Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD refers to a state of uneasiness, being worried all the time and general fearfulness that impacts daily life activities. If these symptoms last for more than six months, it’s an indication of Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD). The symptoms include anxiety, worries about everyday things, restlessness, irritability, headache, trembling, palpitations, fatigue, hot flushes, sweating, frequent urination, difficulty in concentration, shortness of breath, difficulty in falling asleep and trouble swallowing food or a lump in throat.
The homeopathic mode of treatment is of great help for patients with generalized anxiety disorder. Homeopathic medicines can effectively manage symptoms of this disorder and gradually work to overcome this condition in the long run. The homeopathic medicines for generalised anxiety disorder provide natural treatment of anxiety as the medicines are sourced from natural substances. In the modern system of medicine, anti-anxiety medicines and antidepressants are used to treat generalised anxiety disorder. This may offer help on a short-term basis but does not permanently cure this condition. These medicines are also known to cause many side effects as well. Homeopathic medicines have zero side effects and heal this condition in a natural way.
Constitutional treatment
Homeopathic medicines for generalised anxiety disorder are prescribed as per constitution of the person, customized to suit his/her unique requirements. This means the medicines are selected based on the person’s emotional, psychological and physical make-up that makes their personality. These constitutional homeopathic remedies for generalised anxiety disorder go to the root of the problem and stimulate the body’s inbuilt healing mechanism to cure the condition in the most natural way. The results, however, vary from case to case as per the intensity of the problem. Whether the condition can be cured or only managed symptomatically depends on case severity.
Biphasic treatment
Homeopathy treats generalised anxiety disorder in two phases. In the initial phase, these medicines help to manage acute symptoms of this disorder. On getting a control over acute symptoms, the second phase of treatment is begun. The second phase treatment works at a deep psychological level to overcome this condition from its root. With a complete course of well-selected homeopathic remedies, most cases of generalised anxiety disorder having mild to moderate intensity recover entirely. In severe cases, help from conventional medicine should be taken, as homeopathy has its limitations in handling severe cases and its use is not recommended in such cases.
Safe medicines with no side effects
Homeopathy is a natural healing science to treat multiple health issues, including generalised anxiety disorder. Homeopathic medicines are entirely safe to use and do not cause any adverse effects in any case. Besides being safe, an additional advantage of using these medicines is that they never cause any dependency at all and can be easily stopped on achieving results.
