HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR ESSENTIAL TREMOR

Essential tremor is a nervous system disorder (neurological disorder) that causes a rhythmic shaking. Essential tremor can affect almost any part of your body, but the trembling occurs most often in your hands — especially when you try to do simple tasks, such as drinking from a glass, tying shoelaces, writing or shaving. Essential tremor may also affect your head, voice, arms or legs.
Although usually not a dangerous condition, essential tremor worsens over time and can be severe in some people. It isn't caused by other diseases, although it's sometimes confused with Parkinson's disease. Essential tremor can occur at any age but is most common in people age 40 and older.
Causes- About half of essential tremor cases appear to result from a genetic mutation. This form is referred to as familial tremor. It isn't clear what causes essential tremor in people without a known genetic mutation.
Research has found that changes in specific areas of the brain may contribute to essential tremor.
Symptoms--Essential tremor signs and symptoms:--Begin gradually, Worsen with movement, Usually occur in the hands first, affecting one hand or both hands, Can include a "yes-yes" or "no-no" motion of the head, May be aggravated by emotional stress, fatigue, caffeine or extremes of temperature
