And greetings from Kenya everybody. Thanks for this opportunity for let me share my knowledge or universal knowledge with you. So I'm a naturopathic doctor and a psychotherapist practicing in Kenya. What I want to cover today is homeopathy, and it's used for trauma and anxiety. And I'll tell you why we have to cover trauma as well because that's often a root cause for anxiety. So let's look at what anxiety is right?

Usually it's a neurotransmitter deficiency either low serotonin or low Gabba and, of course, low other neurotransmitters so I often see a crossover between anxiety and depression. Other ways of addressing anxiety include addressing magnesium or amino acid deficiencies, B vitamin deficiencies, and some of these deficiencies come from either too much stress, a poor diet or inflammatory foods right your wheat, your dairy yours Soy etc. Some people's anxiety is triggered by high lactic acid levels. Not many people know this. And so the liver converts lactic acid back into glucose. And if the liver is stagnant stagnation according to Chinese medicine, just a poor functioning liver, then the conversion of lactic acid is not as efficient.

So generally people have high lactic acid levels, contributing to their anxiety as well. So of course, the treatment there will be liver support. So often known that a progesterone deficiency also contributes to anxiety, because progesterone improves the processing of GABA in the brain. And so progesterone deficiency could be coming from either medications, hormonal treatment, liver stagnation, again, all those sorts of things that affect your hormones. Other anxiety causes include medication side effects, including drugs, remnants of LSD and cannabis. I'll talk about that later.

And the other connection that we need to be aware of his leaky gut, liver, thyroid, adrenal connections, so if you have leaky gut inflammatory foods that causes inflammation throughout your body, which messes up your cortisol levels, and therefore suppresses GABA, serotonin, dopamine and melatonin, and all those neurotransmitters to help you feel good, all that toxicity also affects your liver, right so when your liver becomes inflamed or stagnant, it produces less bile. As bile means less detoxification, more constipation, and worsening of IBS or leaky gut. Therefore, inflammation gets worse. And anxiety will get worse. Also, when your liver becomes stagnant, then you get the hormonal imbalances, the progesterone deficiency, all this inflammation and the cortisol imbalance also affects the conversion of your thyroid hormone t four to T three contributing to mood disorders. And remember your liver converts about 60% of your teeth To t three so very important connection between your liver and your thyroid.

And now the last thing, of course, is the Juno system. When you have inflammation of course, your adrenal glands have to work harder to produce the cortisol and you get the cortisol imbalance therefore, serotonin, melatonin, dopamine and GABA imbalance. Now, the most important thing with the adrenal system is also shocking trauma. And that's what that's the main focus of today's lecture. Actually. If somebody goes through shock, or trauma, that could be divorce, financial issues, breakups, near death experiences, terrorist attacks, violence, of course, they go into fight or flight response.

And now that fight or flight response triggers the adrenal system. Unfortunately, if you don't process the trauma, the body remains in a subconscious state of fear and perception change. And that keeps the adrenal system out of balance and over Time people go into adrenal fatigue based on perpetual stress from the memory, as well as everyday stress. Right and then when you go into this state of adrenal stress, of course, you get the neurotransmitter imbalance. And the use of all our energy to cope with stress also creates a nutrient deficiency, therefore affecting the neurotransmitter imbalance. So there's many angles we need to think about when dealing with anxiety.

And today I want to really talk about homeopathy and it's used for anxiety. So like I said before, anxiety, depression, and emotional problems are triggered can be triggered by shock or trauma, which includes what we talked about sexual abuse breakups, etc. And I also want to bring to attention, parents fighting when the child is young and the principal in the home is not a safe environment. So the child is not developing a balanced physical geology from an early from an early age, and therefore later on in life, they are more prone to stress and anxiety because of the fragility of their system. What I love about homeopathy is one, of course. So homeopathy is a system of medicine where we take a substance from nature and dilute it multiple times.

So we capture the vibrational essence of a substance. Yeah, I don't want to go into the basics of homeopathy too much just because I want to cover a lot of different remedies and how to use homeopathy effectively. The beauty about homeopathy because it works at a vibrational level. We can use it to treat past trauma past shock. I'll teach you how to do that. Before we go into there, though, is something else called the constitutional remedy.

So homeopathy is based on the collective symptoms of a person. So one person's anxiety he might one person might be anxious that in the evenings and feels better if they drink warm water, or goes for a walk. Another person might feel more anxious when they wake up in the morning. And they're better if somebody controls them. So different people have different presentations of anxiety. And homeopathy takes those unique presentations into account.

