Homeopathy Treatment for Underweight: Gain Healthy Weight Naturally
Being underweight is not just about looking thin, it often means the body is not getting the nutrition it needs for energy, immunity, and overall health. People who are underweight may struggle with fatigue, frequent infections, or hormonal issues.
While supplements and high-calorie diets may not always solve the problem, homeopathy offers a safe, natural way to stimulate appetite, improve digestion, and support healthy weight gain.
What Does “Underweight” Mean?
