The Importance of Mental and Emotional symptoms

Did you know that many physical illnesses are due to mental and emotional issues?  It is true.

Some people tend to suppress their feelings and that can cause a whole host of physical problems.  Even those who vent their feelings freely can manifest physical symptoms.   Everyone is different and exhibits their own unique set of symptoms. That is why Homeopathy works so well to help heal that individual. It is not a one size fits all solution!

Homeopathy looks at the entire person and all of their symptoms, not only their chief complaints.  It is important to understand what triggered the issue and get to the root cause of the problem.   For example, a person experiencing a loss or multiple losses within a short period of time could break out in hives or have a stomach disorder.  It is more important to treat the grief rather than the physical manifestation.  

Some excellent remedies for grief and anxiety are:

Ignatia amara– for an acute sense of loss or grief that is more recent

Natrum muriaticum – for a more chronic state of grief even though it may be felt acutely

Aconitum napellus – for more acute anxiety that comes on suddenly 

Arsenicum album – for more chronic anxiety that you can feel in the gut, often accompanied by diarrhea and nervousness