And based on the collection of all the unique symptoms, we determine what remedy fits that picture. And that's why it's so effective. Before we go into the remedy pictures. I want to talk about how to use homeopathy for shock, right, because when you resolve shock, then the person's susceptibility to anxiety is highly reduced. So one way of using a homeopathic remedy homeopathic remedies for shock is to do it sequentially, dealing with the most recent events first. So somebody came in to to my office for anxiety and they just experienced a terrorist attack.

And this happened in Kenya A while ago. And rather than deal with their chronic anxiety that they had from childhood, I gave them a remedy for witnessing violence. And that was aconite. And I'll talk about aconite later. That helped them resolve the shock and trauma from the terrorist attack very fast and counseling them was much, much easier. Now in homeopathy, we use a book called cancer repertory.

That is a collection of different symptoms based on mind, the body and different parts of the body. And so in the mind chapter, it's called a rubric. In the mind chapter, there's a section called mind ailments from mind ailments from means problems with the mind, so anxiety, ailments, so like diseases, anxiety, depression, whatever, from different events in the person's life. So it's an amazing opportunity to actually deal with specific types of trauma Things that this record recovers our mind ailments from abuse. And we have remedies such as magnesia Oram, status agria mind ailments from sexual abuse, so you can't really specific. We have carcinomas indignation.

That's what makes our stuff saggy. So these are all different remedies we need to consider when somebody has a history of these different types of trauma. And we choose the remedies based on their presentation, the person's character and their behavior. Yeah, and what the experience at the time of shock. So I'll repeat myself here as on the next slide, actually. So we select the trauma remedy based on the symptoms of a person in the present moment, even though the shock happened a long time ago.

So they may be crying a lot. Then we think of remedies such as ignition or pulsatilla. If they're suicidal, we'll think of remedies such as Oram. If the numbers are stunned, just not responsive, then we think of remedies such as opium. If they feel very jealous, let's They were betrayed by a boyfriend or something like that. And rather than remorse, love jealousy and vindictiveness, a remedy that often comes up is a snake remedy called lucky says.

If they're very timid and unable to speak up for themselves, we look at a remedy such as stuffer, sangria, resentful, resentfulness. See, so you can see how different people will respond differently to shock and trauma. And then we address we use the remedy based on that unique presentation. And that's when homeopathy works really well, but it's very unique approach. The other way of selecting the trauma remedy, of course, is to ask them, How did you respond initially during the shock, and they might not remember and that's okay. Some people will remember they say I never forgave him.

It took me a long time to forgive the person and say I'm over it, which you can hear the resentment in their voice, right? So don't be fooled by their words. Listen to their tone of voice and choose the remedy. Accordingly, other homeopaths will use about four or five different remedies for the shock. So let's say somebody witnessed a terrorist attack. They were, they were anxious, they had a lot of palpitations, etc.

There was a lot of fear. That's an aconite state, they might also have been stunned and numb, and that's an OPM state. And so some homeopaths I know will actually give the person four or five different remedies based one week apart to cover all aspects of shock. And I've seen that work really well. Even though a lot of homeopaths would argue against it. They don't like that method.

But I've seen it work really well. And of course, if you're stuck on remedies, some people are very good at applied kinesiology or using the intuition or using the pendulum to test for the best remedy I've seen that work well as well. So let's look at other things that the repertory this book Cannes repertory covers in the mind elements from chapter is mind ailments from love disappointed breakups that Or even abandoned by by your mom or your dad. abandonment issues can be in love disappointed chapter we're looking at remedies such as Oram. So Oram is a remedy that has a lot of sense of failure, guilt, suicidal thoughts. Highest aim has a lot of anxiety, delusions, high sexuality, paranoia, ignition, as a lot of anxiety, cheerful sense of lump in the throat, the kisses, jealousy, resentment again, anger, that mirror a lot of crying weakness withdrawal.

So you can see if somebody has been abandoned by their partner or whatever, there's different ways they respond and based on that, of course, you choose a remedy. phosphoric acid is one of my best my favorite remedies for anxiety and depression was forecast acid is great if there's a lot of anxiety from a lot and a lot of stress. As symptoms, and I'll go through more details on the remedy was great remedy for burnout, burnout from overwork, and also from just being prone or obviously, going through a lot of emotional stress. And in that burnout state, they're just fragile, very anxious. So my name is from disappointment. Disappointment could be a significant event in a person's life failure for an exam etc.

