Homeopathy Addresses Fear And Anxiety
By Joette Calabrese
During the time of and shortly after 911, became a most powerful tool in addressing fear and anxiety. Many clients, whom I never met, called me from NYC and Washington, D.C. Years later, we are faced with a national economic struggle and the similar phone calls are coming into my office. How can we address the uncomfortable emotions of anxiety and fear via homeopathy?
First, we need to understand that doesnt treat the symptoms. Instead, it uses the symptoms to find the correct remedy. We must look at how the suffering is experienced. Is the person shaky, restless or talkative? Does he look cowardly, irritable, or upset? The symptoms must be considered. They are our gifts that represent the inner experience of the sufferer. We can ask : Are you depressed? But, our observation can often be more fruitful. This would be shown by not expressing a smile, eyes gazing downward or a furrowed brow. Our observational skills are paramount. When I work with people over the phone, I have learned to pick up on voice nuances to represent the same.
One of the first homeopathic remedies for anxiety after a fear from a market turn or any other similar shock is Aconitum. Aconitum is a remedy for exactly thatshocking news. It is useful for someone who becomes frightened in a crowd, full of anguish, restless, has difficulty concentrating, fears sensations at the heart or fears the dark and darkened rooms. In fact, it is one of our first choices for an impending heart attack. It is also useful for an anxiety that has been locked away in the persons psyche for many years.
For example, after being robbed at knife point 15 years ago, Katherine found she couldnt go into crowds. She realized it wasnt normal and tried meds prescribed by her doctor, but they just made her feel flat. Then she attempted hypnosis. It was innocuous enough, but she simply couldnt get past the fear. After three days of taking Aconitum, she was able to go to a philharmonic concert without a care. Previous to this, although she was a symphony enthusiast, she simply couldnt remain seated.
If Aconitum seems remarkable, consider another remedy, Argentum nitricum. It, too, has anxiety, but instead of experiencing it in the heart, this sufferer feels it in the stomach region, particularly at the navel area. This person is always in a hurry, fidgety, scared and must walk quickly until he finds hes nearly running. He runs and runs until he exhausts himself. This person lives in horrifying fear of impending doom, always anticipating the worst. Digestion becomes a problem and the sufferer can barely eat. Instead, he shakes at the thought of the fears that control him the most.
There are little places in the world where we can turn to assuage the fears that abound. offers this calm cadence. The little pills of that are gentle, polite and oh, so powerful can at times of stress become a powerhouse of stillness and comfort. Never addicting, always without side effects and oddly enough, remarkably inexpensive. Join the millions of others throughout the world who have come to depend on the healing power of and step into the peace of relief.
