Relationship Disappointments and Homeopathy

In modern times, our fast paced lifestyles, high stress levels, the ensuing lower tolerance levels, and constant stimulation/temptation through media & technology have made our inter-personal relationships undergo an unprecedented amount of friction. In my practice, I often see patients who are "never-well since" a negative relationship outcome (a divorce, break-up, infidelity etc). Homeopathy is a great system of healing to address the challenges of life and to get rid of the "psychological baggage" that often causes permanent damage to the health and vitality of the person undergoing such an event. Homeopathy tackles this problem in a dual way:

1. Firstly, we have specific remedies in homeopathy to tackle ailments that begin from negative life events. In such cases though, it is critical to understand the main underlying feeling of the patient when the event happened (both in the days leading up-to it and in the immediate aftermath). Was it fear? Was it grief? Was it anger? Was it humiliation? Or perhaps it was a feeling of being deceived or cheated? Or was it just a deep disappointment ? Did the patient have to suppress his/her emotions? Regardless of the exact emotion, the correctly chosen remedy will remove the psychological baggage associated with these causative factors.
2. Secondly, homeopaths take that causation along with any other mental, physical or general symptoms (e.g. decreased appetite, irritability, or other functional symptoms like headaches and digestive/sleep issues etc) that the patient  is experiencing (everything that changed about the patient since the event happened is important) to give that one remedy which can bring the subtle energy or the life force of the organism back into balance. Of particular importance in this sphere are peculiar, strange and rare symptoms. This holistic prescribing often brings about a feeling a general well being, better energy and positive thinking  along with addressing the physical complaints which began since the event.

Western medication on the other hand is fairly limited in its impact in such cases (apart from temporary symptomatic relief by masking the physical symptoms), as it cannot address the root cause or etiology of the disease in such cases which is often a strong emotion that overpowered the life force during the negative life event. So, next time you see a person who has undergone a profound change in mental, emotional or physical health, and is experiencing what we would call as 'systemic' issues, after a negative relationship event, turn your eye to homeopathy. It has the depth and profoundness to heal the scars of an emotional trauma, ridding the life force of the emotional baggage, often guiding the person into a state of long-term health and vitality in a rapid, gentle and permanent way.
