Need for Anxiety management without pumping in chemicals
Anxiety management with drugs is among the largest pharmaceutical business in the world. Most of the management is done by pumping in chemicals in the body in daily doses. The chemicals have an immediate effect but almost permanent dependency and many adverse effects. How could one think of taking chemicals for life? There must be a way to health anxiety disorder without ingesting chemicals in the body. And, the way out is 'homeopathy'. Homeopathy has proven ways to manage anxiety with mild and gentle medicines without producing dependency and adverse effects.
A new concept in managing Anxiety using homeopathy
For years, anxiety is treated by the use of chemical-based drugs, which is often more addiction than treatment. If you are asked to take anti-anxiety, anti-depressant, or sleeping pills every twelve hours for months or years, your system gets used to it and becomes an addict. That is not at all a desired solution. There must be a way to treat anxiety by another approach. That is homeopathy. Homeopathy uses a very mild form of nano-particulate-based medicines that do not produce any addiction or adverse effects. Based on the principle of 'similarity', which may be broadly compared with the concept of vaccination, the drugs used in Homeopathy are those which have a capacity to induce effects similar to anxiety as an initial effect. However, as a secondary effect, the medicines produce relief from anxiety.
Also, the homeopathic approach entails an in-depth study of the causes of anxiety disorder and the medicines are selected on the basis of the cause as well as the totality of the individual who has the problem, rather than just the disease name. There are about twenty-five commonly used homeopathic medicines that are known to bring benefits to patients with anxiety-related disorders.
Homeopathic treatment in the management of anxiety and depression is very important and can certainly help millions of people avoid chemical-based medicine.
