A progressive neurological disorder that causes brain cells to degenerate and die, leading to a continuous decline in thinking, behavioral, and social skills known as Alzheimer’s disease. This condition is the most common cause of dementia, a group of brain disorders that result in the loss of intellectual and social abilities severe enough to interfere with daily functioning.
Symptoms:
Loss of memory especially recent events.
Difficulty with problem-solving and complex tasks.
Struggles with planning and organizing.
Mood swings, including irritability, anxiety, and depression.
Social withdrawal and personality changes.
Difficulty finding the right words.
Reduced ability to read and write.
Lost in familiar places.
Keep the things here and there and unable to find them.
Risk Factors :
The risk increases significantly after age 65.
Having a first-degree relative with Alzheimer’s increases the risk.
Genetics.
Health Conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
Role of Homoeopathy in Alzheimer’s Disease
Homoeopathic remedies are individualized to each patient, considering their unique symptoms, disease progression, and overall constitution. Homoeopathy aims to stimulate the body’s innate healing mechanisms, promoting self-regulation and balance. Several studies have suggested that homoeopathic interventions may positively impact various aspects of Alzheimer’s disease.
Homoeopathic remedies have also shown promise in reducing oxidative stress, a major contributing factor to Alzheimer’s disease progression. Oxidative stress can damage brain cells, leading to neuronal dysfunction and cognitive decline. Certain homoeopathic remedies have antioxidant properties that may protect neural tissues from damage.
Furthermore, homoeopathy may support the immune system and enhance its ability to respond to the pathological changes in Alzheimer’s disease. Chronic inflammation is implicated in Alzheimer’s disease, and homoeopathy can modulate immune responses, promoting anti-inflammatory effects.
