Homeopathic Medicine for Anxiety

The theory of homeopathy was developed by a man named Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843). It was derived from the Greek words homoios (which means similar) and pathos (which means suffering).

This method of therapy is based on principles such as:

Like Cures Like - This is based on the idea that the same substance that can cause symptoms of a particular disease in a healthy person can also cure the symptoms in a sick person with that particular disease.

Extreme Dilution - Plant extracts (believe it or not, including poisonous ones) are approximately 99% diluted with water and/or alcohol. Doses are so small that they are safe and most effective in these tiny doses.

Although there are many different homeopathic remedies to choose from, there are some that are specifically used to help with stress, anxiety and depression.