So these are the different remedies to think about or magnesia licky says like a podium, Mercury nature muriatic, opium phosphoric acid positive and stuff a saggy. So the remedies I've listed here, and that's the short form of the remedies. And it's easy to find out the full name if you just Google them. monuments of friendship deceived, and you have a bunch of different remedies here. ailments from death of a loved one. So what I'd like you to get from this section of the lecture is if somebody walks into your office, look at their emotional history, what significant events have they gone through and What I do is get people to draw a timeline chart from birth till now and list down in time fashion in time order all the different events they've been through, and also write how they responded.

It gives me an idea of what's contributing to this present state of anxiety, which helps me select a good remedy homeopathic Lee and also work on the counseling using EMDR. So I'm a psychotherapist will use a lot of trauma work as well. Common combining that with homeopathy. elements from that news elements from site of an accident. This app seems to work very well. So some people respond with a lot of palpitations.

Some people will be completely stunned. There was one friend of mine who witnessed a motorbike accident and literally the guy's head got chopped off. And she witnessed that and she was she couldn't even speak you know, she was completely completely stunned. So that state of almost out of body experience. opium is a great remedy for that. elements from fright.

So something that is threatened the person's life. You're looking at aconite Argento. metrical Oram Bella Donna Costa comm Jill Semyon hire Samus ignatia calibre Martin. Now all these remedies are listed in the room in the rubrics in the repertory. So you don't have to remember all of these remedies Of course. The other remedies for fright include cases like a podium nature muriatic nuts, omega opium, phosphoric acid phosphorus positive silicones demonium.

So even though these remedies are listed here for fright Of course, in homeopathy, you can use these remedies for other things as well. Either emotional events, as well as physical problems such as asthma emphysema, these remedies will come up. So it's great to combine the full picture of a person and find out okay, which remedy covers all their symptoms. Other animals to think about for your patients include ailments from mental exertion so stress. Yeah. So the rapidly speaks in a very old fashioned language is quite fun to read actually.

So somebody is really stressed burnt out uses a lot of the energy. Look at Kalki area for for spiricom. Cooper from Jill Semyon Kelly IO data Kelly FOSS, great remedy for burnout Kelly FOSS, we'll talk about that later. Maxwell make an amazing, amazing remedy for stress as well as great liver support actually and we'll talk about that later as well. phosphoric acid, uric acid all the acids a great burnout remedies so think about the acid remedies when somebody's completely completely worn out. And in a weakened state, Stafford sangria tuberculin them again good remedies for mental illness from mental exertion.

The other elements include ms from failure, elements from business failure and ambitions disappointed Can you see how there's many different ways there's many different versions of the same type of failure Right. So they will be different, what we call rubrics, many, many sentences or sections that you can use. And you might get confused on which ones to use. And what I do is I look at all of them. So if somebody has a business failure or got cheated or something like that, and they lost a lot of money, I will use all of these remedy rubrics. So I'll use the elements from business failure, elements of failure, and ambitious disappointed and I'll see what's the most common remedy in all of these rubrics and it might be Knoxville Mecca, or it might be Oram.

And then, once I've narrowed down to three different remedies, I'll say okay, now, how is this patient presenting? Yeah, are they feeling a lot of guilt or they're suicidal? Then I'll say okay, arms the best picture, but if one doesn't work well think okay, maybe the stress the extreme stress they went to need to be resolved. First, so might give them knucks. Omega first removes some of the layers of stress, and then give them more on later for the suicidal feelings. That's also a possibility.

Other elements from include elements from discord between parents. This I've seen work wonderfully for anxiety as well as the case of xima actually. So, patient came in with, with eczema and I said, When did it start and started when she was eight years old. And what was happening around that time in your life I asked her, which is, well, you know, my dad cheated on my mom, there's a lot of problems, etc, etc. And so, there was issues going on in her life that affected her. Yeah, there was issues between the parents that were affecting her, and I gave her a good fight ease.

Because good fight is one of the remedies needed for ailments from discord between parents and that helped her xima wonderfully Almost from too much domination by parents Yeah, the parents are what do you call it controlling the child too much. actually have one patient right now. And Carson Olson helped a lot. You know, he felt a sense of over responsibility, too many things in his life and was feeling rebellious, he had to drink too much, etc. And he was stuttering when he came into the, into the clinic, literally, and he couldn't cope with social scenes, sweaty palms, etc. very weak nature and carcinoma and created a huge shift.

