Body aches are very common these days. It can occur from various reasons from mild to serious ones. It may simply arise from exertion, lack of sleep, stress or from different medical reasons, like viral/bacterial infections and arthritis (joint inflammation), among many other issues. The intensity and frequency of pain differ from case to case. The type of pain – aching, sore, cutting, tearing, sharp pain –varies from person to person.
Homeopathic remedies are very effective in treating body pains and aches. As body pain may arise from various sort of reasons, so for curing it that root cause has to be identified and treated. So in these cases, homeopathic medicines give excellent results by healing the internal cause behind it. Along with relieving body aches, these medicines also help in managing the attending symptoms like stiffness, soreness, fever and weakness. In conventional mode, pain killers, NSAIDs (non – steroidal anti – inflammatory drugs), steroids are being utilised to manage body aches as per the cause behind it that may have adverse effects from long-term use. While homeopathic medicines for body pains are a natural substitute for conventional medicines. These medicines help to reduce dependency on allopathic medicines to a great extent.
The selection of homeopathic medicine for body aches depends on the characteristic symptoms in every individual case. So homeopathic prescription varies from case to case and similar medicine is not prescribed in every case of body aches. This is as per the law of individualization in homeopathy.
Homeopathy is recommended for both acute and chronic cases of body aches. By following a regular course of homeopathic treatment as prescribed by a homeopathic physician, most of the cases of body aches recover completely. However, the time taken for complete healing depends on the duration and intensity of the problem.
The best feature while using homeopathic medicines for treating body pains is that they are free from side effects. This is because they are made from naturally occurring plants and substances that do not cause any harmful reaction.

hey doc,
my name is Ricky & i am 59 yrs old. 21 years ago i was in an airplane crash, my airplane. I am a licensed pilot & what happened to me 21 years ago i should have died on impact alone along with a big ole fireball, that’s what usually happens every time you fly an airplane into the ground at 220 mph, they blow up & you die, end of story. well i hit the ground almost perpendicular, yeah tell me about it. well a second or two before i hit i closed my eyes thought of my daughter & bam! i hit the ground! No explosion, but most of all
No loss of consciousness ! i was still alive but i knew my legs were a mess. airlifted to hospital, two surgeons wanted to amputate both legs one said he could save them. both tib fibs were broken, compound fracture at right right ankle along with the aviator fracture on my right foot. both knees were as the doc said “pretty much disintegrated” over the next 3 years & 8 operations on my legs i was as good as i was gonna get from the doc & that was ok. for the next 2o years i have been on narcotics, that is a rough road for anyone to go down. but when the whole world changed there was no way i was going into my pain doc. this pandemic has scared the hell out of me so i have been narcotic free for the last year. wow! talk about feeling like rip van winkle. but years ago i was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic. now of course i started to feel the neuropathy setting in my left foot & hand. i started taking r-alpha lipoic acid & the neuropathy in my left foot & hand has disappeared. i stii have some very bad flare ups that keep me up all night, not near as many but i still get them & it can get pretty bad pain wise. so Doc my question to you is: is there something homeopathic available that might help me get thru the flare ups? because i am not getting any younger & i really enjoy being off of the narcotics!
most respectfully yours
ricky
