Homeopathic remedies for anxiety


​Unfortunately, in these present times, anxiety and depression are one of the main reasons people will visit their GPs. Homeopathic remedies can provide relief for the symptoms of anxiety. Homeopathic treatment of anxiety can produce excellent results to help people live a more enjoyable life.

​The world in which we live today is highly pressurised, high-stress jobs, high living expenses, the need to achieve and maintain our position. 

​No time to relax and enjoy life, these are too common themes in our lives giving us very little breathing space.

Other times, life circumstances like a major loss of wealth or death of a dear one can make us change the way we perceive things by creating a loop that takes us back to the trauma over and over and we just can't let go.

In some form, we have all being there and can relate to it.

FEELING APPREHENSIVE
​

Feeling anxious about something from time to time is normal for instance starting a new job, changing schools, meeting someone new or making a big decision in your life.

These are all everyday things that can make you feel apprehensive and disturb your sleep and your digestive system!

From extra visits to the loo to biting your nails, these are all familiar symptoms can we have all experienced at different times in our lives.
​

LIVING WITH CHRONIC ANXIETY

However, living with anxiety and suffering from panic attacks on a daily basis is not normal and can be very debilitating, it is  often linked to depression or low mood. 
​
This kind of anxiety is better suited to deep homeopathic treatment with an experienced practitioner to guide you through the process which can be quite complex.

​It usually involves treating several layers to restore balance while working with therapeutic remedies to relieve the main symptoms.

​HOW CAN HOMEOPATHY HELP YOU

Homeopathy is very effective at dealing with both acute and chronic states of anxiety.

Below are some homeopathic remedies for anxiety that can help to reduce the levels of stress and give you some breathing space when we most need it!


ACONITE 30/200C 

This is one of the top remedies for dealing with anxiety and panic attacks. This is for acute situations where the fear and anxiety take hold of us.

The mind is affected by such emotional aspects such as fright or shock and the fear or fright remains.

For instance, after witnessing a car crash, you keep waking up at night for weeks and are unable to get it out of your mind. Aconite 200 will help you to  integrate the experience and move on.

Aconite is also a great remedy for people that are quite apprehensive and need to go through something that they fear, for instance going to the dentist for an extraction or having a blood test done.

It is my favourite remedy for fear of going to the dentist and it goes long way in our house!

The person may also have
  • palpitations,
  • tingling fingertips
  • numbness 
  • cold hands or feet and shortness of breath.
  • nail bitting
  • afraid to go out
​
During the anxiety attacks the person may feel like if it is going to die.
​There is a tremendous FEAR.


ARSENICUM ALBUM 30C/200c 

Anxiety about health and despair of recovery. Feeling very restless and needed to change place continually.  Trembling with cold sweat. The person may fear to be alone and want someone to be with them all the time.

Looking pale and anxious. Feeling out of breath.

People needing this remedy, tend to be perfectionists and sensitive to disorder and need to be in control of everything.

This remedy would be very suited to those that are going through medical tests and are waiting for the outcomes. It is that kind of anxiety that I am trying to describe - as if when you are waiting at the phone to find out the results of your tests.

The restless feeling that goes with it, is the main sensation here.

On the other hand, this remedy will also suit the student that has a big overload and is finding difficult to fit everything into the deadlines, and as a result he is becoming anxious about things are not being finished on time.

The super organised student that likes to have everything under control.

This person may wake up around 3 am feeling very anxious with a hot feeling and nausea.


 Anxiety homeopathy treatment

ARGENTUM NITRITICUM 30, 200C 

Lots of fears creating anxiety, just thinking about what happened if he as in that situation will create an attack. 

Fear brought on by suspense.

For instance, you may have fear of being in a crowd so you may imagine all the worst scenarios as if you were there, this is like if the person gets stuck in thinking "WHAT IF..." and never lets go of the idea that something could happen, making it very hard to deal with everyday scenarios.

This is a general everyday anxiety remedy, and to be honest -who can say that have not experienced that?
  • what if I do not pass the driving test?
  • what if I do not do well on my exam?
  • what if I mess up on the first day of my job?
  • what if I meet up with him and he does not like me?
  • what if there is something wrong with me?
  • what if I can not do it?

