Homeopathic remedy for sugar cravings

Although sugar is considered to be one of the most essential fuels that our body needs, in order to maintain and provide energy for almost all of life’s normal processes, the first association many get is that of sugar related problems. This is, of course, the fact when a person consumes not the type of sugar found in whole foods (in balance with the rest of the nutrients and minerals), but that found elsewhere, extracted and refined artificially. Unlike natural sugars found in foods such as fruits, this refined sugar should be consumed only in very minimal doses.

 

Well, here is where natural treatment strategies come in as saviors to deliver you from sugar cravings, and many people most specifically want to turn to homeopathy for help.

For those not that familiar with the “ways” of homeopathy, this natural treatment method is based on the employment of tiny quantities of substances originating from various plants, minerals or even animals for the purpose of aiding our body in establishing that healthy and favorable balance, by means of awakening the body’s inborn potential to heal itself.

 

In a more picturesque manner, in case you experience intense sugar cravings and are absolutely “mad” for sweets, the homeopathic expert you decided to turn to will first of all ask of you to tell them all the specifics of your physical and mental state. This way, the homeopath, who looks at the whole body when deciding on treatment rather than only a part of it, will be able to formulate the best possible homeopathic treatment, which is to be precisely tailored to fit your health needs.

Calcarea is a medicine that is made from calcium, and is the probable one to be recommended when a person in question craves sweets while experiencing a headache.

 

Argentum Nitricum, also known as silver nitrate, is extremely effective in those cases when a person is suffering from diarrhea due to anxiety and is absolutely “mad” about both, salty foods and sweets.

 

Sulphur may also be prescribed. Though in most cases this homeopathic remedy is recommended for the treatment of skin related problems, it is also found to be helpful in curbing sweet cravings such as cravings for ice cream or chocolate.

 

Lycopodium is a remedy that is likely to be employed in those cases where the extremely intense sugar cravings a person experiences are followed by a bloated and rumbling stomach. One thing to have in mind is that these symptoms can also be in direct relation with self-esteem issues and lack of confidence in a person, according to homeopathic schools of thought.

 

Gymnema has been known for quite some time as one of the most effective aids in warding off and successfully fighting sugar cravings, as well as treating obesity and diabetes. In one study it was shown that, by simply chewing Gymnema, a person’s urge for sweets and sugar decreases significantly.
