Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder in which a person has persistent unwanted thoughts. This obsession with unwanted thoughts in the mind leads to distress and certain repeated behaviour or actions, with the compulsion to control that distress. This disorder is genetic or runs in families.
Homeopathy is a widely acclaimed natural healing science that can help to treat numerous psychological complaints including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It offers a very safe, natural and effective treatment for OCD. Homeopathic remedies strike at the root of the problem of OCD to bring symptomatic relief followed by complete recovery in most of the cases having mild to moderate intensity. The medicines used in conventional mode to treat OCD are habit forming in nature and known to have several side effects; these are recommended for a lifetime in many cases. Homeopathic remedies for OCD on the other hand are completely safe and can only help, never harm. They have zero side effects due to their natural origin and carry no risk of dependency. One need not to take it for a lifetime. Once symptoms improve to a great extent, these can be gradually stopped entirely.
Homeopathy targets core of OCD for great recoveries
The origin of psychological health conditions including OCD is attributed to some considerable derangement in the functioning of the mind. Such kind of medical conditions are very deep- rooted, hence treatment is required that reaches the core of the problem to correct inner disturbances of the mind and brings recovery. Homeopathy offers this kind of treatment that targets the core issue and brings harmony in the disturbed inner mechanism of the mind thus bringing remarkable recoveries.
Constitutional treatment
In homeopathy, OCD is treated as per the constitution of the person. It means homeopathic medicine is prescribed based on mental and physical traits of a person in addition to genetically inherited qualities. So, homeopathic prescription varies from case to case. Constitutional remedies bring great recoveries by boosting the body to self-heal in a very gentle and harmless way.
Homeopathy is much more than just providing symptom relief
Though symptom relief is the first thing that homeopathic medicines offer in the very beginning of treatment. Their action does not stop at providing temporary relief. It further aims to bring the complete restoration of mental well-being and cure in OCD. If the prescribed homeopathic course is followed regularly, cure may occur in many cases of mild to moderate intensity. However, it may not be able to bring cure in severe cases that have reached to a stage beyond the scope of homeopathic treatment. But here one may opt for the use of homeopathic treatment along with simultaneous conventional treatment to achieve whatever best these two treatment methods can offer conjointly.

Doctor, I have ocd about thoughts I hate my own religion.
religion and i nagative feeling about it and lot of sexual feelings comes to my mind
Hi, Dr. I need help. I have gone through a terrible phase in my life since 2017. I had symptoms of OCD. I have an overthinking brain. I go into rumination. Though I try, it often becomes a cycle in my brain. Eventually, I realized and spoke to a psychiatrist. He gave me medication, but I discontinued that as it wasn’t helping. My self healing happened when I realized my behavior pattern and somehow got that gift from God.
I am very active, physically. I am working. The thing which I have not been able to overcome is sexual intrusive thoughts. And sometimes I end up talking to myself when I am too disturbed or stressed out. I also experience pain in my brain at times. Please help me out with medication for mental clarity.
I would like an appointment with Dr pleaase

Hi Dr. Sharma,
I find your articles very helpful so I wanted to ask you about body dysmorphia disorder. My 13 yo daughter suffers from this, she believes she is ugly and is scared/disgusted with her body. She turns miroir so she doesn’t see herself and hides under layers of clothes and won’t take îthem off to shower even,
What remedies could [possibly work for such cases?
Appreciate your reply.
My 6 year old son always has something he focuses on and it changes. Touching his hair repeatedly, touching his privates. Picking his nails, etc. They seem to be sensory issues. He will say it feels wierd etc. He is in an excellerated program in school. Pics up on things quickly and wants to understand everything. Extremely obstinate needs to be right and always says why or argues with everything. I have tried Ferrum. Calc. Puls. Gelsemium for stage freight. He is also prone to asthma from allergies. I have considered syphilinum
I’m looking for help for my husband. He has been diagnosed with OCD, but he does not want to take medicine so I’m exploring the option of home remedies. As far as I have read from your article, I think that Nux Vomica, Arsenicum Album and Carcinosinum would be the best for him. I’m just not sure how to purchase these or if they are safe taking all together. He already take medication for high blood pressure and thyroidism so he is afraid it may counteract.
How can we speak to someone to get a better read on what he would need?
Hey! I have ocd, intrusive thoughts of hurting myself, specifically while I’m driving, I get these thoughts of what if I drive off the cliff. They are so strong that at this point I’m scared of driving. My everyday route is on the narrow mountain road, where one side of the road is mountain wall and other side is a cliff. I feel stuck on the road(meaning where I can’t get out of this situations and panic, kind of like claustrophobia)and get intrusive thoughts of hurting myself. What Homepathic medicine would help with that? Thanks!
