Homeopathy for Fears and Phobias
Phobia is a persistent fear which is irrational. It can be of any object living, non-living or of a situation. It may or may not have any relation to an incident or a situation in one’s life. Generally, phobias are accompanied by a strong desire to avoid a particular situation or object one fears. It can also lead to an inability to function normally at job, home or at social settings.
A specific phobia is an intense fear of something that poses little or no actual danger. Grown up individuals who suffer from it, even though they realise that it is an irrational fear, try and avoid the fear factor. Whenever these individuals encounter this phobic stimulant, they get a severe anxiety attack.
Phobias can broadly be divided into three types: simple, social and agoraphobia (fear of public places).
Simple phobias: These phobias include a fear of: heights (acrophobia); enclosed spaces (claustrophobia); flying (pterygophobia); water (hydrophobia); dentists (odontiatophobia); tunnels; bridges; animals -lizards, snakes, rats etc. Fear of public places (agoraphobia) is the fear of the being alone in a place such as a mall or an elevator or a room full of people, and of there being no easy escape. This generally develops from an anticipatory fear of getting an acute anxiety attack (panic attacks) in a public place and generally occurs in patients suffering from panic attacks or acute anxiety disorder.
Social phobia: It is a strong fear involving the fear of social situations or gatherings, etc. Social phobia involves a combination of being too much conscious of self, a fear of public scrutiny or humiliation in social situations, and a fear of negative evaluation by others.
Homoeopathy and phobias
With hundreds of fears and specific medicines listed in homoeopathic repertory (books enlisting medicines against symptoms), an effective treatment of phobias is possible with homoeopathic medicines. Leave aside the common fears – lizards, heights, spider, snakes, cockroaches, mouse, etc- even if one dreads something not common, or not listed in books, homoeopathy has a way out. By studying one’s constitution (mental and physical characteristics, family history, etc.) a prescription can be made to effectively treat the specific uncommon fear.
If phobias are a part of other diseases such as chronic depressions, etc, they need to be evaluated and treated accordingly.
Relaxation
The most common forms of relaxation therapy are progressive muscle relaxation (learning to relax one’s muscles) and autogenic relaxation (using imagery to help one relax). Meditation such as yoga can be of great help.
Desensitising your fear
This therapy tries to alter your response to the feared object or situation. Measured, gradual, repeated exposure to the cause of the phobia may help one learn to conquer one’s fear
Behaviour therapy
Cognitive-behavioral therapy aims at altering one’s belief about the feared object or situation, the impact it has on ones life and also how one can view and cope with the feared object or situation differently.
give me some solution to manage stage fear…
I have social phobia i,e anxiety, depression, panic attacks etc
I have social phobia from 7 yrs i want to treat myself so please suggest me, i stay at Bangalore, so please give me necessary details
Hi There,
I have been treated with homeopathy of fear (dentist, flying, insomnia) full 6 months. No results or so ever.
I got some symptoms back during this treatment but I do not see any improvement at all. My homeopathy says it needs time. How much longer do I need to live like this? How do I know that I have been treated with medicine that is right for me? I know everybody is different but what would be the average that sees some results or improvement?
Thank you

I am 42 years of age and my wife is 40. We have been married for 15 years now. She has had this irrational behaviour towards menses since before marriage. She handles any an every item related to menses like CAT ‘A’ hazardous material!! If there is even a SUSPICION of any leakage or even a touch, she will treat it like most people would treat anthrax-contaminated clothes. She takes about 45 minutes to bathe during her menses since the whole process is extremely ritualized and and each step painstakingly carried out. For example, first the clothes will be taken off one by one and put into a bucket (the bucket being treated as a contaminated object) then the hands will be washed with soap atleast 4 times. Then the sanitary napkins will be removed, wrapped in newspaper and dropped into a plastic bag which is then wrapped and put into another bucket. Then the hands will be washed again 4 – 5 times. You get the idea. In contrast to this so-called “neatness”, the bathroom will not be washed except by her and, by all that is holy, I have never seen a bigger mess or somethng filthier than that bathroom and room.
In addition, she happens to be over-dependent on her mother and sister and will not take any action without their advice, even knowing fully well that the sister has her own axe to grind. Her conflict resolution skills are under-developed and, when opposed, her hysterical tantrums are the talk of the neighbourhood. She has even run out of the house during an argument, buck naked and screaming at the top of her voice!
And this has been going on for the last 15 years.
Please guide me as to what approach is likely to work since I am afraid that her behaviour and phobias are adversely affecting my 10-year old daughter, an only child.

Fears are mind symptoms which allopathy cannot understand,as mind itself is abstract term for allopaths,hence to cure mind symptom in allopathy will never be possible.we use two remedies for known fears and unkown fears they can be tried out by doctors and layman as they work only on mind and soul both are abstract things in anatomy.
known fears——mimulus unknown fears———-aspen.
