Have you or your family members including your pets ever been diagnosed with any chronic diseases? Have you popped pills as if they were candies? Have you been trying to recover rapidly but feeling weaker and more exhausted with every passing day? Every time you go to the physician, are you prescribed a different medicine for each symptom \u2013 and yet, you only seem to move 2 steps ahead and then backward \u2013 in a loop? Have you been referred from one doctor to another, to look at various parts of your body?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If yes, then it is a good idea to take a step back and introspect. What makes you ill?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As homeopaths, we approach diseases and patients a bit differently. We adopt a holistic approach where we listen and learn as much as we can to get to the root of the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your immune system is an important factor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of looking at any disease as one affecting your stomach, joints, hormones or as a myriad of external factors like allergens, viruses, bacteria, fungi and such, we approach it from inside-out \u2013 what makes an individual fall ill? Almost always, the immune system takes a hit before any infection or disease sets in. If your body lets its guard down, you fall sick. Which illness occurs, depends on environmental and genetic factors as well as the lifestyle of the individual (whether human or animal).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, what about allergies? Allergy is an over-active but misfired or altered immune response, unlike bacteria, fungal, or similar ones which occur due to deficient immunity. If your body adversely reacts to otherwise benign environmental substances, it is an allergy. Thus, your body\u2019s immune system plays a significant role in allergies, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emotional stress and its impact on immunity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When we are under emotional stress, the body\u2019s functioning and balance is disturbed \u2013 there can be alterations in the immune system, hormonal system, sense of wellbeing, nervous system, or mental health itself. How does this happen? This is a complex mechanism, but we know that each emotion is associated with biochemical changes in the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
