Case study of Successful Treatment of Rickets by Homeopathy

Homeopathic treatment for Rickets

Baby D.G, 1 year 6 months old female child residing at Matunga came to HomoeoCARE with complaints of a tendency to fall frequently while walking. On examination and investigation, she was diagnosed with Rickets by a senior pediatrician. She was taking Calcium and Vitamin D supplements but no significant improvement was seen.

What is Rickets, its causes, and Treatment

Vitamin D deficiency causes Rickets, softening, and weakening of bones in children. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of Calcium and Phosphorus. These nutrients make bones strong and healthy. Rickets results in weak and soft bones, stunted growth, and occasionally skeletal deformities. Common treatment of Rickets includes Calcium and Vitamin D supplements.

Homeopathic treatment of Rickets

Rickets is due to deficiency of Calcium, Phosphate, or Vitamin D. Conventional approach is to give vitamin D and calcium supplements. This is helpful in cases when the child is not getting enough nutrients in the food. But in those cases, where the problem lies in absorption of these nutrients from the food, such cases giving additional supplements will not help. The problem is in absorption and not in supply. In such cases, once you stop taking these supplements rickets relapse. 

Homeopathic treatment of rickets is useful in such cases. Homeopathic medicines help in improving the absorption of nutrients from food. No additional external supplement is needed. Homeopathic medicines for Rickets enhance the utilization of nutrients thereby improving the general health of the individual which in turn makes the bone healthy and stronger. 

After the homeopathic treatment started, she started falling less frequently and within 3 months she was walking without falling. After one month we asked for an investigation and it showed normal levels of Vitamin D and she was cured of Rickets successfully by homeopathic medicines at HomoeoCARE.
