Homeopathy & the Treatment of Stress

Homeopathy & the Treatment of Stress

Homeopathic treatment measures the way that you experience stress mentally, emotionally and physically, as well taking into consideration medical, causative and family history factors. But how you think, feel and physically respond to stress will provide important information for case analyses and the selection of a homeopathic remedy.

No one person responds to stress in exactly same way. For example, the idea of public speaking can be stressful for many people, but the way each individual person experiences this will be different from one person to the next. One person’s predisposition might be to feel nauseous, dizzy and break into a sweat when speaking in public, whereas another person’s will be to anxiously stutter their way through the experience.
