. I have been talking homoeopathic medicine for this condition from doctors but I don’t know the names of medicines.

Good day Dr. Sharma, I’m searching on how or what homeopathy can help relieve the excruciating pain, burning, swelling in hands. At times it feels like my hands will explode. I have shooting pains across the top of my feet but it’s bearable. I have type 2 diabetes, taking Trijardy XR 10 mg/5 mg/1000 mg. I also take Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 mg & Gabapentin 300 mg. along with Tumeric. This regiment is not working & strength in my hands has diminished.
I would appreciate any suggestions you may have on what I might try to alleviate shooting, stabbing pains & burning in hands.
Thank you kindly

Pl let me know homeopathic medicine for treatment of neuopathy
Dear Dr Sharma, I’m a 70 year old male, and not diabetic, but I have been feeling numbness from the feet up to mu buttocks and groin. I have a bad back pain and my doctor says this has caused a nerve damage.
The numbness happens when I walk fir up to 10 minutes. It starts gradually from the feet then it climbs up to my groin area. When it happens, I hardly feel my feet, and have to sit down for a while before I’m able to walk again.
My doctor gives me steroid injection which makes me feel normal, but after some few weeks, the numbness comes again.
Please any suggestions?
