Forty-eight-year-old Neeraj Sharma had almost given up her battle against osteoporosis, a deadly disease that she has been battling for the last five years.

The excruciating joint pains initially left her with no option but to go in for allopathic drugs and painkillers, and this resulted in her suffering from major side effects such as frequent stomach upsets.

Now, she claims that homeopathic treatment has given her some relief.

�I constantly ate pain killers all through my high fever. But later, I was lucky as one of my friends advised me to go for homeopathy. I began it partially and felt better,� says Neeraj.

Patients these days are driving the fortunes of the homeopathic industry, and it is being predicted that by 2017, the growth of homeopathy will be pegged between 20-25 percent.

A recent AC Nielsen survey has revealed that 62 per cent of homeopathy users have never tried allopathy, and 82 per cent of homeopathy users would not switch to conventional treatments.

�Today there�s a huge awareness among people regarding the side effects of chemical medicines so that�s why more and more people are turning towards alternatives and homeopathy is one of them,� said Dr. Mukesh Batra, Chairman, Dr. Batra�s Positive Health Clinics.
