Homeopathy Safe Option for Sciatica

Homeopathy is beneficial in treating sciaticitis. It is a viable option to cure this disease. It is better to consult a qualified homeopath and get treated.

Sciatica is characterized by pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in our body, running from the back of the pelvis, through the buttocks, and down both legs to the feet, and when it is irritated or compressed it causes pain, numbness and a tingling sensation that travels from the lower back down through one or both legs to the feet and toes.

One can opt for sciaticitis homeopathy treatment.

The pain can range from being mild to very painful. It can be made worse by sitting for long periods, or by sneezing and coughing. There can be muscle weakness too in the affected leg. Often, sciatica can be accompanied by general back pain.

Homeopathy indeed does not treat illness or diseases. It treats the individual who has been diagnosed with a particular illness or disease. 

Colocynth

There are pains in the sciatic nerve that extend to the knee or to the heel, worse from any motion, and especially aggravated by cold. The pain is paroxysmal, followed by numbness and partial paralysis. There is a sensation which has been described as if the thigh were bound with iron bands, or as though screwed in a vise; the muscles are fearfully tense as well as fixed.

This is also part and parcel of sciaticitis homeopathy treatment.

Gnaphalium

This remedy is rather quite similar to Colocynthis. It has intense neuralgic pains along one’s nerve and numbness. The whole trunk and the main branches seem affected, worse when lying down, worse from motion, stepping as well as better while sitting in a chair. The pains do extend to the toes.

Arsenicum

With this remedy the pain is marked by complete intermissions; it exacerbates every night at a particular hour, and does become unbearable; it is increased by vigorous and is relieved by gentle motion. It is aggravated by a cold but relieved momentarily by warmth. It is pure neuralgia, not inflammatory, toxaemic or reflex. Arsenicum is one of our most reliable remedies in sciatic.

Rhus tox

This remedy does typify sciatic with muscular and ligamentous involvement. It is seldom adapted to recent cases but does come in later. The pains are tearing as well as burning, worse during rest, alleviated a short time only during motion. There are lameness and a disposition to muscular twitching, bowels are constipated. It is rheumatic sciatica, the fibrous sheath of the nerve thus being involved. It provides much relief from warmth. 

Arnica 

Arnica happens to be a remedy for sciatica due to over-exertion. The acute pains are followed by a sensation as if bruised. 

Ruta Grav

This remedy also has rather shooting pains down one’s back, down the sciatic nerve on first moving or on rising after sitting; the patient is obliged to walk about constantly during the paroxysms of pain. The pains are felt most in the region of the knee. It is worse during damp or cold weather and from cold applications. 

Bryonia

Bryonia has shooting pains worse from motion and is relieved by hard pressure. It is a valuable drug in the treatment of sciatica of rheumatic origin. 

Kali iodatum

The pains calling for this remedy are worse at night, and from lying on one’s affected side, better from motion. When of mercurial or syphilitic origin, it is of course well indicated and may help, but it is not a very reliable remedy. 

Kali Bich

Darting pains in the left thigh relieved by motion. 

Phytolacca

The pains are darting as well as tearing, aggravated by motion. It is perhaps better adapted to syphilitic cases. 

Colchicum

Right-sided sharp-shooting pains that extend to the knee, worse by motion; the patient must keep quite. The pain is sudden, constant and intolerable.

Nux vomica

From its action on the spinal cord, Nux is frequently the remedy in sciatica. It has lightning-like pains, with which twitching of the parts. Violent pains have to change position; pains shoot down into the foot, the limb is stiff and contracted and the parts feel paralyzed and cold. 

Sciaticitis homeopathy treatment is indeed effective and safe.
