What is Chronic Disease?
Chronic diseases normally develop slowly, continue for a long period of time and are usually accompanied by a general deterioration of overall health e.g. diabetes, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis and asthma. They will not generally recover by themselves as with acute coughs and colds. Chronic cases treated with homoeopathic remedies may generally start feeling better within the first few days or week, but this depends on the specific complaint. The general feeling of well being in the body is gently restored, despite the specific chronic complaint remaining e.g. asthma or rheumatoid arthritis. The general state of the bodily functions, such as the sleep, appetite, tolerance to stress and emotional disturbances should begin to greatly improve. Over the following months the complaint of the patient should gradually improve as their health improves.
