What offers Homeopathy

“Treat every person as an indivisible whole, taking into account the emotional and physical, and from the balance helps to distance the self-destructive person in his glass,” said the specialist. To this he adds, “we rely on formulations that cover all the symptoms and the damage, local effects left by the drink.”

It is essential that treatment is prescribed by the homeopathic physician, who will design individualized therapy for each patient. Among the most used drugs, says Dr. Hernández Chávez, are:

“So far there is no known common cause of this addiction, although several factors may play an important role in its development. In addition, evidence shows that a parent who is addicted to alcohol has a greater chance of getting this disease, “relates Dr. Azucena Hernández Chávez, a specialist degree from the National School of Medicine and Homeopathy (ENMH) National Polytechnic Institute ( IPN).

This may be due, rather than social, family or advertising campaigns, the presence of certain genes that might increase the risk of alcoholism. Some other factors associated with this condition are the need to relieve anxiety, conflicts in relationships, depression or low self-esteem which is reinforced by the easy availability of alcohol and social acceptance of consumption.

Impact

Deaths from alcohol-related accidents (collisions, traffic accidents and suicides) are ranked among the causes of death in many countries. Experts believe that there are two types of alcohol dependence:

Psychological. Related to emotional problems and bad relationships that the addict has suffered throughout his life.
Physics. It reveals, among other things, because when the person stops drinking alcohol introduces the “withdrawal syndrome”, characterized by tremors in the fingers, tongue and extremities, sweating, tachycardia (rapid pulse), anxiety, irritability, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, insomnia and even visual or auditory hallucinations (delirium).

It is also noted that “in physical dependence on alcohol are two different ways of drinking: a continuous, in which the patient often needs to consume alcoholic beverages or daily, and other episodic, called dipsomania, in alternating relatively protracted withdrawal stages (the patient may last a week or more without drinking) with severe relapses, “says the specialist.

Alcoholism is a serious health hazard that often carries the risk of premature death due to liver disease (including cirrhosis), internal bleeding, poisoning, liver cancer, accidents or suicide.

“It is important to note that addiction is not determined by the amount ingested in a given period, those affected by this disease may follow very different patterns of behavior, both alcoholics who eat there daily, as those who drink weekly or monthly or However, without a fixed schedule, but the degenerative process tends to shorten the time between each intake,” notes Dr. Hernández Chávez.

Prolonged excessive consumption of this substance is forcing the agency to require increasing amounts to feel the same effects, it is the “increased tolerance”, which triggers an adaptive mechanism of the body until it reaches a limit at which reverses the alleged resistance and then take in fewer, why tolerate more alcohol in itself is a risk.

Dipsomania is a form of alcoholism, characterized by alternating periods of prolonged abstinence, with periods of excessive alcohol consumption that occurs uncontrollably. Is related to situations of violence and accidents, which represents a risk to the sufferer.

Alcoholism is one of the greatest social problems of global impact, and this dependence has an incidence of almost 50% in traffic accidents, also 50% in homicides, and 15 to 20% in accidents at work . It also has resulted in the emergence of a host of health disorders such as liver damage, heart, brain, digestive system, malnutrition, mental disorders, including depression, anxiety, aggressiveness.
