Osteoporosis is a condition where your bones become weak and are thus more likely to break. Your bones lose calcium and the insides become porous, like a honey comb. Technically speaking this is called losing bone mass. People with low bone mass are more susceptible to breaking bones. Osteoporosis is the most common cause of fractures. Due primarily to the ageing of the population, the prevalence of osteoporosis and low bone mass is expected to increase.

Causes:

• Age

• Being a female

• Family history

• Sedentary lifestyle

• Low body weight

• Low calcium and low vitamin D levels

• Low levels of sex hormones

• Overactive thyroid gland (means hyperthyroidism) and overactive parathyroid gland

• Certain medicines

• Use of alcohol or tobacco

• Certain medical health conditions

Symptoms:

• Pain in back or neck

• Loss of height

• Posture changes (stooping)

• Easy fracture of bones

Benefits of Homeopathy:

Homeopathic treatments are very effective for treating osteoporosis. Homeopathic treatments for osteoporosis are very helpful in absorbing calcium from the bones and also in treating fractured bones. Homeopathic medicines also offer help in managing bone pain. Homeopathic treatments enhance bone strength, reduce pain related to brittle bones and contribute to bone repair in case of a fracture.
