A person having a weight below the range that is considered normal as per his/her height and age is believed to be underweight. Many persons may be underweight simply because of their genetic makeup. Others may be underweight because of other factors such as eating less or taking a diet insufficient in nutrients. There are a few medical conditions that make a person lose weight and fall in the underweight category. These medical conditions include IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), tuberculosis, Crohn’s disease, and liver problems. A person who is stressed or depressed may also lose weight. Homeopathic medicines for gaining weight help put on weight naturally. 
Being underweight makes a person prone to lowered immunity. A weak immune system increases the risk of recurrent infections. Anaemia, tiredness, hair loss, weak bones, osteoporosis are other negative outcomes of being underweight. In women, being underweight puts you at a greater risk of amenorrhea, difficulty in getting pregnant and complications during pregnancy.
Homeopathic Medicines for Gaining Weight
Homeopathy medicines are extremely helpful for persons looking to gain weight. Homeopathy offers a wide range of medicines that can help underweight persons gain weight in a healthy way. The selection of medicines for gaining weight is based on individual case presentation. The medicines help gain weight while at the same time building immunity. In fact, Homeopathy medicines work by correcting the underlying medical condition that has caused the weight loss in the first place, thereby improving the overall health condition of the person concerned. Iodum, Natrum Mur, China, Cal. Phos and Ferrum Met are the top remedies.
1. Iodum – For Gaining Weight
Iodum rates among the most suitable medicines for gaining weight. Iodum is most useful in cases where a person continues to lose weight even while having a balanced diet. Such persons have a good appetite and eat well, yet go on losing flesh. They look thin and emaciated. Great debility, nervousness, heated sensation are other complaints. Iodum is also considered a great prescription for underweight persons who have an overactive thyroid gland. It is considered one of the exceptionally effective Homeopathic medicines for gaining weight again in such cases.
2. Natrum Mur – For People Losing Weight due to Long-standing Grief, Depression
Natrum Mur is one of the most preferred medicines for gaining weight in persons who lose weight and start to look emaciated due to grief or depression. Persons who need Natrum Mur have severe depression. They constantly dwell on the past and shut off from society. Weeping and lack of self-care are key symptoms. Such persons avoid meals and look extremely thin. Natrum Mur helps overcome depression and restores good health in such cases.
3. China – For Weight Loss due to Chronic Diarrhea
China is one of the top listed medicines for gaining weight in people with long-standing diarrhea. Such persons have low weight, marked weakness and fainting spells. Excessive flatulence and bloated abdomen are other complaints. Homeopathic medicine China helps to regain the healthy state that has been ruined because of chronic diarrhea. It is rated among the best medicines for gaining weight and restoring good health in this category.
4. Calcarea Phos – For Underweight People with Weak Bones
Calcarea Phos is another of the wonderful medicines for gaining weight in persons who suffer weak bones in addition to weight loss. The bones are thin, brittle and prone to fractures. Calcarea Phos helps to gain weight and strengthen bones at the same time. Calcarea Phos is also helpful in persons having a weak spine disposed to curvatures. It is also an extraordinary medicine to promote weight gain in underweight children who are emaciated, thin and show weak and tardy development. This child also shows slow development of speech, late dentition and is slow in learning how to walk.
5. Ferrum Met – For Underweight People with Anaemia
In underweight persons who are also anemic, Ferrum Met is one of the most beneficial medicines for gaining weight. Such persons also complain of weakness, lack of stamina, debility, pallor of the face, blue circles around the eyes and palpitations on exertion. Bleeding tendencies may also prevail. Ferrum Met is the ideal prescription among medicines for gaining weight in such cases.

Hi Madam
My self Hasnain Arif aged 29 suffering with weight loss. My height 5.6 and weight 46kg …i m also suffering from Irritable bowl syndrome.. I want to gain weight along with bone improvement .
Will you please suggest best suited medicine.
Hi Priyanka,
Not sure if you are still in the same situation,, however, for the weight gain, you can use Natrum Mur 30 4 pills a day and Iodium 30 4 pills a day. For migraine, if its right sided then you can use Sangunaria 30. But my guess is you could be suffering from left sided Migraine. if that is the case then you could use Spigelia 30 4 pills a day.
Dear Sir,
My son age 19 years is presently undergoing dialysis(Hemeodialysis) since 6 Mar21. His blood group is AB-ve. He has also been administered 3 units of blood.
On 11 Mar21 they carried out surgery and inserted Cather and will be doing Peritoneal dialysis sometime next week (maybe 22Mar21 on wards).
Brief back ground : In Aug2003 my son had dysentery for a week was admitted in Hospital. But was discharged without cure. After being discharged through out the night he could not sleep, next day I rushed him to the hospital and Dr attending him transferred him to another hospital and thereafter they sent him to Command Hospital Kolkatta ( I was serving in the Army). At the hospital they carried out 32 dialysis and he became absolutely fine.
In around 16Jan2016 he complained of stomach ache due to constipation he was treated by a Allopathic Dr for 3 days thereafter he changed the medicine but without any respite. Then we got his blood test done and it was found that his Creatinine was3.5, Urea around 100; Uric Acid 6.1; Hb around9.
Since then he has been taking Ayurvedic and Homeopathic medicine. On 28Feb21 he suddenly collapsed but got revived after couple of mins. On 5 Mar21 got his blood test done it revealed HB5.1;Cr7.1;Urea175;Uric Acid8.1. and thereafter on 6Mar21 we got him admitted in the Hopsital.
His bone has become very brittle and has multiple hair line fractures on both the thighs and left knee completely immobilised. He hardly eats anything and has a very poor appetite (1 small/half chapptai with little veg/dal/ and now we have started giving him egg also on Dr advice.
Present Height is 5Ft (since 2016) ; weight is around 30kgs. Mentally very alert and sharp. On restricted water intake around 1 ltrs and out put is 820ml. His Urine out put has always been between 1200 to 1500ml (prior to 6Mar21).
Request advice.
