Emaciation refers to significant loss of body weight, muscle mass, and fat stores, leading to a visibly thin and wasted appearance. It occurs when the body’s caloric expenditure exceeds intake or absorption due to chronic illness, malnutrition, malabsorption, hormonal imbalance, infections, metabolic disorders, chronic diarrhea, or psychological conditions like anorexia. In children, it may indicate tuberculosis, worms, congenital issues, or poor feeding. Adults may experience emaciation due to hyperthyroidism, chronic infections, malignancy, gastrointestinal diseases, or prolonged stress. Clinically, it presents with fatigue, sunken eyes, dry skin, muscle wasting, poor immunity, and weakness.

Homoeopathy views emaciation as a systemic imbalance affecting metabolism, digestion, and nutrient assimilation. Treatment focuses on improving appetite, correcting malabsorption, enhancing digestion, supporting glandular functions, and building constitutional strength. Medicines are chosen based on causation—whether from chronic diarrhea, worm infestation, glandular disorders, stress, or hereditary weakness. Deep-acting remedies help rebuild tissue, improve vitality, and promote healthy weight gain. In children, growth enhancers and constitutional remedies are highly effective.
