Homeopathy and Anxiety

Anxiety is an emotion which is characterized by an inner state of turmoil and is usually an 'anticipatory' apprehension about a future threat. The threat can often be exaggerated in the eyes of the person experiencing it, leading to excessive nervousness, worry, and uneasiness. When a person experiences these emotions on a regular basis, then it can be classified as a disease or a disorder. Anxiety disorders can be severely limiting to the sense of freedom with which one can lead life. Western medication's solution to this difficult problem is usually to manage symptoms through drugs. Although these drugs offer little hope of a true recovery or cure, they often restore a semblance of normalcy to the affected person's life. However, these drugs often come with a long list of known side effects. Even though for many people western medication is the only option, it is also true that in a large proportion of the anxiety cases, homeopathy can be an extremely compelling alternative to pursue. It helps many cases of anxiety in a gentle way and can often lead to permanent reduction or resolution of anxiety symptoms. In my practice, I routinely see patients achieve freedom from this difficult condition in a very holistic way without lifelong dependence on medication. The process requires careful prescribing of deep acting homeopathic remedies (sometimes a series of remedies is needed) to remove the predispositions towards this condition. As always, the beauty of homeopathy is an ability to root out the very cause of the anxiety, and not just mask the symptoms. Some of the anxiety states that show great benefit under homeopathic treatment are:

• ​Panic attacks
• Generalized Anxiety Disorders
• OCD
• Social anxiety
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

They key thing to remember is that the power to heal lies within each person, and the right homeopathic remedy just galvanizes those powers to overcome the energetic imbalance that causes the anxiety. Most homeopaths have seen the profound impact of the correct homeopathic remedy in resolving the deepest of mental conditions and anxiety is definitely one of them. If you would like to know more about how homeopathy may help you overcome anxiety permanently, please talk to a competent homeopath.
