How is Parkinson Disease different from Essential Tremor?

Essential tremor (ET) is the most common movement disorder. ET’s often called Benign Essential Tremor, because it usually doesn’t result in marked or striking disability. Few ET patients become disabled; most are able to cope.

ET’s sometimes called Familial Tremor, or Hereditary Tremor, or Heredito-Familial Tremor because in approximately 50% of patients there’s a family history. ET’s sometimes called Senile or Senescent Tremor because it usually occurs in senior citizens. Senile or Senescent refers to the age at ET occurs, not to the patient’s mental capacity. Because of the misleading association of the terms senile or senescent tremor with senility or mental decline the term Senile or Senescent Tremor isn’t used.


Cause:

In many patients ET’s inherited. But how an inherited defect results in trembling is unknown. Examination, after death, of the brains of ET patients is normal. It’s been proposed that abnormalities in specific brain structures: the olives, the cerebellum, the thalamus result in these structures acting as oscillators, setting-up self-propagating currents, resulting in trembling.

What is Homoeopathy?
Homoeopathy is a system of medicine which has a different approach to disease and remedy from that of conventional or Allopathic medicine. In the Allopathic approach, medicines are used that work against diseases and their symptoms. In Homoeopathy, the symptoms of an illness are viewed as a direct manifestation of the body's attempt to heal itself and a Homoeopathic substance is given that is capable of producing similar symptoms if given to a well person. In so doing, Homoeopathic attempts to stimulate the body's own natural healing capacity with Homoeopathic remedies acting as a trigger for the body's own healing forces.

The disease is intimately associated with the life of the individual and is a result of internally concealed causes and also external causes (environment, viral and bacteriological diseases, traumatisms ).
