Homeopathic remedy for diabetes insipidus

Diabetes insipidus is the medical term for the condition marked by extreme thirst and by polyruia, which is the excretion of excessive amounts of urine. Diabetes insipidus is an uncommon disorder that causes an imbalance of water in the body - it occurs when your body can't regulate how it handles fluids.

This type of diabetes — diabetes insipidus — is not connected to the diabetes mellitus, although the names diabetes insipidus and diabetes mellitus sound similar. Diabetes mellitus — which can occur as type 1 or type 2 — is the more common form of diabetes and is one of the most prevailed diseases of a modern age.

There's no cure for diabetes insipidus, but treatments are available to relieve your thirst and normalize your urine output.
