Covid 19 is a multi systemic disease. It affects more than one system of the human body. In some patients, it affects the lungs while in others it affects the digestive system. Still some other patients see their heart or nervous system getting affected. Even after recovering from the acute symptoms, a number of problems keep on persisting. Homeopathic medicines for Post Covid are very effective. But before we start with the best homeopathic medicines for Post Covid, let us first understand the term.
What is Post Covid or Long Covid
Most of the Covid patients recover quickly with hardly any remnant symptoms. But in some patients, post Covid symptoms and complications tend to linger on for a long time. These symptoms may be new ones or flare ups of already existing conditions or return of long cured diseases. These are now being termed as long Covid or post Covid. These symptoms may occur four or more weeks after getting infected with Covid. In some cases, the symptoms surface even months after being cured of the acute symptoms of the corona virus.
Aged patients and those who have other underlying conditions are more prone to such long Covid or Post Covid 19 symptoms. Diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, asthma, heart disease and cancer are some of the conditions that make one more susceptible to Post Covid 19 symptoms. In some cases, even young and healthy individuals have been seen to have long Covid.
Signs and Symptoms of Post Covid
Main signs and symptoms that keep on persisting for long after main symptoms of Covid 19 subside are as follows-
Fatigue– People complain of fatigue or lack of energy till months after they have otherwise recovered from Corona.
Cough – Dry cough keeps on persisting in some patients for a long time.
Breathlesness – Patients complain of breathlessness on the slightest exertion. Even walking can make some patients breathless.
Palpitations – Increased heart rate and palpitations are also observed in some cases.
Anxiety– Feeling anxious for no particular reason is also a common symptom seen in many patients.
Loss of appetite– People don’t get back their normal appetite back for many days.
Change in taste– Often patients are not able to regain their taste for months.
Loss of smell – At times, it takes a while to get back their smell back.
Disturbance in sleep – Sleep cycles often get disturbed and take time to get back to their normal routine.
Treatment of Post Covid
The treatment of long covid or post covid is not just focused on the specific symptoms or systems that are affected in an individual. One needs to raise the immunity levels of the patient so that his or her body’s defence system is able to deal with the issue. The remnants of the symptoms of the disease can be dealt with by the natural immune system provided it is strong enough. Therefore, a dual approach is needed. On the one hand, the immunity needs to be strengthened and on the other hand a little support for the particular system that is bearing the brunt of the corona virus is also needed.
Homeopathy for Post Covid
Homeopathy is much more suitable for post Covid or long Covid because of the very fact that it works by strengthening the immune system of the patient. This is the basic philosophy on which Homeopathy works. It supports the natural immunity of the patient which is then able to deal with any and all issues that may come up. At the same time, there are some medicines which are more suitable for some specific systems of human body. These medicines are to be seen as per their specific and individual symptoms. The symptoms of the medicine must match with that of the patient. Once it is done, one can rest assured that nature will do the rest.
