Natural Remedies for Anxiety
Homeopathic remedies for anxiety
Anxiety - we all get it….sometimes
I don’t think there would a person alive who hasn’t experienced at some point in their lives anxiety - from mild and annoying in the background to full blown anxiety and panic attacks.
Perhaps it is part of being human, of having so many things that we have to ‘worry’ about - perhaps it is a maladaptive response that has come about through modern fast paced living.
For many people, adult and children anxiety has sky-rocketed over the past few years with so much change and uncertainty.
In fact latest data on anxiety disorders from the Anxiety & Depression Association of America is saying that Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults (19.1% of the population) age 18 and older every year= and that anxiety disorders affect 31.9% of adolescents between 13 and 18 years old.
Research shows that untreated teenagers with anxiety disorders are at higher risk to perform poorly in school, miss out of important social experiences and engage in substances abuse.
I think you could equally say that with adults some of those things would apply too - life takes on a very different hue when anxiety is a daily lived experience.
Homeopathy gives hope
Homeopathic remedies are natural and give hope to anxiety sufferers
Homeopathy provides so much hope for people suffering from anxiety. Not only does it alleviate the suffering it also assist with long term freedom from this often debilitating condition.
Let’s jump straight to it and look at some really good Homeopathy remedies you can try if anxiety is getting in the way of you enjoying life. Then I’ll cover some other supportive resources that clients of mine have found helpful in dealing with anxiety.
It is important to note that severe anxiety will require a full Homeopathic consultation and a remedy to match the state of the person. However you can try any of the following remedies in a 30c 3x daily for a week to see if you feel the benefit. If you don’t experience a reduction in symptoms within the week, then the remedy won’t be the correct one, so a more detailed exploration into your symptoms and history will be required.
In our Homeopathic repertory we have currently listed 975 remedies for anxiety and the specifics around them are very detailed and vast - from times of the day through to anxiety about loosing money, during menses, from the wind, during sleep, before exams…the list goes on and on. So even though it doesn’t do Homeopathy much justice to pull out just a few - I’ve done it anyway……read on….
