Chikungunya, the viral disease caused by the mosquito Aedes Aegypti, has been affecting people throughout the country and has proved to be life-threatening.
Currently, over 9.7 lakh suspected cases have been reported from 121 districts in seven States like Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamilnadu, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Kerala.
More often than not the disease cannot be diagnosed. The only way to detect it is through blood tests. While recovery is an expected outcome, the symptoms can be felt from one day to over a year.
Some of the symptoms are high fever, chills, headache, nausea, vomitting, joint pain and rashes. The infected person needs to be isolated from mosquitoes so that the disease does not get transmitted to other people.
Curing the disease has been quite challenging for the medical fraternity. In fact, according to the Andhra Pradesh government (Minister for Health and Finance Mr. K. Rosaiah), there is no prescribed cure for chikungaya. However, Homeopathy can cure its many symptoms without having any side- effect. Some Homeopathic drugs that can be of help to cure the symptoms of this viral disease are Eupatorium Perfoliatum, Gelsemium and Belladonna.
Eupatorium Perfoliatum is given to a patient with high fever and pain in the bones. A patient suffers from shivering chills followed by muscular pain, violent headaches, dizziness and faintness. At such a time, Gelsemium would be helpful to relieve symptoms.
Belladona is another homeopathic medicine that is helpful. It should be taken in the initial stages of fever when the patient is going through a high feverish state. At such time, the patient experiences high fever with icy cold feet.
All these medicines are available to cure the patient but the best measure to deal with this epidemic is prevention. The chikungunya virus vaccine is known to prevent the disease but is no longer being produced and has very limited availability. Therefore, self-help prevention tips need to be practised. Some of them are as follows:.
Avoiding mosquito bites while traveling to areas where this disease is known to occur by wearing long- sleeved shirts and long pants, Eliminating mosquito- breeding sites and maintaining cleanliness.

herbal medicine is not homeopathy. Homeopathy is when you take a medicine, and dilute it down until it's pure water, then dilute it down some more with pure water, and supposedly the water "remembers" what the medicine looked like. Yeah. It works as well as it sounds. There are some other options, but it sounds like you might be heading towards carpal tunnel. You need to go to the doctor, and get on some anti-inflammatories. And yes, you might need to take a week off the computer, but that's better than 4 weeks due to surgery.... It might be a good idea to hire someone to help you by typing for you that week. You wouldn't make anywhere near as much as you'd have to pay them, too, but it's better than nothing! See the doctor quickly, ask about getting a steroid or a cortisone shot or something to take the pain and swelling down as quickly as you can. Then, spend a few days hunting for an ergonomic keyboard, one with keys that are easy to press and slanted. Mess with your chair height and such to find the correct angle that keeps your wrist/arm/hand in a perfectly straight line, which causes less tension. Good luck. Hope the few days of rest and some major anti-inflammatories work. Both are going to be a better choice than herbal remedies. Keep your hands above your head when you can, and ice them down too. Both will help reduce swelling and inflammation.

Homoeopathy does not have an absolute cure for Chikungunya. However, the following will help to hasten cure and reduce painful symptoms:
Rhustox & Yarpotorium (not sure about the spelling).
Note: Taking the above would not cause any side effects. In any case, consult your Homoeopath before taking them.
