Homeopathy for Autism: Symptom-Based Treatment Medicines Collection

Role of homeopathic medicines in treating autism

Role and Limitations:

Homeopathic medicines are not claimed to cure autism but can help children within certain segments of the autism spectrum disorder, especially those in the mild to moderate category.

Determining Factors for Response:

• Age: Younger children, particularly between 18 months and three years, respond better to homeopathic treatment.
  
• Speech: Children with some speech abilities, like using single words, show better improvement.
• Hyperactivity: Children with less or no hyperactivity respond better. Severely hyperactive children do not respond as well.

Extent of Improvement:

• Younger children can show significant improvements.
• Outcomes vary; some children may show little to no improvement.
• Improvement depends on a combination of the child's age, speech ability, and hyperactivity level. 

Side Effects:

• Homeopathic medicines are generally safe, made from natural substances like plants and minerals in diluted forms.
• Rarely, a mild and transient increase in hyperactivity may occur, which is often seen as a positive sign of the medicine working. 

Treating Autism Without a Known Cause:

• Homeopathy treats based on symptoms, not disease labels.
• It focuses on the external manifestation of internal disturbances.

Types of Homeopathic Medicines Used:

• Medicines that stimulate mental development.
• Medicines that control hyperactivity.