And so we'll talk about the different approaches like the different experiences with anxiety, some is anticipatory anxiety, so you know the anxiety before an exam or giving a lecture, etc. And then there's other forms of anxiety, which are like chronic anxiety, lack of confidence, continuous state of fear. So those are the other things that we need to look at elements from alcoholism. We have Agaricus our cynic on Kalka Bonnie, come look He says that Swami opium was forecasted himself. Great. So that was the section on the different rubrics now all the different types of trauma person may have in their life and the different remedies you can consider.

Now, let us go through the specifics of different remedies. And so you get a clearer picture of when to use them. So the first remedy is aconite. aconite, is probably one of the best remedies for shock. It's used by almost every single homeopath out there. This type of shark is the one that threatens the person's life.

Yeah, it can be robbers it can be accidents, terrorist attacks, etc. Now the presentation of somebody in the aconite state, a lot of fear, trembling, restlessness, palpitations, breathlessness, sense of suffocation, yeah, so there's lots of things it there are chest symptoms as well as somebody who suffers from insulin Nia, consider aconite. Really good remedy for insomnia. The aconite person often has a fear of death and will have a fear of flights as well claustrophobia. And claustrophobia could present as a fear of subways or at being in an elevator. And that will not show up in the room in the repertory necessarily, right won't say fear elevators.

But somebody who comes in with a fear of elevators or subways, use the the rubric of the term claustrophobia. I've used aconite a lot for panic attacks where there is palpitations and breathlessness. Sometimes now because of the fragile state, they'll have a state of anger they're in a volatile state. So they might suddenly just get very angry with the family members etc. Or with a therapist as well saying I can't handle this anymore. The other thing with aconite because they're in such a fragile state, they're very sensitive to pain.

And that comes that brings to mind the amino acid fenny alanine, which is also we use in in for anxiety. When somebody is in a lot of emotional being way, it's like the pain is the link the painkiller either emotional or physical pain in terms of amino acids are cynical album. Another great remedy for chronic anxiety. The cynical person often has a chronic fear of the illness of robbers, something bad happening to them or their family members. They have a sense of losing control, strong fear of death, as well. And now I've also used this for OCD.

Yeah, obsessive compulsive disorder, as well as of course tired support and other other leaky gut remedies. I'll use our synonym album with good results for OCD. For our silicum The fear is often when they're alone and worse in the evenings or at night. So they have this also this fear of being alone because the anxiety comes up more. In terms of the OCD picture, they often tidy people, and they have a fear of germs and illness and contamination. And some of the cynical people will collect things a lot.

So think about that as well. When somebody has OCD, think about our synonym as a very good remedy. Like other remedies, people who are in a fragile state, they can be quite irritable and criticize others. Just out of that fragile state here. And that sense of lack of control, even though it's not listed, in many books, I've used our Steadicam, probably two or three times for somebody who self harms somebody was cutting their own arms. And I think in the repertory, you'll find it under the rubric, mutilation, mind cutting mind cutting or self mutilation or gentle nature come cane, not often used but it is a good remedy for anxiety.

Somebody who feels rushed easily feels hurried has to get things done and feels does not have Enough time, so they might speak in a rush. Hopefully I'm not in argenta, nitric and state right now. Now they'll have a fear of many, many things. Fear of bridges of heights of health issues and closed places. And this chronic fear might exhibit as OCD as well. You might think, Oh gosh, this person has OCD, because they're constantly trying to control their environment.

The agentive magic of a typical picture of them as they're prone to diarrhea, as well as palpitations, loose stools. So especially when they're anxious, they need to go to the toilet. Think about argenta nitric in there. Their stress causes a craving for sweets, and salty snacks as well. And that's typical in adrenal fatigue, right if somebody is very stressed and they need sugar to keep them going, and so they'll be prone to binge eating. And similar to other remedies, we'll talk about GSM.

Unlike a podium, they can have anticipate what we call anticipatory anxiety. Things it before lecturing, giving a talk in public or before an exam going to the dentist. Think about argenta metric as well, or metallic gum. So most commonly used for depression I've included in the anxiety lecture today, because I see crossover between depression anxiety and with the suicidal feeling. There is a lot of anxiety for many people. The sense of loneliness, worthlessness sense of failure, especially after a huge loss or fail expectation so Oram is homeopathic gold, and you know, gold is all about worthiness.

So, like, how do I say height, we call it a height, so, achieving a high position in a career etc. When they fail, they have fallen, big time and they cannot deal with their failure. And because of that, they tend towards suicide or suicidal thoughts. They go through a lot of shame, a lot of guilt, regret, self Blame, they cannot deal with their failure. Now, because in this state they're so vulnerable and afraid of looking bad or feeling bad. They are very, very sensitive to criticism.

