Homeopathic Remedies for Anxiety

We all have fears and worries but when they begin to dominate our life

and our behavior, and become the focal point in which everything

revolves, that's anxiety. Many factors can contribute; trauma, chemical

sensitivity, caffeine, heredity, drugs, alcohol, lifestyle choices....If

you cannot change the situation that is the focus of anxiety, try to

determine a way of trying to change your way of handling the problem.

Relaxation of the mind and body and stress reduction are key.

Anxiety is often vague and undirected, a sinking feeling that something

terrible is about to happen. Unlike concrete fears (of illness or losing

a job, for example), anxiety often stems from what used to be called

borrowed trouble. Anxious people imagine worst-case scenarios and spend

lots of time dreading things that may never happen. For persistent

anxiety, seek professional counseling. But the natural remedies can help

tremendously.

Anxiety disorders are possibly the most common and frequently occurring

disorders of the mind/body. They include a group of conditions that

share extreme anxiety as the principal disturbance of mood or emotional

tone. Anxiety, which may be understood as the pathological counterpart

of normal fear, is manifest by disturbances of mood, as well as of

thinking, behavior and physiological activity. Included in this category

are panic disorder (with or without a history of agoraphobia),

agoraphobia (with or without a history of panic disorder), generalized

anxiety disorder, specific phobia, social phobia, obsessive-compulsive

disorders, acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder .

Homeopathy

This medical system uses infinitesimal doses of natural substances to

stimulate a person's immune system and body's natural defenses.

Homeopathic remedies are named for the plant or animal ingredients they

are made from. Homeopathy not only offers relief from temporary

disorders but, can provide long term healing of a person due to its

individual and " wholistic " approach. This often leads to a complete

recovery from the dis-ease, as well as, providing an improved

understanding of the patient's situation. This type of healing makes it

easier and possible to avoid recurrence or relapses in the future and

homeopathy stimulates the body's natural defense system by

reestablishing normal immune system and cell functioning.

Anxiety:

Gelsemium 30c and Argentum Nitricum are often considered for symptoms of

are both anxiety, sense of imbalance, apprehension and panic.

Ignatia Amara 6c ia a remedy best known for helping in times of grief.

Aconitum napellus: A panic attack that comes on suddenly with very

strong fear (even fear of death) may indicate this remedy. A state of

immense anxiety may be accompanied by strong palpitations, shortness of

breath, and flushing of the face. Sometimes a shaking experience will be

the underlying cause. Strong feelings of anxiety may also occur when a

person is just beginning to come down with a flu or cold.

Argentum nitricum: This remedy can be helpful when anxiety develops

before a big event: an exam, an important interview, a public appearance

or social engagement. Dizziness and diarrhea may also be experienced.

People who need this remedy are often enthusiastic and suggestible, with

a tendency toward peculiar thoughts and impulses. They often crave

sweets and salt (which usually make their symptoms worse).

Arsenicum album: People who are deeply anxious about their health, and

extremely concerned with order and security, often benefit from this

remedy. Obsessive about small details and very neat, they may feel a

desperate need to be in control of everything. Panic attacks often occur

around midnight or the very early hours of the morning. The person may

feel exhausted yet still be restless—fidgeting, pacing, and anxiously

moving from place to place. These people may also have digestive

problems or asthma attacks accompanied by anxiety.
