1. Kidney Stones (Nephrolithiasis)

What are Kidney Stones?

A kidney stone is a hard, crystalline deposit that forms inside the kidneys from minerals and salts found in urine. These stones can vary in size from a grain of sand to a golf ball. While small stones may pass out of the body unnoticed, larger stones can get stuck in the urinary tract, causing excruciating pain in the side and back (renal colic), blood in the urine, and nausea.

What Causes Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones form when your urine contains more crystal-forming substances—such as calcium, oxalate, and uric acid—than the fluid in your urine can dilute. The primary causes and risk factors include:

Dehydration: Not drinking enough water is the most common cause.
Diet: Diets high in protein, sodium (salt), and sugar can increase the risk of certain types of stones.
Medical Conditions: Obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, and certain genetic factors can increase the tendency to form stones.
Family History: If someone in your family has had kidney stones, you are more likely to develop them too.

Natural Care and Management by Sharanya Center for Classical Homeopathy

At Sharanya Center, we believe in treating the person, not just the stone. Our approach focuses on addressing the root tendency to form stones, rather than just managing the acute symptoms.

Holistic Diagnosis: We conduct a detailed consultation to understand your unique constitutional makeup, dietary habits, and lifestyle, which are contributing to stone formation.
Individualised Treatment: Based on this assessment, a specific homeopathic remedy is prescribed to correct the underlying metabolic imbalance. This not only helps in the natural passage of existing small stones and managing pain but, more importantly, aims to prevent them from recurring.
Long-Term Prevention: Our goal is to strengthen your system from within, reducing your body’s predisposition to creating stones. We complement our remedies with expert guidance on diet and lifestyle, empowering you to maintain long-term kidney health safely and gently.

2. Gallstones (Cholelithiasis)

What are Gallstones?

Gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid, called bile, that form in the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small organ located just beneath the liver. These stones can range in size and number. Many people have “silent” gallstones that cause no symptoms. However, if a stone blocks a bile duct, it can trigger sudden, intense pain in the upper-right abdomen (biliary colic), nausea, and vomiting.

What Causes Gallstones?

Gallstones are believed to form due to an imbalance in the chemical composition of bile inside the gallbladder. Key causes include:

Excess Cholesterol in Bile: If your liver excretes more cholesterol than your bile can dissolve, it can form into crystals and eventually stones.
Excess Bilirubin in Bile: Conditions like liver cirrhosis and certain blood disorders can cause excess bilirubin, which can form pigment gallstones.
Improper Gallbladder Emptying: If the gallbladder doesn’t empty completely or often enough, bile may become very concentrated, contributing to stone formation.

Natural Care and Management by Sharanya Center for Classical Homeopathy

Conventional treatment often leads to the surgical removal of the gallbladder. At Sharanya Center, we offer a non-invasive, holistic alternative.

Restoring Biliary Health: Classical homeopathy addresses the functional derangement of the liver and gallbladder system. Our remedies are aimed at improving liver function, correcting the composition of bile, and promoting the healthy functioning of the gallbladder.
Symptom Relief and Dissolution: Our individualized treatment can help manage the painful episodes of biliary colic and, in many cases, may aid in the dissolution of smaller cholesterol-based gallstones over time.
Preventing Surgery and Recurrence: By treating the underlying cause, our goal is to eliminate the tendency to form new stones, helping you avoid surgery and live free from the recurring fear of gallstone attacks.

3. Hemorrhoids (Piles)

What are Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids, commonly known as piles, are swollen and inflamed veins in your rectum and anus. They can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus). Symptoms often include painless bleeding during bowel movements, itching or irritation in the anal region, pain or discomfort, and a swelling or lump near your anus.

What Causes Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids develop due to increased pressure in the lower rectum. This pressure can result from:

Straining during bowel movements due to chronic constipation.
Sitting for long periods, especially on the toilet.
Chronic diarrhea or constipation.
Pregnancy, due to the pressure of the growing uterus.
Obesity and lifting heavy objects regularly.

Natural Care and Management by Sharanya Center for Classical Homeopathy

Hemorrhoids can be a persistent and painful condition. The homeopathic approach at Sharanya Center offers gentle and effective relief by targeting the root cause.

Targeted Symptom Relief: We select remedies based on your specific symptoms—whether the hemorrhoids are bleeding or non-bleeding, painful or itchy. This provides quick relief from acute discomfort.
Addressing the Root Cause: Our primary focus is on treating the underlying issues, such as chronic constipation and poor venous circulation in the rectal area. The right constitutional remedy helps regulate bowel movements and strengthens the walls of the veins.
Lasting Results: By correcting the internal imbalance that leads to hemorrhoids, classical homeopathy not only treats the current flare-up but also significantly reduces the chances of recurrence, offering a lasting solution without invasive procedures.

