Body aches are very common these days. It can occur from various reasons from mild to serious ones. It may simply arise from exertion, lack of sleep, stress or from different medical reasons, like viral/bacterial infections and arthritis (joint inflammation), among many other issues. The intensity and frequency of pain differ from case to case. The type of pain – aching, sore, cutting, tearing, sharp pain –varies from person to person.
Homeopathic remedies are very effective in treating body pains and aches. As body pain may arise from various sort of reasons, so for curing it that root cause has to be identified and treated. So in these cases, homeopathic medicines give excellent results by healing the internal cause behind it. Along with relieving body aches, these medicines also help in managing the attending symptoms like stiffness, soreness, fever and weakness. In conventional mode, pain killers, NSAIDs (non – steroidal anti – inflammatory drugs), steroids are being utilised to manage body aches as per the cause behind it that may have adverse effects from long-term use. While homeopathic medicines for body pains are a natural substitute for conventional medicines. These medicines help to reduce dependency on allopathic medicines to a great extent.
The selection of homeopathic medicine for body aches depends on the characteristic symptoms in every individual case. So homeopathic prescription varies from case to case and similar medicine is not prescribed in every case of body aches. This is as per the law of individualization in homeopathy.
Homeopathy is recommended for both acute and chronic cases of body aches. By following a regular course of homeopathic treatment as prescribed by a homeopathic physician, most of the cases of body aches recover completely. However, the time taken for complete healing depends on the duration and intensity of the problem.
The best feature while using homeopathic medicines for treating body pains is that they are free from side effects. This is because they are made from naturally occurring plants and substances that do not cause any harmful reaction.

Dr. Sharma,
Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and am 64 year old male. Horrible joint pain that I treated with Ruta 10m, yes 10m. Started with 200 moved to 1 m and then found out 10 m worked best. For 5 years had painful shoulder where I couldn’t move arm ( held straight ) past my waist. Had to take Percocet 5mg for pain management. After taking the Ruta for 1 week could lift arms to the ceiling. But seems like I have to stay on the Ruta. If I stop taking it for 3 days the pain in joints gets very bad again.
Side effect of the Ruta is that my large muscles ache and are very sore. When I breathe the muscles around my rib cage ache.
I have always had to take large doses of medication that’s why the 1m on most. Start of 200 then to 1 m.
Here’s what I’ve tried.
Ruta 1m, 10m
Pulasitilla 1m
Ledum Palustre 1m
Baryta carbonica 1m
Lycopodium Clavatum 1m
Thanks for your help.
