Many single remedies can be
used to address acute stress
symptoms in anybody at any
time, just like combinations.
But for deeper resolve... |
...you can turn these challenges into
opportunities for finding the individual single remedy that offers
you the most balance and support.
Of course with homeopathy it's not like
choosing between an aspirin or an ibuprofen product. You have to
personalize the picture to find your match. As none of them do any
harm, you can think of it as a puzzle you need to solve. Or better
yet, you can call on a homeopath to do some serious sleuthing (click
on the Find
a Practitioner box on our website).
These following expert insights help define a few key spin cycle remedies:
Arsenicum alb can help the world's most fastidious worriers.
"Vithoulkas uses the term, 'insecurity' to describe the essence of this
remedy, by which he means that the patient has an often overwhelming
sense of vulnerability in the world and fear for his well-being and
material security. "
-Roger Morrison, Desktop Guide
"Arsenicum
characters are more restless and anxious than virtually any other remedy
type."
-Miranda Castro,
Complete Homeopathy Handbook
Bryonia alb shows up when practical folks lose sound footing.
"People firmly rooted in the material world, objective and business-like,
not hindered by much emotion... stock-brokers, businessmen. They are
sober, methodical, censorious, reliable, economical and dry. When
lacking this sure ground, they become irritable, anxious and sad."
-Frans Vermuelen, condensed Synoptic Materia Medica
Chamomilla is too often pigeonholed as a children's remedy.
"This remedy is indicated for anyone who has been in a highly emotional
state (typically angry) for some time, becoming oversensitive as a
result, either mentally or physically or both with severe pains that
cause more anger."
-Miranda Castro,
Homeopathic Guide to Stress
Gelsemium is a quick healthy fix when fear of performing keeps you
nervy.
"Gelsemium is for those paralyzed with anxiety and fear, mentally and
physically, before an important event... They are shy about appearing in
public... They look, as well as feel stupid. ...These are dull, sluggish
types who want to be left alone, to be quiet. They become apathetic and
physically exhausted when stressed. They can become paralyzed with
grief. A
Gelsemium state can also come on from overexcitement. "
-Miranda Castro,
Homeopathic Guide to Stress
Ignatia can bring awesome relief to those fretted or worn down by
unresolved grief, loss, homesickness or turmoil.
"Ignatia is valuable at all stages in life, for sensitive children
who have developed sore throats or a tummy-ache or insomnia after being
punished or severely frightened or if homesick; for teenagers who brood
and pine after being ditched by a 'loved one' (they fall in love very
easily); for men and women at all ages and in all walks of life who have
suffered inwardly and become introspective and moody ... suffering from
ill health as a result."
-Miranda Castro,
Complete Homeopathy Handbook
Lycopodium addresses children and adults who often arrive at worry
and indecision when the volly between their timid side and inflated
sense of self are put to the test. "Lycopodium
characters are generally anxious and will worry about most things
because of an essential lack of self-confidence."
-Miranda Castro,
Complete Homeopathy Handbook
"If a
Lycopodium child feels a sense of failure, this can play havoc with
his or her ego, which is usually rather brittle or frail."
- Robin Hayfield, The Family Homeopath
Nux vom
helps when too much is too much.
"Nux
vomica types are self-indulgent workaholics! They overdo everything:
they work too hard, stay out too late, ... become too wound up to sleep
and then consume coffee...Then they find it difficult to concentrate and
lose interest in their work. They become a bag of nerves."
-Miranda Castro,
Complete Homeopathy Handbook
"At school age, the child is extremely competitive..., a terrible loser.
...Many
Nux children exhibit strong fears, especially fear of the dark."
-Roger Morrison, Desktop Guide
Pulsatilla can steady mood swings that may swing every direction.
"These are gentle, mild, yielding individuals... They are highly
emotional with surprising mood swings, weeping one moment, irritable the
next and then full of anxiety. Because of their dependency, the opinions
of others are terribly important to them and they worry about this."
- Miranda Castro,
Homeopathic Guide to Stress