The anxiety may be accompanied by many digestive disturbances such as belching, flatulence and diarrhoea.

PHOSPHORUS 30/200c

The anxiety of this remedy is mainly centred to the "fear that something will happen".

This anxiety is usually worse in the dark or twilight and it is also worst by being alone, their anxiety is better when they are in close contact with people.

The Phosphorus person is easily frightened but easly reassured. And having someone to talk about it may just give them a big relief.

The person needing this remedy may feel anxious for others. Their physical anxiety tends to start with a fluttering of the stomach. 


For instance it is very often that the person needing this remedy will complain that their stomach hurts when they are nervous.

This remedy is suited to people that are very anxious by nature and tend to worry a lot.

These are warm and caring people, very good-hearted that embrace everything with welcome arms but at the same time, they  have little boundaries for separating their feeling to those of others and end up taking the worries from anyone around them.

So for instance this will suit the anxiety of someone living with someone with an illness and it feels very affected by it. You will feel their pain and can not stop worrying about them.

This remedy can also suit the child that has parents that they are going through a divorce. He sits in the middle and feels sorry for both and himself. 

People needing this remedy tend to worry a lot about others. And their anxiety may be related to theirs.

As a general note, physical contact seems to help them feel better and reassured. So for a child, holding hands or sitting in your lap can help to make them feel better.

IGNATIA 200C

This remedy tends to help people that have suffered from grief, worry or disappointment and are affected by it.

Ignatia state can also be brought by worry.

Highly alert, oversensitive and nervous, also highly emotional. You may find yourself having sighs more often than usual and you can alternate between laughing and crying very easily.

Feeling as if a lump in the throat and desires to take deep breaths.

People needing this remedy they can find themselves in the middle of a difficult situation that is making them very upset. This could be  living with a difficult partner that is causing much upset, or going through some kind of loss in their lives. 

For instance, the anxiety started soon after a dear person or a pet has died, or feeling generally anxious after an argument with someone close to us. After this, you find difficult to let go and keep thinking about it.

If you are feeling anxious or having trouble sleeping after any of this scenarios, chances are that Ignatia 200 taken twice per day will help you.

You may also find helpful
  • Homeopathy for grief and depression
  • Homeopathic remedies for insomnia​
​

​LYCOPODIUM 200

People suffering anxiety that need this remedy are affected by
  • lack of self-confidence,
  • anticipation and
  • undertaking new things.

There is a constant fear that they will break down under stress but actually, in the middle of it, they tend to perform well.

This is a good remedy for people who have to take a presentation and feel very anxious about it. They tend to say that it all goes well once they start but they get very nervous before starting, even as early as the day before.

Also this is a good remedy for anxiety for someone starting a new job or working under someone that is a bit authoritarian and your confidence is undermined. 

You may find that around this time of anxiety you suffer from bloating and excessive wind, feeling as a band around the waist and have a desire to eat sweets things.  


GELSEMIUM 30

The same as with Lycopodium people needing this remedy, people needing Gelsemium tend to suffer from performance anxiety.

Anxiety brought on by the anticipation of any unusual ordeal and nervous dread of appearing in public or doing something which can bring on diarrhoea.

You can feel worse by thinking about it and this can accentuate your symptoms.


However, this type of anxiety comes on with trembling or shaking of the limbs or whole body and you can feel muscle weakness making you feel very tired. This is worse in the extremities and your limbs may feel sore.

There is also this peculiar tiredness relating to this remedy, the tiredness can be felt in the eyelids, making them feel very heavy.

It is likely that you have diarrhea together with the anxiety.

ADRENALINUM 30c 

This is a great remedy to take in situations that we find stressful and we feel an adrenaline surge!

