Obesity is fast becoming a major cause of disease and death, like cigarette smoking. In India, there is an overall increase in the number of obese people but especially it is more common in northern parts of India. Weight gain after pregnancy has become very common these days. 

Apart from physiological reasons, this weight gain may be due to thyroid dysfunction, birth control pills, stress and so on. Stress releases some hormones in the body which lead to weight gain. Sometimes, allopathic drugs such as antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs are given for depression after pregnancy, which can lead to further weight gain. 

There are a lot of treatment options and remedies available in the market for obesity. But almost all of them are associated with serious side effects and toxicity except homoeopathy. And mind you side effects of drugs kill more people in the United States than road accidents. In homoeopathy, there are 189 remedies for obesity. The choice of remedy depends upon the complete case history of the patient.

This is very unique to homoeopathy. A remedy is tailor-made for a particular patient not like other therapies where all are given the same drug may be having different trade names. This is the reason that homeopathy is free from side effects whereas other therapies have toxic effects on a person.
