Anxiety, depression, and panic attacks can be difficult to treat naturally without some guidance. It often involves long periods of trial and error, constantly searching for the next best thing, hoping that this one will be your magic cure. Does that sound familiar at all? Natural homeopathic remedies for treating anxiety can help you to deal with your symptoms as well as reducing how often they occur.
Homeopathic remedies use a very small amount of a substance to create an "essence" of the original substance still containing all of the desirable properties. They work by provoking a balancing reaction in the body which stimulates the body to heal and repair itself. Homeopathic remedies can be made out of anything from herb and plant extracts to minerals, to some substances normally considered to be toxic which can produce the desired reactions within the body, treating the actual causes of the illness and not just the symptoms. People seeking natural remedies tend to get interested in homeopathic remedies because of the low amount of foreign substances required to be put into the body to promote healing as well as the relatively low cost compared to conventional methods.
Some homeopathic remedies to treat anxiety and panic attacks are as follows:
Take 1 dose of 6X Gelsemium every 15 minutes or so, up to 4 doses maximum per episode until you start feeling calmer. The "X" means the substance is diluted 1 to 10.
If you are experiencing an especially bad panic attack, take 1 dose of 30C Aconite. The "C" means the substance is diluted 1 to 100.
Other homeopathic anxiety treatments include silicea, argentum nitricum, pulsatilla, arsenicum album, phosphorus, calcarea carbonica, natrum muriaticum, ignatia amara, lycopodium, and kali phosphoricum.
People who have used these homeopathic medicines to treat their anxiety and panic attacks report relief from symptoms that range anywhere from slightly improved to completely cured. Most people, even those only experiencing slight improvement, agree that the homeopathic remedies are at least allowing them to find a new level of relief when used in conjunction with their current conventional therapies.
As with any treatments, if you are seriously considering using homeopathic remedies for treating your anxiety and panic attacks, I suggest you visit a qualified professional such as a homeopathic doctor or homeopath to get the most effective substance for your needs and in the correct dosage. It is typical that two people with the same disorder will receive two completely different remedies due to the holistic nature of homeopathy. Your homeopath will treat your entire being including the mental and physical aspects, which is why it is important to seek professional assistance with these substances to insure you are getting the most out of the treatments. If you choose to give it a go by yourself, make sure you buy your remedies from a reputable vendor that is knowledgeable of the issues you are facing and make sure they carry good quality remedies. Do your homework and you shouldn't be disappointed.
