Intermittent Fasting & Homoeopathy

Abstract

The article focuses on the age old concept of Ayurveda where it is advised to start eating with the rising sun & to stop eating with the setting sun. Thus, a fasting of 8 hours per 24 hours is advised. With the modern day life style, night eating & drinking came back & thus the comeback of Non Communicable Diseases (NCD). As the NCDs surged, the concept of Intermittent Fasting (IF) emerged since the process of IF led to weight loss & positive changes in the body. The current article sees the role of Homoeopathy of the AYUSH system in the process of IF. Those adopting the process of IF may use the therapeutic system of homeopathy to optimize the benefits of IF. After discussing the various modalities of IF, a homoeopathic treatment protocol is suggested on the lines of the markers mentioned above. The article aspires that this integration will help the nation to deal with the current menace of NCDs.
