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.

I had a fall 3 weeks ago. I went down and hurt my leg initially it really hurt. I got up and walked home. It was very painful but I carried decorating for quite a few hours. After a while it didn’t trouble until a few days later I was running upstairs and I noticed a weird pulling sensation.
The pain disappears with rest. I looked after and picked up my grandchildren and ran to the car the pain came on again. Now I notice it only if I walk and stand.
What do you recommend, is there any homoepathic remedy that could speed recovery. Many thanks Elaine

Good day
I have been suffering from various aches and pain since about 2 years. The current problem that is harassing me is pain in my muscles, neck, shoulders and upper back. My doctor said that it is due to 2 things, 1. Premature pain from old age (I am 65) and pain from diabetes. The first time he has given me a treatment of cortisone which made the pain go away. This time round, I could not carry on feeling the paid, so I self medicated with cortisone again. (I could not go and see the doctor again for financial reasons as well as long distance travel.
I suffer from an other number of problems which require me to take the following medicines : Clopidogrel and Aspirin (TIA), Atorvastatin (Cholesterol), Betaserc 24mg and Stemetil (Vertigo), Metformin (Diabetis), Lasix and Amlodipine (HBP), Amitriptyline, Sertraline, Quetiapine Furamate and Timipramine (Depression) and finally Lormetazepam (Insomnia)
I am trying my best to go on a natural, meditation, Acupressure regimen to stop (in due course) to stop taking allopathic drugs. I have used homeopathy for a long time and even cured my wife from chronic sore throat. But I do not practice it anymore for various reasons
Could you see if their is any way that you can help me?
Many thanks
