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.

Dear Dr.
I am 48 years old professor by profession. From last 30 years I am suffering from a pain which is moving in nature and important symptoms are:
it is not regular. Many times it does not occur even for months and when it happens it remains for one to seven or eight days
it is caused by no particular reason many times it just occurs only by having a thought about it
it concentrates in one part of leg or arm but mainly it appears in frontal portions
i feel relaxed on walking
it increases at the time of rest
it starts immediately after awakening
i have a feeling to press the particular area again and again but get no relief
no pain killer works on it
I have taken homeopathy treatment of many famous Drs of Ghaziabad and Meerut but of no worth
Once causticum worked and i had no pain for two years but then it failed on recurrence of the pain
I have deficiency of calcium
I am quiet emotional, lean and thin and wheatish complexioned
recently negative rheumatism is diagnosed but it is not related to my pain which has a history of 30 years
Please suggest some medicine
regards

Im suffering from my hole body pain plz plz suggest me what to do
Hello Dr. Sharma, I have been taking Rhus toxicodendron 30ch for several years now with good effect for arthritic type pain mostly in the fingers, knees, and neck. I recently fell and sustained an injury in the rib area and treated it with Arnica Montana 1m and changed up to rhus tox 1m. As the days went by, I started to suspect the possibility of a fractured rib 4 days after the injury went to have an x ray which showed 2 fractures in the Rt. back area. The day before I had increased the Rhus tox to 10M at bedtime and if I wake during the night and once during the day. I drop down to the 1m if I need it in between and also have been dropping back to the arnica 200ch when I can. My decreasing the doses when I can is largely due to the local health food store having to order the stronger doses for me and I am afraid of running out before they get them in. I did fill the Rx for Tylenol #3 the Dr. gave me after the x rays, but I would prefer not to take any. Would appreciate any suggestions on the above regime. Thank you
