A Season of Contradictions

Fall can be a season of contradictions.  While trees are turning brown and going to sleep, our schedules fill with deadlines and appointments; when it is time to hibernate, we have to catch up on all the home repairs we left undone; when we have to focus on new projects and motivating others, nature is drawing us inward with vivid colors and pacifying breezes.  

Fortunately homeopathy can help put your moods more in sync with the seasons and keep nerves steady under the pressure of it all.  When you are frustrated and weary from carting kids to and fro take a little Bioplasma to pick up your step.  When you are tired of sneezing every time you try to enjoy the colors of the season, see if Hayfever #59 or EC Nasal Spray can keep you breathing easy without making you dry or groggy.
Dreading the holiday rush and the hit your immune system always takes? Oscillococcinum, Vitamin C or Cold Solutions with Zinc could put your worries to rest....

The Indoor Life

If you are staring at the computer all day, or constantly cramming for exams, or just being a couch potato, there are plenty of health issues that homeopathy can help you overcome.  Eye strain, mental strain, a/c sinus strain and a very big case of the blahs.

Stress and Competition

Stress, some people seem to thrive on it, some don't seem to feel it at all, some feel it everywhere, some choke on it, some suppress it... but we all have a limit and crossing it is not fun.  The key is to find the remedies that keep your nerves healthy, your stress response to a minimum and your perspective wide.  It might take a homeopath to find the best key, but there are plenty of solutions right here:

Tranquility #74 - Though not the kind of tranquilizer that prevents you from driving, this remedy can have a very calming effect on stressed out nerves.
