Loss of appetite (anorexia) refers to a reduced desire to eat, leading to decreased food intake and potential nutritional deficiencies. It may arise from gastrointestinal disturbances, chronic infections, liver disease, metabolic disorders, psychological stress, medications, hormonal changes, or systemic illnesses. Patients often present with early satiety, weight loss, fatigue, nausea, or aversion to food. Diagnosis depends on identifying underlying causes through clinical assessment, laboratory tests, and evaluation of associated symptoms.

Homoeopathy treats loss of appetite by addressing the individual’s constitutional makeup, emotional triggers, digestive disturbances, and systemic factors reducing hunger. Remedies are selected based on specific aversions, cravings, modalities, and accompanying symptoms such as nausea, weakness, bloating, or stress. By stimulating digestive vitality and restoring appetite regulation, homoeopathy can help improve nourishment, energy levels, and overall well-being.
