HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR ESSENTIAL TREMOR
Essential tremor is a nervous system (neurological) disorder
that causes involuntary and rhythmic shaking. It can affect almost any part of
your body, but the trembling occurs most often in your hands — especially when
you do simple tasks, such as drinking from a glass or tying shoelaces.
It's usually not a dangerous condition, but essential tremor
typically worsens over time and can be severe in some people. Other conditions
don't cause essential tremor, 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, although a specific gene hasn't been identified. This form is
referred to as familial tremor. It isn't clear what causes essential tremor in
people without a known genetic mutation.
Symptoms-Essential tremor signs and symptoms:
·
Begin gradually, usually on one side of the body
·
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
temperature extremes
Risk factors--Known risk factors for essential tremor include:
Genetic mutation. The inherited variety of
essential tremor (familial tremor) is an autosomal dominant disorder. A
defective gene from just one parent is needed to pass on the condition.
If you have a parent with a genetic mutation for essential
tremor, you have a 50 percent chance of developing the disorder yourself.
Age. Essential
tremor is more common in people age 40 and older.
Complications-Essential tremor isn't life-threatening, but
symptoms often worsen over time. If the tremors become severe, you might find
it difficult to:
·
Hold a cup or glass without spilling
·
Eat normally
·
Put on makeup or shave
·
Talk, if your voice box or tongue is affected
·
Write legibly
