Our innate desire is to be happy, and when we move away from it, we experience fear.This fear is actually millions of years old, for it arises from the biological programming of our species.While we may not have to contend with a sabre-toothed tiger on any given day, we still use those very reactions to deal with events looming ahead.We think, "Will I be fired for making that mistake at work?" or "Will I be able to meet the mortgage after I fix the car?" or "Will my health continue to decline?" or "Will my relationship fall apart after that argument we just fell into?"Running questions with this type of urgency and helplessness trains our brains to prepare now for future danger by loading our bodies up with the stress hormone cortisol.Anxiety is our anticipation of a dangerous future. We imagine having even less of the little that we have today.
Firstly, let's discuss what homeopathy actually is so you have a clear understanding of the treatments discussed below. Homeopathy is a particular system of medicine that treats a person with highly diluted substances, typically in tablet form, it is believed this will trigger the body's natural healing system. Based on symptoms, a homeopath will choose the appropriate medicine for that patient. The dosages are prepared by pharmacies that specialize in homeopathy and vary in potency which allows for specific treatment plans for each individual.The first step of treating anxiety with homeopathic remedies is to determine which type of anxiety you are suffering from. Four types and their homeopathic remedies are outlined below.
Event Related Anxiety: This type of anxiety has to do with worrying or stressing about a future event, such as public speaking or taking a test, or perhaps even going on a date. To help cure this naturally one can take Argentum Nitricum, particularly if your symptoms are accompanied by diarrhea and/or dizziness. Gelsemium is a good choice for symptoms that are joined with chills, headaches or perspiration.Social Anxiety: Feeling anxious in social situations can have a very negative effect on someone's life, you might suffer from shyness, low self-esteem, claustrophobia or even migraines. To deal with this type using homeopathic remedies you can try Natrum Muriaticum and Silicea.Health Related Anxiety: This can mean that you experience your symptoms when you are concerned about your health or safety and sometimes these symptoms can lead to others like digestive issues or even asthma attacks. To resolve this issue take Arsenicum Album.
Although homeopathic medicine works on all physical and emotional ailments, I decided to focus on anxiety in this article because anxiety seems to be at an all time high in our society. Anxiety can stop you in your tracks and have a devastating impact on the quality of your life. It is an intense emotional pain that we will do anything to avoid. We are programmed to move away from pain towards pleasure as quickly as possible. When we do this with anxiety, the anxiety gathers momentum because it is not challenged (what we resist persists). In our bid to avoid future bouts of anxiety, we will develop a range of strategies to cope. One strategy is avoidance. The anxious person knows what triggers their anxiety so they avoid those situations. This hugely restricts the freedom of the sufferer and leaves the anxiety lying dormant just waiting to strike again. Often people with anxiety will not seek treatment because they fear that they will have to face their anxiety and suffer through it in order to be cured. This is not the case with homeopathic medicine. Homeopathy does not just control the symptoms of anxiety. It cures the anxiety at its root. It cures naturally and safely without conscious effort on your part. I will list some useful remedies at the end of this article, but first let us look at anxiety.
Despite the billions of dollars spent to heal anxiety and depression, and all the mood disorders and behavioral anomalies that arise from them, the cure is simple, quick, and free.Anxiety is a condition wherein people experience the feelings of dreadfulness, uneasiness, apprehension, worry and fear. In response to stressors that people experience, anxiety is a normal reaction or a normal coping mechanism. But for others, their anxiety can become excessive, in which point it then turns into a disorder. Anxiety affects not only the emotional and psychological aspects but they also have physical and even behavioral effects on people. There is an anxiety treatment developed to help people with anxiety disorders. This anxiety treatment can be categorized into 3, namely medicine-based anxiety treatment, psychology-based anxiety treatment and the alternative approach to anxiety treatment.
Medicine-Based Anxiety Treatment.Many people who are suffering from anxiety disorders rely on drugs or medications in order to help them function and perform their regular daily activities. Of course, the main goal of the medical treatment is to try and eliminate the anxiety disorder. These drugs would also try to help reduce the symptoms and recurrences of these anxiety disorders. These are some of the common drugs used in anxiety treatment:SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) - This class of drug helps to inhibit or block the reuptake (or reabsorption) of serotonin. Serotonin is a chemical in the brain that functions to regulate the mood as well as anxiety. SSRIs are the first drug of choice for some anxiety disorders. Examples of SSRIs include two well known brands, Prozac and Zoloft.
Benzodiazepines - These are drugs that are quite effective in relaxing and calming people. This anxiety treatment helps reduce many physical symptoms of anxiety disorders. Benzodiazepines, however, are only used short-term because prolonged use may cause problems with tolerance as well as dependence on the drug.Tricyclic Antidepressants - These are effective anxiety treatment and are preferred for long term use as opposed to benzodiazepines.People should exercise caution when taking these drugs because all of them have side effects that can be quite dangerous to one's health so they must be prescribed by someone certified and their effects and side effects must be explained thoroughly to patients taking them.
The second almost unknown fact is that the psychostimulant drugs like Adderall and Ritalin, when prescribed for ADHD, often increase anxiety and the child is left feeling very unhappy. This seems to be the antitheses of what a happy childhood should be.Yet the pharmaceutical companies have played this one down so much that people rarely know anything about it. They know all about the so called heart risks (which actually seem to be almost nil) but nothing about anxiety which is rife!
Applied relaxation treatment - This anxiety remedy aims to help people relax or practice relaxation techniques whenever they are faced with anxiety-inducing situations. One of the main aims of this therapy is to help you relax or loosen your muscles when you start to feel anxious. Breathing techniques or using words such as "relax" are examples of the applied relaxation treatment.
Alternative Approach to Anxiety Treatment.There are a lot of alternative approaches used for anxiety remedy today. Most of them are used as a complimentary treatment to either medical or psychological approach. Here are a couple examples:Yoga - Yoga, with its breathing and postural control and even its meditation aspect is quite effective in helping one relax and control one's anxiety. Because of this, it is considered as one of the best alternative treatments used in anxiety disorders.Acupuncture - This technique of sticking needles into specific areas of the body to help with the flow of energy was introduced by the people of China, but it is now being used all over the world. It is also being used as an effective complimentary anxiety treatment.
