Vitamin B12 Deficiency and Homeopathy
A Natural Holistic Approach by Dr Akshata’s Homeopathy Pune
Vitamin B12 deficiency is one of the most commonly overlooked health issues today. Many people live with constant tiredness, nerve pain, memory problems or mood changes without realizing that low Vitamin B12 could be the root cause. Most treatments focus only on supplements or injections but do not address why the body is unable to absorb or utilize Vitamin B12 properly.
At Dr Akshata’s Homeopathy, treatment focuses on understanding the root cause and restoring balance naturally.
What is Vitamin B12? and Why is it Important?
Vitamin B12 also known as cobalamin is an essential nutrient required for several vital body functions.
- Formation of healthy red blood cells
- Proper functioning of the nervous system
- DNA synthesis and cell repair
- Brain health, memory and concentration
- Energy production and metabolism
According to the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements, Vitamin B12 is critical for neurological function and deficiency can lead to anemia and nerve damage if untreated.
Common Causes of Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Vitamin B12 deficiency is not caused only by poor diet. Many people consuming adequate food still experience deficiency due to absorption issues.
- Vegetarian or vegan diet
- Poor absorption from stomach or intestines
- Low stomach acid levels
- Digestive disorders such as gastritis, IBS or acidity
- Autoimmune conditions like pernicious anemia
- Long term use of antacids or metformin
- Chronic stress and irregular lifestyle
As explained by the Mayo Clinic, absorption problems are one of the leading causes of Vitamin B12 deficiency especially in adults and elderly individuals.
Symptoms of Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Vitamin B12 deficiency affects multiple systems of the body. Symptoms may develop slowly and often go unnoticed in the early stages.
- Constant fatigue and low energy
- Weakness and dizziness
- Numbness or tingling in hands and feet
- Burning sensation in feet
- Memory loss and brain fog
- Anxiety, irritability or depression
- Digestive problems such as bloating or loss of appetite
- Shortness of breath and pale skin
Harvard Health Publishing highlights that neurological symptoms can appear even before anemia is detected in blood tests.
How Homeopathy Helps in Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Homeopathy does not work like supplements or injections. Instead of directly supplying Vitamin B12, it helps the body improve its ability to absorb nutrients and function efficiently.
- Improving digestion and gut health
- Supporting nerve repair and nervous system balance
- Reducing fatigue, weakness and heaviness

Homeopathy treats the individual as a whole. Two patients with the same Vitamin B12 levels may receive different medicines based on their symptoms, digestion, emotional health and lifestyle.
