Homeopathy and the Treatment of Grief
/
How can Homeopathy Help with Grief?
Homeopathy offers support with a wide range of remedies addressing various stages and experiences of grief. Finding the right remedy begins with a homeopathic consultation, where the totality of your experience and symptoms are taken into account.
Grief symptoms commonly include shock, numbness, sadness, anger, guilt and feeling isolated. Causations can include the loss of a loved one, being treated unfairly or unkindly, heartache from a failed relationship, financial loss, mortification and disappointment from deception. Homeopathy also considers your thoughts and feelings, as well as your sleep and dietary patterns, general health, responses to the environment, moderating factors and energy levels.
This is important because homeopathy is based on individualisation. For example some people carry grief silently and others will freely express anger and tearfulness. Some people will eat and drink excessively, whereas some people don’t feel hungry or have an aversion to alcohol. One person may feel the need to be alone in their grief, to relive certain events or to console themselves with sad music, while others actively suppress their grief and wish to avoid any reminder of what happened. Some people may feel the need to exercise during their grief, whereas others have no energy and feel exhausted.
Understanding what individualises your experience of grief underpins the remedy selection. There are numerous homepathic remedies reflecting different states of grief. Identifying your experience of grief at a mental, emotional and physical level is essential in order to find you the right remedy, which offers a solution to support and rebalance your mental, emotional and physical health.
