Over 18% of the U.S. population lives with anxiety. That's one in every five people. We don't really need statistics to tell us that this is a much more prevalent issue today than it was in the past.  As homeopaths, we see people for anxiety regularly. 

Anxiety may be as subtle as worries or nightmares you keep to yourself or as troublesome as full-blown panic attacks. No matter the level of anxiety, the effects on your life are the same. You make different choices than you would have without the anxiety. Each time a different choice is made, your life is limited in some way that it wouldn't have been otherwise. Perhaps you travel less, perhaps you relax less in order to spend more time preparing or studying, or perhaps you try new things less than before.

As homeopaths, each person’s story and situation is unique.  We look at the entire person.  It is of interest to us what worries you have as well as what makes you worry more or what makes you worry less. 

Anxiety effects each person’s body differently too.  People may suffer digestion problems, muscle pain, headaches or many other ailments as the result of anxiety.  All of this comes together to indicate a correct remedy for an individual. As a person’s mental and emotional state shifts so that they are experiencing less anxiety/stress, then the body is able to heal the corresponding chronic physical complaints. 

You may explore homeopathy even while on Anti-Anxiety medications.  Most people still experience some anxiety even while on medications.  We can track your progress towards health with the remedies and when you feel better, you can discuss with your doctor weaning yourself from the medications.  Any changes in medications should always be discussed with your physician.

Homeopathy is about healing and bringing your life into balance so that you don’t need medications or even homeopathic remedies to stay in balance.

“My homeopathic remedy helps my fear and anxiety to dissipate while supporting my digestion.  The connection between my emotional and physical being feels strengthened through homeopathy.  This connection has a smooth groundedness to it...bringing a feeling of calm and well being within.” - Homeopathic Client, Woman

Homeopathy Story: “Worrying All Night”

Girl, 11 years old, Anxiety

“Before homeopathy, I could barely sleep. I worried about it all day long! At night, I would just sit there and think about how horrible it was that I couldn’t go to sleep, (and trust me, it worked, I wouldn’t fall asleep in till I got so tired of being sad, I just drifted off)

I also HATED thunderstorms!! (I still do!) But homeopathy also helped me on this! I’d worry about thunderstorms ALL the time!! Even when it was sunny!! (Or snowing!)

At first, seeing a homeopath seemed kind of scary! But after about 3 ½ minutes, I realized that she wasn’t going to bite or anything, so I had no reason to be scared!

At first, I thought remedy’s were magic or something, you know, suck on it and POOF, you fall asleep, but trust me, that’s not the case! For some people, it takes 2-3 days for the remedy to show, but for others, it takes 1-2 weeks!! (that would be me! )

Homeopathy has really helped me with my sleep problems and thunderstorm worries! At night, It still takes me a while to go to sleep, but I don’t worry about it all day anymore!! (actually, I don’t worry about it at all!)”
