Homeopathic remedies for anxietyUnfortunately, 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 ANXIETYHowever, 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. |

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.
