Obesity is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat, typically defined by a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or above. It results from a sustained imbalance between caloric intake and energy expenditure, but its development is multifactorial, involving genetics, hormonal dysregulation, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy dietary patterns, emotional eating, sleep deprivation, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, certain medications, and psychosocial factors. Obesity increases the risk of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, fatty liver, cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, PCOS, sleep apnea, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Clinically, the condition presents with increased body weight, fatigue, breathlessness, joint pains, excessive sweating, metabolic abnormalities, and difficulty performing daily activities.

In homoeopathy, obesity is approached through constitutional prescribing, targeting underlying causes such as slow metabolism, glandular dysfunction, emotional disturbances, cravings, or water retention. Remedies are selected based on totality of symptoms including appetite patterns, cravings, thermal modalities, mood, hormonal tendencies, and genetic disposition. Miasmatic influences like psora (slow metabolism), sycosis (fat accumulation), and syphilis (metabolic destruction) guide remedy selection. Homoeopathic management supports fat regulation, improves metabolic efficiency, regulates appetite, balances hormones, enhances vitality, and prevents complications, making it a holistic tool in long-term weight management.
