Pernicious anemia is the most common disease now a days. It is a type of vitamin B12 anemia. Vitamin B12 is normally involved in the metabolism of each and every cell of the body. It is one of the water-soluble vitamins which means it circulates through the bloodstream. It has a major role in formation of blood cells, functioning of nervous system and brain too.
Common causes include a weakened stomach lining or an auto-immune condition. Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, nausea and vomiting, heartburn, abdominal bloating, gas, constipation or diarrhea, loss of appetite, and weight loss. An enlarged liver is another symptom. Untreated pernicious anaemia can cause heart and nerve damage.
Treatment involves proper diet, supplements as required and support of homoeopathic medicines as per the case.
Use of Vitamin B12 is a part of homeopathic treatment and Homoeopathy can help in proper B12 absorption.
Homeopathic medicines used in the treatment can act as efficient immune-modulators. Auto-antibody production against the intrinsic factor and subsequent destruction of the parietal cells can be prevented by homeopathic medications. Homeopathic medicines target at the factors leading to pernicious anemia and is highly recommended for the same.
