Homeopathy Treatment for Appetite Increase


One speaks of increased appetite when the desire for food exceeds the normal, otherwise usual level. Appetite is not the same as hunger. Rather, appetite expresses the desire, the need for food or specific nutrients. It is also strongly subject to human sensory perceptions. External stimuli, such as a large, visually appealing range of dishes, can trigger an appetite. Homeopathic remedies are used to suppress appetite.
