HOMEOPATHY is a system of medicine which is over 200 years old. Though it is constantly advancing with discovery of new remedies and methods of consultation, the basic principles have never changed. This indicates that at it's very foundation, it is a medicine that works! It is a science and an art. The science of homeopathy is well founded with research happening all over the world. The art is in the consultation, the ability of the practitioner to help you express the inner-most reason for your illness...

Recession Depression - Tuesday 28th of October 2008 02:01 PM

It looks like the financial crisis is a worldwide phenomenon, which probably doesn't surprise you.  It is part of the fact that we are such an interconnected world both physically and energetically.  I have noticed that so many people have so many different reactions to this new financial climate.  There is the underlying feeling of insecurity, the obvious one being "Will my money still be there when I need it?" or "Can I even get my money out of the bank?"  For those of us who have invested money in the market to save for the future, there will be a fear of the future, fear of poverty and basic fear for personal survival.  Not to mention a feeling of failure or disappointment that you have saved all that money and lost it anyway.   Of course that all sounds so dramatic, but it is a reality that many people are thinking about and worrying over.  These worries can lead to a frenzy of impulsive decisions about selling or moving money from bank to bank.  This gives a temporary relief to the panic, only to be reignited again when the papers and newscasts spell doom and gloom.  Occasionally I meet someone who is not worried in the least, just trusting that everything will work out.  If only we could all think this way!  Or is that just putting your head in the sand and hoping it will go away?  There needs to be a balance.

 It may seem crazy to suggest considering homeopathic treatment when your finances are feeling so insecure, but it could be money well spent.  Homeopathy really comes into it's own when there is a mental/emotional context on which to prescribe.  You probably know that physical symptoms can often be a manifestation of a mental worry or trauma, but sometimes this is not so obvious.  When we are worried, perhaps losing sleep because of it, there will be an underlying anxiety which takes its toll on the body, especially the adrenal glands.  Homeopathic remedies can help to bring things back into perspective and rebalance the energy in the body so you don't get ill. 

Let me give you an example.  Imagine a business man suffering from "stress" which manifests as anxiety  and acute depression.  He not only talks about feelings of hopelessness, but attributes this to his inability to control what is happening in his life.  This in turn makes him feel worthless, blaming himself for the position he is in now.  When pressed for details about what is going on in his life he reveals that he is worried his job may not continue for much longer.  This on top of the financial crisis in the world where he knows he has lost quite alot of his savings in the market.  (if he chooses to sell now)  This has created insecure feelings about the future which are preventing him from sleeping.  He feels weary but he cannot rest or if he does sleep it is filled with anxious dreams.  He says "it is as though the light has gone out of my life".  Of course, as the homeopath the alarm bells ring so he must be asked if he has considered anything as drastic as suicide.  He looks shocked, but then goes on to admit that the other day it did occur to him he could end his misery by jumping out the window of his tenth story office block.  The consultation continues and reveals other significant symptoms such as high blood pressure, rapid irregular pulse, bone pains with violent headaches caused by bone pain of the face, ulcerations in the nose and some incidences of vertigo.  All of these symptoms together with the mental picture point to one of our well known remedies called aurum.  This is potentised gold and is a constitutional remedy for people who are very motivated, high achievers.  These people do really well in life and are generally well liked, but they are very suseptible to depression if they have somehow "failed".

 Does that example give you an idea of what a homeopath might be looking for?  If you are feeling depressed and hopeless/despairing about what is going on in the world right now do consider seeing a professional homeopath.  Often a well chosen remedy will "bring the light back", change your perception of the situation, give you hope, relieve the physical symptoms and keep you off the antidepressants.
