Homeopathic Remedies for Stress

Many of homeopathy’s best single remedies for stress are in these two most popular homeopathic combinations, Anxiety/Depression #304 and Sleep #173. These single remedies are currently ranking unusually high in sales for the season as well.

Anxiety/Depression #304

When stress makes nerves and emotions run contrary to your goals, this comprehensive combination offers calming stabilizing support. It begins with Agnus castus, a lesser known remedy, which helps when despair and great sadness make one easily distracted and forgetful.

• Gelsemium - Ideal relief for anticipatory nerves before exams, performances, interviews or other stressful situations when a heavy dullness and butterfly stomachs threaten your success.

• Ignatia - Offers essential calming support when grief, homesickness, heartbreak, disappointment, anger or shocking news strain nerves, energy and health.

• Lycopodium - Relieves worried, anxious nerves overwhelmed by stage fright, apprehension or indecision.

• Kali phos - Nerve nutrient cell salt helps nerves counter-balance stress, worry, sadness, pain and fatigue.

• Passiflora - Offers gentle calming support for natural relief and a good night’s sleep.
From stage fright to home-sickness, this calming remedy offers nerves a chance to relax, recover and do their best. 100% natural, worry-free relief. L304 500 tabs $7.95

Sleep #173

Not a sedative, not addictive, safe for kids and adults alike, just 100% natural calming support for a restful sleep.

• The oat remedy, Avena helps that ‘too tired to sleep’ rut that so many of us get into after a day of mental/nervous exertion, and aids recovery when suffering fatigue after a flu, other illness, or even a hangover.

• Kali phos, the nerve nutrient cell salt, restores calm and composure to over-stressed, restless or emotional nerves, as well as injured painful nerves.

• Though its name is passionflower, Passiflora has the uncanny ability to bring on sweet dreams when the day’s passions are past.

With Sleep #173 and a reminder that you will have plenty of time to worry tomorrow, you should be able to get the rest you need and deserve.

Two more Single Homeopathic remedies to consider:

Nux vomica

Some are born Nux, some achieve Nuxness some have Nux-ishness thrust upon them.
Stress and excesses of work, fun, food, stimulants, anger, etc, can stimulate the symptoms this versatile remedy relieves. When too many deadlines, tests, projects, parties, cups of coffee, etc., stress our physical, mental and emotional balance, Nux is especially apt at calming bouts of great anger, irritability, tearing headaches, heartburn, colds, flu, hangovers and 3am sleeplessness.

Ars alb:

For the compulsive worrier, this remedy can be ideal. When stress intensifies the need for control and cleanliness, brings fear and insecurities to the forefront, and causes burning headaches and gastric distress, Ars alb offers unique calming support.

With professional care, the opportunities are endless.

Bad News Starts Good Trend To Find Calm, Naturally

Sales and praise for 1800 Homeopathy’s most popular homeopathic stress and sleep remedies are unusually high for summer. 1800 HOMEOPATHY’s Anxiety/Depression #304 and Sleep #173 were second only to Arnica in June and July – a place they usually earn in the dead of winter.

Good News?

Rather than attributing this change to all the bad news, couldn’t this mean that people are learning to trust homeopathy’s safe, natural options for enhancing mental and emotional stability, and counterbalancing the effects of stress? The fact that homeopathy works with the body’s own resources to find calm instead of deadening nerves or numbing the senses, makes it ideal for self care. You can trust that, with a gentle dose of the right remedy, your body can cope with the stress and help itself.

From an Expert

Homeopathy’s regard for stress and our unique responses to it, inspired one of the best writers and teachers in homeopathy today, Miranda Castro, FSHom.

“When I first ‘discovered’ homeopathy I felt as if I had ‘come home’.  One of the main reasons for this feeling was that my homeopath took a wide view of stress, one I hadn’t experienced or heard of in any other medical discipline. It was such a relief to know that there was a place where medical professionals not only saw that each individual was unique, with particular strengths and weaknesses, but that each person was potentially vulnerable to different stresses, or would at least respond in their own way to different stresses – whether they were physical, mental or emotional. This made tremendous sense to me....  A well chosen homeopathic remedy can heal emotional pain as well as physical symptoms, and enable people to recover their vitality and sense of well-being.”
