Anxiety & Anticipation Homeopathic Treatment Considerations

You will need the help of a homeopathic practitioner to treat chronic fears and anxieties, but there are a number of 'one-off' crises that you can usually treat yourself. These include worries and panics about taking exams, attending important interviews, meeting new people, flying, public speaking and many other similar problems.

Anxiety has been treated by homeopathy.

Anxiety requires detailed specific prescribing of the "right" homeopathic remedy.

Trial and error or shotgun prescribing does not work, and therefore we don't recommend self-medication. In fact, self-medication will complicate the overall symptom picture.

Below are only some of the remedies we may prescribe, please note how important the individual symptom picture is. Only when all symptoms, aggravation or amelioration are taken into consideration can a specific homeopathic remedy be selected. A further consideration is given to the potency of the remedy.

Homeopathic Treatment Considerations:

Aconite - You feel real terror and fright, and even fear of death. You 'know' that the plane is going to crash and nothing will save you! Try using Aconite before and after the event if you can't shake off the nightmare feeling.
Arsenicum - You cannot bear to be alone and feel very restless. You need constant reassurance that you will survive the ordeal. Midnight, or the hours after can be particularly bad time for you.
Arg Nit - You feel anxiety rather than sheer terror; you simply cannot face the world and feel almost paralyzed into inactivity. The anxiety can cause diarrhoea. Arg Nit is a good claustrophobia remedy, so it may be useful if, for example, you are afraid of flying.
Gelsemium - You experience anticipatory fears, you feel weak and tired and your muscles will not obey you. This remedy helps in situations that induce the 'shakes' and 'trembles'.
Phosphorus - This remedy acts best if you are nervous and very sensitive, you feel much better in company. Twilight and shadows can cause you deep anxiety and sudden loud noises, such as thunder, can be very frightening.
I suggest using the Bach Flower Essence Rescue Remedy.
