Homeopathic remedy for panic attacks

Panic attacks, also known as anxiety attacks, are common in many people. They may be one-time occurrences but often they are repeated. Most often, they are connected with emotional problems, stress and trauma, as well as the remembering of a stressful event from the past. It is normal to be worried when under pressure or stress, but when anxiety is constant and affects normal living, relationships and activities, person may be suffering from an anxiety disorder.

Chronic anxiety disorders may significantly improve by treatment from a skilled homeopathy practitioner. Short episodes of brief anxiety may be treated at home, with the proper remedies.

Use of homeopathic remedies

Homeopathic remedies are always used with a mouth clean from drink, food, tobacco, toothpaste or mouthwash. It is important to allow the remedy to melt slowly in the mouth.

Patients should begin the treatment with 6-x potency and take two tablets every two to four hours contingent upon the severity of the illness.

Once the improvement shows, the patient should increase the intervals between dosages, and when it seems that improvement is making progress, the patient should stop the treatment. Using the remedy more than necessary may lead to recurring symptoms.