Dear Christina
my homeopathic doctor here in Belgium says he is not quite sure if the C potenties are the same as the CH potenties which he uses.
And he finds it quite strange that one would use 200 CH , which no pharmacy (according to him) can supply.
Help, can you advise me (and my doctor) about that.?
Thank you
Johan

Dear Johan,

You can tell your doctor that yes, they are the same.
When I was prescribing to Spanish patient's from the UK I encountered the same problem, patient's would come back to me saying that they did not have that potency! So I had to do a bit of research. It seems like in Europe (or at least Spain) they are a bit more specific in how the tell you about the scale of potency in a remedy. So the CH, stands for the Hahnemannian method of raising the potency by hand....therefore, they only do it until a certain number, usually up to 200 ch as it would be extremely laborious to produce higher potencies by hand. That is why you will not find all potency or most potencies in 200CH ( but you can find then in C or K). After that, they do it with the machine with the Korsakov method and they will put the letter K after the number to let you know that they were done in the machine- for instance 200k. Here in England, they only do the first few potencies by hand and then they raise the potency with the Korsakov machine but they will only tell you the potency of the scale, C or D. So tell him he can order the 200c, it is the same therapeutic principle as the CH.

thank you for that information. Now my next step is to find a pharmacist willing to make the 200 C potenties

Hi Johan,
In Germany, I also find that it's very difficult to get C200 potencies at the pharmacy. Most shops here only carry C30 or less. I've had some luck with the Shop-Apotheke online pharmacy here. I don't know if they operate also in Belgium, but perhaps there are other online pharmacies near you. Best of luck!

I just found your site and although my anxiety is chronic I would like to try the Phosphorus 30 to see if that will take the edge off. If not, I may soon need your help:) My question is, how do I dose and how much time should I give it before deciding if I need to make an appointment or not. Thank you for the work you do!

It really depends on the problem that you are experiencing and if it is chronic or acute. For a general acute situation, you can take 30c twice per day for a week or 10 days and asses if this is a good match. For a more chronic problem, you want to go higher in potency lets say 200 and take it less often, generally twice per week for a month and asses then. I hope this is helpful! download my free guide to dosing homeopathic remedies from my website to help you a bit more to understand dosing remedies.

Dear Christina,

My daughter who is16 years old is very fearfull when she must take exams. She understands the material but when she must perform she is so anxious that she has a black out and remembers nothing. I gave her gelsemium when she has a oral exam but she doesn' t respond on that. She can't sleep, cry's a lot beacause she has so much stress. She has a high IQ, is hypersensitive but she cant petform under presure. What remedy is the best for her?

Karine,
Perhaps Christina will have a better suggestion but I would try Kali Phos 3x or 6x twice daily until better.

My 8yr child had a horrible stomach virus (voluminous vomiting & diarrhea, low grade temp (never above 100.2F), no eating, poor drinking) with symptoms lasting 7 days. I started w Arsenicum 30c as needed & did give her a dose of lycopodium 30 as this is her constitutional remedy. Eventually based on her vomiting immediately after drinking, cold nose, cold & blue feet, & chills I gave her veratrum album 30c ( twice/day x 2 days).

After her symptoms have resolved, I have now learned that she has a recurring bad dream w a “voice” from the dream that seems to scare her throughout the night & day. During the stomach virus she was highly anxious & kept asking if she’d be ok & the night of her bad dream was completely horrified.

Would you recommend trying Arsenicum 30c as she fit those key notes you mentioned the last time this recurring dream woke her? Or would maybe trying Calc Carb be advisable? She used to have night terrors when 2-3yrs old but those have since resolved.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

I am unable to give recomendaciones for individual cases but if your daughter had night terrors previously, this is more of a chronic picture than an acute case of anxiety as per your description. The whole case needs to be worked on.

I can not do individual recommendations on my blogs but the first remedy I would consider for this is Aconite. But be flexible if one does not help, try the other one.

My daughter, 9, has severe separation anxiety, school drop offs are a nightmare, won’t do play dates unless I’m there, won’t do holiday activities etc and has been on puls 1M/ 30 for a few months. She has was previously on Mag mur 200c, and carc 30c, nothing really seemed to help. She is terrified of being on a boat, screams and we want to be able to get her on a plane. She is not keen. But has been previously so this is a new fear (in the last 2 years.). Any suggestions? I feel like we have tried so many different remedies for her anxiety.

Hi Cristina
I was wondering if you have a BP protocol for high cholesterol low HDL and LDL.
And how long should I do the protocol before I repeat my blood test.
Thank you so much for your help!
