Angiomyolipoma is a benign tumour in your kidney. When we say a benign tumour, it means that it is a tumour but is non cancerous. An angiomyolipoma usually consists of muscle, fat and blood vessels. The following 5 Homeopathic medicines for angiomyolipomas are very effective –

1. Apis Mel
2. Berberis Vulgaris
3. Conium
4. Carbo-animalis
5. Thuja

Before we come to the indications suggesting the use of these homeopathic medicines for the treatment of angiomyolipomas, let us understand the problem a little better.

What is Angiomyolipoma?

An angiomyolipoma is an abnormal collection of blood vessels, muscle and fat tissue. They are one of the most common masses found in the kidneys.  They may even be present in other organs like liver, ovary or the intestines. Here we restrict ourselves to the ones present in the kidneys.

As I have mentioned in the beginning, an angiomyolipoma is a benign tumour present in the kidney. Tumours are of two types- benign and cancerous. The benign tumours are not life threatening and can stay like that for a long time while the cancerous ones grow and spread quickly, threatening the life of the person. An angiomyolipoma is a benign type of tumour and is not life threatening.

Causes of Angiomyolipoma

The exact cause of angiomyolipoma is not known to medical science. There are some genetic factors that seem to cause this but are not very clear. Angiomyolipomas are often present in association with some other genetic diseases like Tuberous Sclerosis, Sturge-Weber syndrome or neurofibromatosis.

Symptoms of Angiomyolipomas

Most of the patients do not have any symptom at all. They come to know of the presence of angiomyolipoma during a routine check up or a sonography. Only the large ones cause symptoms and are detected due to their manifestations. In some cases, patients do have a few symptoms like-

• Anaemia may be present in some cases where bleeding occurs
• Fever is also present in some cases where infection is present
• Pain in the kidney region may occur
• High blood pressure is a common concomitant symptom
• Nausea and vomiting is present in some cases

Homeopathic Treatment of Angiomyolipoma

Homeopathic medicines can help successfully treat all sorts of angiomyolipomas, whether small or big. There is no need to go in for surgery for these tumours. While surgery itself is a cumbersome procedure, there is another disadvantage and that is the probability of recurrence. Therefore, the best bet is to take homeopathy for treating angiomyolipomas.
