HOMEOPATHY AND STRESS
Hello everyone,
I hope the season finds you all healthy. I wanted to write a newsletter with some of the top remedies to help deal with stress. This time of the year and with all the cold/flus going around, these remedies may be needed now more than ever. I am taking a course right now on some of these remedies, and the Homeopathy who is teaching said right now, and into the future, most of these will be needed. And I have personally used all of these for different situations these past two/almost three years. They have allowed me to ground, feel more present and just feel. They do not numb the feeling, which I think is really important.
Aconite - super important remedy. For trauma. Having had a trauma happen to you and/or seen something. It can be used for now and for something that has happened in the past. It is also very good for anxiety and fear. I have personally used this one in a Mega potency with all the things that have gone on in the past year. I can't express the difference I feel after having taken this remedy.
Sepia - This is actually one of our number one female remedies in general. It is excellent for balancing the hormones. It helps with anxiety, stress, libido, frustration at anyone close to you. It is just a nice all around remedy.
Ignatia - Grief, sadness, anxiety. This remedy helps with these. It especially is helpful if you have grief about the way something turned out (it did not turn out the way you had hoped it to). This is one of the remedies that could possibly be used for what has happened the past two years. If you have grief, sadness (for no reason or if you have lost someone), and you feel that it was not the way you had hoped it was going to be, then this may be the remedy for you. It too is excellent taken in Mega potency.
Staphysagria - This remedy is excellent for victim mentality and for feeling exposed, vulnerable, and taken advantage of by authorities (yes, this is a good one for probably all of us!). This remedy will be used a lot now and into the future (along with Ledum for anyone who feels violated from getting jabbed).
Aurum metallicum - This is one of our excellent depression remedies especially if there is fatigue.
Nux vomica - For irritability, and for ailments from over indulgence (think food, wine, etc) this holiday season.
Gelsemium - Anticipatory anxiety. If you have to go to a doctor's appointment or meet up with someone whom you don't share a lot in common with and they "ruffle your feathers", this is excellent to take prophylactically as soon as you feel the symptoms coming on.
Lycopodium - For anxiety, lack of confidence, brain fog. And this is also a very good "bloating" remedy. If you feel bloated in your tummy and are experiencing edema anywhere in your body.
As I said above, I have tried all of these for varying reasons and each has given me a new insight into what I am feeling. Dosing, potency and frequency does depend on a few things.
I have my Cold, Cough and Flu kits ready for purchase. As well I do have a few Oscillococinum left (12 and 30 doses). The kits are $50, $80 and $125. They come with a booklet that explains what remedies are in the kit, how to use them and what they are for.
Have a lovely weekend!
