This week we'll take a look at 3 remedies that can be incredibly helpful at taking the edge off acute emotional episodes, allowing you to cope while processing whatever has taken place in your life. Please do bear in mind that these blog entries are based simply on the Helios Basic 18 kit and therefore we cannot cover the many, varied and very healing homeopathic remedies that apply in emotional situations, and which apply in addressing root causes of emotional upset.
Ignatia
Ignatia is the first remedy to think of for grief and for ailments that have come on since a bereavement such as a cough, a lump in the throat or sleeplessness. There can be extremes in the response of the person needing Ignatia, as they may be silent in their grief but also experience moments of hysteria. Generally there's a sense of the person being overwhelmed by their feelings. Please bear Ignatia in mind for lesser, though still traumatic times, such as broken relationships or career disappointments.
Gelsemium
This remedy applies after a shock or from hearing bad news, but is also a remedy where there's anticipatory anxiety. The person needing Gelsemium will shake or tremble with their fear, or be paralysed by it. This is a remedy for people who utterly dread the dentist, or who are terrified about their upcoming exam, and their fear is such that they might actually miss the ordeal rather than face it.
Aconite
Is a primary panic attack remedy. The person will feel terrified, and fear that they are going to die. They suffer tight-chested sensations and palpitations; their anguish is such that they cannot be still. Aconite works to great effect with Argentum Nitrate, a major anxiety remedy, for panic attacks.
