Homeopathy Medicine for Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B

• An infection with a virus called hepatitis B can result in both acute and chronic liver disease.
• The virus cannot be spread through casual contact; it must come into contact with blood or other bodily fluids of an infected person.
• A rough estimate of 600 000 people per year pass away from the acute or chronic effects of hepatitis B. There are approximately 2 billion infected individuals worldwide, 350 million of whom have a chronic infection.
• The liver cancer or cirrhosis (liver scarring) brought on by the chronic infection kills about 25% of adults who were chronically infected as children.
• HIV is only about ten times as contagious as the hepatitis B virus.
• A significant occupational risk for those in the medical field is the hepatitis B virus.
• A secure and reliable vaccine is available to prevent hepatitis B.

The most serious form of viral hepatitis, hepatitis B is a potentially fatal liver infection brought on by the hepatitis B virus. It is a major global health issue and increases the risk of developing liver cancer and cirrhosis of the liver as well as chronic liver disease.

Over 350 million people worldwide have chronic (long-term) liver infections caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV), which has infected an estimated two billion people.

Since 1982, there has been a hepatitis B vaccine on the market, which is the first vaccine against a significant human cancer and 95% effective at preventing HBV infection and its long-term effects.

Causes of Hepatitis-B

The hepatitis B virus (HBV), which is what causes hepatitis B infection, spreads from one person to another through blood, semen, or other bodily fluids—it is not spread through coughing or sneezing.

HBV is frequently transmitted through:

• Sexual contact.The virus can be transferred to you during unprotected sex if the other person’s blood, saliva, semen, or vaginal secretions come into contact with your body.
• Sharing of needles.Sharing IV drug supplies puts you at a high risk of contracting hepatitis B because infected needles and syringes are a common source of HBV.
• Accidental needle sticks.Anyone who comes into contact with human blood, including medical professionals, should be concerned about hepatitis B.
• Mother to child.If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, talk to your doctor about getting tested for hepatitis B. Pregnant women who have the virus can transmit it to their unborn children during childbirth, but the infant can almost always be immunized to prevent becoming infected.

Symptoms of Hepatitis-B

The symptoms of an acute hepatitis B infection can last for several weeks and include jaundice, which is a yellowing of the skin and eyes, as well as dark urine, extreme exhaustion, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.

HBV can also result in a chronic liver infection that may later progress to liver cirrhosis or cancer, and it can take people several months to a year to recover from the symptoms.

Transmission

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) share similar modes of transmission, but HBV is 50–100 times more contagious because it can survive outside the body for at least 7 days, during which time it can still infect people if it comes into contact with their blood or other bodily fluids (such as semen and vaginal fluid).

In developing nations, the following transmission methods are typical:

• From the mother to the newborn during pregnancy
• Early childhood infections (infections that appear to have occurred as a result of close contact with infected household members)
• unsafe injections practices
• blood transfusions
• sexual contact

The average incubation period for HBV is 90 days, but this can vary from 30 to 180 days. HBV can be detected 30 to 60 days after infection, and it can persist for a wide range of times. It cannot be spread through contaminated food or water, and it cannot be spread casually in the workplace.

Prevention of Hepatitis-B

Hepatitis B vaccination is essential for preventing the disease and should be given to all newborns.

In regions where mother-to-infant transmission of HBV is common, the first dose of the vaccine should be administered as soon as possible after birth (i.e., within 24 hours). The vaccine can be administered as either three or four separate doses, as part of the current routine immunization schedules.

People in high risk groups, such as those who have not previously received the vaccine, as well as all children and adolescents under the age of 18 who have not yet received it, should also receive it.

• Those who engage in sexual behavior at high risk
• spouses and close family members of HBV-positive people
• injecting drug users
• blood or blood products frequently needed individuals
• transplant patients who received solid organs
• those at risk for HBV infection due to their jobs, such as healthcare professionals and
• tourists from abroad who visit HBV-endemic nations

Homoeopathic Treatment of Hepatitis-B

Hepatitis B cases can be effectively controlled with homeopathic medications because they function at the immunological level. Hepatitis B complications include

• Chronic hepatitis
• Cirrhosis
• Liver failure
• Hepatic cellular carcinoma

The general health is greatly improved on these homeopathic medicines without any side effects, and taking them for a longer period of time helps improve immunological levels and the disease can be kept under control. Homeopathic treatment can help in delaying the complications and the disease process is kept under check with symptomatic relief.

In cases of hepatitis, homeopathy is strongly advised because it has demonstrated effectiveness in treating a variety of viral infections.
