How we can help

Anxiety, Fears and Phobias

These can be both an emotional and a physical state. Subjective feelings can be apprehension and worry and these can manifest themselves in physical symptoms like increased pulse rate, clammy skin and disturbed sleep and appetite.

In most people anxiety prompts an action to counter the perceived threat. In this sense anxiety is helpful. But if anxiety becomes a permanent state, depression and other illnesses can set in.

A phobia is an acute disabling anxiety state attached to a certain object, animal or situation. Compulsions and obsessions are attempts to defuse anxiety.

Homeopathic medicine offers constitutional treatment where anxiety is chronic, but also a number of emergency remedies which can help in acute situations.
