Motor tics are generally experienced by children, and the symptoms can last up to one year. This disorder is characterized by brief and uncontrolled spasm like motions which are also accompanied by screams and other outbursts. If the physical and vocal tics come together for each attack, then the condition is known as Tourette Syndrome.

Motor tics may occur due to problems in the functioning of the neurotransmitters in the child’s brain. These are chemicals that are usually responsible for transmitting signals throughout the brain, and a malfunction can lead to serious issues. Here is a few Homeopathic Medicines to deal with this Tourette Syndrome disorder.

Signs & Symptoms of Motor Tics Disorder

  1. Repeated spasm like muscle movements, such as :
    • Blinking
    • Clenching the fists
    • Curling the toes
    • Flaring the nostrils
    • Grimacing
    • Jerking the arms
    • Kicking

 

Homeopathic Treatment for Tourette Syndrome

Homeopathy will provide a form of ad hoc care that can help in treating the various symptoms that are associated with these tics. The symptoms include Obsessive-compulsive disorder as well as the tendency of exhibitionism. Also, the mechanical repetition of actions with head jerking movements and lip biting as well as wincing are some of the main symptoms that one will experience in such cases.

Homeopathic Medicine for Tourette Syndrome or Motor Tics

While most of these symptoms tend to vanish as one progresses towards adulthood, it has been found that Ignata and Cuprum Metallicum are some of the Homeopathic medicines that can help in treating these motor tics symptoms, as well as painful facial tics. Homeopathic remedy Agaricus Muscarius can also help in treating the symptoms of motor tics.

Prevent Tic Disorder Using Homeopathic Treatment 

The point of Homeopathy medication is also to prevent the occurrence of such motor tics or Tourette Syndrome. Cina 15 CH can be prescribed for this purpose along with Zinc Metallicum. Also, these medicines will help in treating the anxiety that the child may feel when suffering from this condition.

Further, many Homeopath doctors will recommend and administer a Hyoscyamus based treatment to deal with this aspect of the condition. Hysteria and violent movements can also be prevented with the help of Staphysagria.

Treatment of Involuntary Movements Using Homeopathy Remedies

The treatment of involuntary movements felt like a part of this condition can take place with the help of Homeopathic medicines like Sepia, China, Zinc, and Lycopodium used for Tourette Syndrome. A Gelasium-based treatment can also be prescribed in case the tics are accompanied by violent head movements and hysterical fits.

Visit a Doctor: For most Homeopathic treatments, especially for conditions like motor tics, it is important that you visit the doctor for physical examination. Based on your symptoms, the doctor will provide the right dosage or homeopathy medicines and the right treatment.

Also, it's important to monitor the progress so that the disease can be managed. In some cases, if the symptoms cannot be contained by the medication, one may require immediate hospitalization.

The doctor may also check for symptoms related to Parkinson’s disease, as many times tics are a symptom of this disease, especially when they are experienced by adults. In most cases, these patients react well to Homeopathy based treatment methods. If you wish to discuss any specific problem, you can consult a homeopathy doctor easily.
