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.

gradually, Worsen with movement, Usually occur in the hands first, affecting
one hand or both hands, Can include a "yes-yes" or "no-no"
