HOMEOPATHY FOR ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION REMEDIES. HOW CAN NAT MUR HELP YOU TO MOVE ON.

Homeopathy for anxiety and depression remedies. How can Nat Mur help you move on.

​Grief is a process of healing.

​As a homeopath, I have treated many people for emotional trauma and grief.

Grief is something that we can all relate to at one point or another, we all have had some kind of experience with it: the death of a loved one, the loss of a friendship, the loss of a job or wealth or feeling emotionally hurt in any way.

​In the present world, grief, anxiety and depression are seen as a state of weakness if they last more than a few months, therefore most people try to quickly get over it.

​However, this can very often be counterproductive as the person has not been able to deal with the feelings and emotions in an appropriate way.
​

​GRIEF, HOW LONG IS TOO LONG?

The stages of grief are a universal experience which was first  proposed by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross in the  1969 book on "Death and Dying".  

Through this stages, our mind spends a relative amount of time trying to deal with the feelings and emotions that arise as we move towards a resolution and finally acceptance.

The homeopathic remedies selected here may cover more than one stage and there are not exclusive to any  particular stage.

For dealing with anxiety after a severe trauma or grief, these other remedies more specific for anxiety will help to bring relief as you are navigating through the process. 

As we move through the stages of grief, we will move from one homeopathic remedy to the next, so for instance a person may be doing well on a remedy for a few months but suddenly, the progression is halted and by enquiring further another aspect of the case emerges.

It is important to understand that in a process like this, more than one remedy will be indicated to work of the emotions of the patient and that the help of a homeopath to unravel those layers is very important. 

It is always advisable to work with a homeopath for a deep emotional problems such as depression as it is important to understand the process and be guided with the remedies.
