BEYOND THE GUT FEELING: HOMOEOPATHY & GUT-BRAIN MICROBIOME CONNECTION IN NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES

Abstract

The Gut brain axis is not only connected physically but also chemically. This article is an attempt to shed light on the gut-brain axis which intricately links the central nervous system (CNS), the autonomous nervous system (ANS), and the enteric nervous system (ENS), regulating physiological balance through neural, humoral, and hormonal pathways. The gut-brain axis can be disrupted by dysbiosis., an imbalance in the gut microbiome, which disrupts the gut-brain axis's delicate equilibrium, fostering systemic inflammation and contributing to neurodegenerative diseases. Diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and ALS , exemplify the gut microbiota's impact on cognitive, motor, and behavioral functions. Furthermore, exploring Management strategies encompass dietary modifications, lifestyle changes, traditional therapies, and Homoeopathic interventions. This article provides insight into the relationship between the gut-brain axis, dysbiosis, and neurodegenerative disease as well as the potential role of Homoeopathy in mitigating these conditions effect with the other management strategies.
