SAD Is Real...And Remedy-able 

In her book Homeopathic Guide to Stress, homeopath Miranda Castro offers much support to winter blues including this: "SAD", or Seasonal Affective Disorder, is the official label for a depression that surfaces during the short, dark, days of winter and disappears when the light and the sun return in the spring. Those with SAD might consider light therapy. Some hospitals, health centers and SAD support groups have "sun boxes" which provide a bank of full spectrum lights to help stimulate those light-sensitive hormones in the winter months. 

Key Singles for SAD

Causticum - If you are too chilly to enjoy cold dry weather, this remedy could be your match, especially if changes in temperature bother you until it changes to mild, wet weather which helps you relax both emotionally and physically. Worrying too much about what might go wrong for loved ones is another key to this remedy.

Phosphorus: As the sun seems to feed the energy in these outgoing, lively individuals, short dark days of winter and changes in temperature can be very draining and saddening to the people who need this remedy. So if fatigue, colds and anxiety take over when the sun goes under, this one is probably for you.

Rhus tox - Though you had best get some sun treatment if SAD is your issue, this remedy stands out among the best for symptoms and individuals who feel worse for cold cloudy weather.

Twas Two Days after Christmas

One of our customers gave us this story when she phoned to thank us for carrying Bach's Rescue Remedy: After getting practically everything she wanted (and more) for Christmas her 12 year old niece was grateful yet glum, moody and unexcitable. The let down after all the festivities was too much for her. After the girl's mother said, "I've had enough," the visiting aunt offered to give her niece a drop or two of Rescue Remedy to see if it might put a positive spin on her attitude. "Fine, whatever," was the skeptical response until a half hour after dosing when her daughter came out of her room smiling, engaging and back to her enthusiastic self. She even helped unload the car without being asked. What a turn around! According to our customer, the effect lasted through the rest of the visit (a week or so) and as far as she knows, to this day.
It's not an upper, it's not addictive, it's barely even chemical, it is just a gentle push in the right direction. Safe for all ages.

Rescue Remedy - This popular Bach Flower Essence combination was designed by Dr. Bach to, "help produce positive, calming, stabilizing effects in a wide range of stressful situations." Rescue Remedy can bring the composure needed to think clearly, calm down and save the day.