4. Anal Fistula (Fistula-in-ano)

What is an Anal Fistula?

An anal fistula is a small, infected tunnel that forms between the end of the bowel (anal canal) and the skin near the anus. It usually develops after an anal abscess (a collection of pus) drains but doesn’t heal completely. The result is a persistent opening on the skin that can discharge pus or fluid, causing pain, swelling, and skin irritation.

What Causes an Anal Fistula?

The most common cause of an anal fistula is a clogged and infected anal gland that develops into an abscess. When this abscess fails to heal properly after draining, a fistula tract may form. Other conditions that can cause fistulas include Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, and complications from previous surgery.

Natural Care and Management by Sharanya Center for Classical Homeopathy

Anal fistula is a challenging condition often requiring surgery, which itself carries a risk of recurrence. Classical homeopathy offers a promising non-surgical path to healing.

Healing from Within: Homeopathic treatment aims to heal the fistula tract from the inside out. We use specific remedies that have a deep action on glandular tissues and suppurative (pus-forming) conditions.
Controlling Infection and Promoting Growth: The selected constitutional remedy works to control the chronic infection, reduce inflammation, and stimulate healthy tissue granulation to naturally close the fistula tract.
Preventing Recurrence: Unlike temporary solutions, homeopathy addresses the body’s underlying tendency to form abscesses and fistulas. By strengthening your body’s inherent healing capacity, we aim for a complete and permanent cure, helping you avoid repeated surgeries.

5. Urethral Stricture

What is a Urethral Stricture?

A urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. This narrowing is caused by the formation of scar tissue (fibrosis). It obstructs the flow of urine, leading to symptoms like a weak or spraying urine stream, difficulty starting urination, a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, and an increased risk of urinary tract infections.

What Causes a Urethral Stricture?

The scar tissue that causes a stricture can form due to:

Injury or Trauma: A direct injury to the urethra or pelvis.
Infection: Sexually transmitted infections (e.g., gonorrhea) or other inflammations (urethritis).
Medical Procedures: Use of a urinary catheter for a long time or complications from prostate surgery.
Congenital factors (being born with it).

Natural Care and Management by Sharanya Center for Classical Homeopathy

Conventional management often involves repeated, painful procedures like dilation or surgery. Homeopathy offers a different approach, aiming to treat the underlying cause without invasive methods.

Addressing Fibrosis: At Sharanya Center, our treatment focuses on the core problem: the tendency to form restrictive scar tissue. Specific homeopathic remedies are known for their ability to act on fibrous tissue, helping to soften and resolve the stricture over time.
Improving Urinary Flow: By addressing the scar tissue, our treatment aims to gradually widen the urethral passage, leading to an improved urine stream and relief from associated symptoms.
Gentle and Sustainable: The goal of our constitutional treatment is to halt the progression of the stricture and provide a sustainable, long-term solution, reducing or eliminating the need for recurring invasive procedures.

6. Diabetic Ulcers

What is a Diabetic Ulcer?

A diabetic ulcer is an open sore or wound, typically located on the bottom of the foot, that affects people with diabetes. These ulcers are a serious complication because they can become infected easily and heal very slowly. If not managed properly, they can lead to severe infections of the bone and may even necessitate amputation.

What Causes Diabetic Ulcers?

Diabetic ulcers are caused by a combination of factors all stemming from diabetes:

Nerve Damage (Neuropathy): High blood sugar damages nerves, leading to a loss of feeling in the feet. A person may not notice a cut, blister, or sore.
Poor Circulation (Peripheral Artery Disease): Diabetes can narrow the arteries, reducing blood flow to the feet. This makes it difficult for wounds to heal.
High Blood Sugar: Elevated glucose levels impair the body’s immune response and its ability to fight infection and repair tissue.

Natural Care and Management by Sharanya Center for Classical Homeopathy

Managing a diabetic ulcer requires a multi-faceted approach. Homeopathy at Sharanya Center works in synergy with your conventional diabetes care to promote healing and address underlying issues.

Two-Pronged Healing Approach: Our treatment works on two levels. Firstly, a constitutional remedy is prescribed to help improve your body’s overall metabolic function and gain better control over blood sugar levels. Secondly, specific remedies are used to directly target the ulcer, promoting healthy granulation tissue and controlling infection based on the wound’s specific characteristics.
Improving Circulation and Immunity: The homeopathic remedies aim to improve microcirculation to the affected area and enhance the body’s natural healing capacity, which is often compromised in diabetes.
Holistic Support: We provide comprehensive guidance on essential foot care, diet, and lifestyle management. Our goal is to accelerate the healing of the ulcer, prevent dangerous complications, and improve your overall diabetic health, offering a supportive and effective path to recovery.
