Peripheral neuropathy, characterized by tingling, numbness, and burning sensations, can significantly impact daily life. Homeopathy offers individualized remedies and tissue salts to address these symptoms holistically.

Understanding Neuropathy

Common Causes:

• Diabetes Mellitus: Chronic high blood sugar levels can damage peripheral nerves.
• Vitamin Deficiencies: Deficiencies in B12, B1, and E can impair nerve function.
• Alcoholism: Excessive alcohol intake can lead to nutritional deficiencies and nerve damage.
• Infections: Conditions like shingles or Lyme can affect nerve health.
• Autoimmune Diseases: Diseases such as Lupus or rheumatoid arthritis can lead to nerve inflammation.
• Physical Trauma: Injuries or repetitive stress can damage peripheral nerves.

Pathophysiology:

Peripheral nerves consist of sensory, motor, and autonomic fibres. Damage disrupts signal transmission between the central nervous system and the body, leading to symptoms like tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness.
