Homeopathy & osteoporosis
Osteoporosis — literally means 'holes inside the bone.' — It can be as or even more painful than hole in your pocket and can even become the reason for hole in your pocket, thanks to medical & hospitalisation costs skyrocketing in today's times.
Osteoporosis is one of the most common metabolic bone disorders. What happens here is your bone mass is reduced; its composition, however, remains normal, or unaffected. The reduction results in imbalance among the formation and loss of bone, which is difficult to treat.
If the disorder isn't prevented, or left untreated, it can lead to bone fractures. Evidence-based research suggests that homeopathic treatment for osteoporosis can bring about stability and relieve aching bones, and also help prevent, or heal, fractures too.

What causes osteoprososis?
Bones, as you know, comprise of minerals like calcium and phosphorus. These minerals are important to make bones tough and dense. We therefore require adequate supply of calcium and other minerals; besides, body needs to produce suitable quantities of numerous hormones, which includes parathyroid hormone, growth hormone, calcitonin, oestrogen, as well as testosterone. Furthermore, an adequate supply of vitamin D is in addition required to take in calcium from meals that we consume and integrate it into the bones.
While we are young all these functions take place smoothly. However, with age, bone mass is lost faster than it's created. Also, the body lacks in production of certain hormones, particularly estrogen in women. Females, especially those older than 60 years of age, are frequently diagnosed with osteoporosis because menopause is accompanied by lower estrogen levels and increases a woman's risk for osteoporosis.

Homeopathy: the safe, effective treatment for osteoporosis
Homeopathy brings better stability and promotes better and efficient absorption and use of minerals and other nutrients. Regular homeopathic treatment for osteoporosis allows improving bone structure, slows down bone loss, and if started early, puts off the onset of the condition. Homeopathy treats osteoporosis from a holistic perspective, whilst helping to carry all components of a patient's existence into stability to support bodily and physiological health.
Evidence-based studies, supported with medical outcomes, also attest that homeopathic treatment can relieve aching bones and save you, or heal, fractures too.
Prevention is better than treatment — besides, it makes sense to prevent lack of bone density than restore bone density once it is lost. A simple plan of preventative motion might involve upkeep or enhancement of bone density. This may frequently be carried out by ingesting sufficient amounts of calcium and Vitamin D, getting engaged in specialist-advocated weight-bearing sporting events and taking medicinal drugs on a normal basis.
