Homeopathic Cures for Anxiety

Anxiety is experienced by everyone on occasion, but excessive anxiety can have a harmful effect on your quality of life, and it can be indicative of a generalized anxiety disorder. The disorder can occur in adults or children and is characterized by obsessive worry, restlessness, fatigue, concentration difficulties, irritability, trembling, sleep disturbances, nausea, sweating, diarrhea and respiratory difficulties. Excessive anxiety is a mental condition that can be attributed to an imbalance in neurotransmitters in your brain. Homeopathic treatments can improve your condition.

  1. Aconitum

    • In Household Homeopathy: A Safe and Effective Approach to Wellness for the Whole Family, Vincent McCabe explains that Aconitum can be used for treating anxiety related conditions.

Consume aconitum 30c, a medium potency remedy, by taking three to six tablets and dissolving them under your tongue three to four times daily to diminish anxiety related symptoms. Children can consume this remedy by taking one to three tablets one to two times daily for anxiety relief.