And they fear being useless. They don't appeal worthless because they've been in a state of gold before. Yeah. And I've often seen that people who need or, or people who pray a lot excessively because of some obsession or fear or paranoia, or helps them as well. Qalqilya, carbonic, some great remedy again for chronic anxiety. Very good for people who are over responsible work a lot have taken on too many tasks.

Character bonica is the remedy for insecurity. So the person will worry about their health a lot. Future. So things like job and wealth, that's all anything that gives them a sense of security. They might have a fear, and I say might because remember, these fears are not always present for people. They might have some other things fears and it might not.

It does not mean that they don't need the remedy. So they might have a fear of heights, rats, insects, that and dogs. Like I said before the Carioca bonica person is somebody who works a lot very responsible. They take on too much work and they burn out fast. Now, a lot of the hard work is based on trying to be secure in life. Yeah.

Which is different from that for me who was very ambitious, different driving forces here. We'll talk about next omega later. So the Kalki Erica bonica good remedy for the burnout state. And then the burnout state there were a lot of depression, confusion, crying easily. So if somebody comes to you in the visit, and they talk about their problems, and they start crying because they're so overwhelmed, think about calculate Gabbana comm seen it work wonders, and have a few of the health in the future. And the problem is when the health is going down.

They feel more threatened because how can I deal with the future? How can I Secure the wealth, my wealth, etc. If I'm not well enough, right, and so they get more and more insecure. They can have a fear of losing their minds and going crazy, which is similar to another Bach flower remedy we'll talk about later in the depressed state. So if the switch between anxiety, depression or they're coming to you with depression, they'll have some self pity going on melon, Kundalini tearfulness in slow thinking. So think of it just brain fog state.

Yeah. Now they're burnt out. So the adrenal system is down, their boundaries are off, so they become more sensitive to bad news. They have difficulty hearing things about bad here. They have difficulty hearing about bad things happening to people or bad news. They absorb too much information and they get overwhelmed with that.

Physically, they might be very chilly. So look at their physical state as well called limbs feeling cold easily, and that's a low adrenal state, low thyroid state as well. And when I have an accurate picture Who needs count Cara Kibana Comm. I often think of the amino acid Gabba as well, because GABA is excellent to deal with anxiety, especially when there's a lot of overwhelm feelings and burnt out. I see was offered often across all the symptoms between GABA and Kalka bonica. Now GABA is not I'm not seeing the homeopathic Gabba, I'm seeing the amino acid gap.

I don't to confuse anyone here. So we often use amino acids to deal with anxiety as well. Now, drugs, ailments from drug use, some people who have used a lot of cannabis, a lot of LSD, MDMA, etc. will have After Effects even 1020 years down down the road. And if somebody comes into your office with a strong history of drug use, I think homeopathy is the only thing that really detoxifies the body well from the energetic, energetic effects of drugs, and there's remedies made out of drugs with homeopathy. LSD, this homeopathic cannabis.

I actually, I actually took a lot of different substances during my university days. And the remedy that helped me a lot was homeopathic. homeopathic version. One of the remedy that helped me a lot was LSD. And because there was a sense of audio perception, no constant sense of reality. Now, there was a continuous shifting of my perception, nothing was, I think, felt grounded.

The remedy given to me was LSD 200 see everyday for three days. And fantastic work amazingly well. So I can speak from personal experience on the drug remedies detoxifying the energetic effects of drugs. I've used homeopathic cannabis indica, on both three to five patients who have had a history of drug use. And there's in a state of indecision, sometimes delusional thoughts or uncertainty about reality etc. That, that state of unreal this cannabis Indigo works really well.

Internationally. So these drugs have codenames and well cannabis is just cn N dash I or ca n n dash so cannabis indica and cannabis sativa LSD is sold as Lucy Liu see why cocaine is just CEO. So when you detoxify the drugs, of course the body becomes more resilient. And the neurotransmitters come into balance and doing any other therapies works much better. Just send me a great remedy for shock. And for anticipation anxiety.

Yeah, anticipation means waiting for exam before an exam, dental surgery, a dental visit, sorry, or giving a talk. So it's performance anxiety. When it's the state of shock the person the typical picture is they're paralyzed. They're confused. They cannot think, yeah, it's paralyzed. by fear and think paralysis, do semi monsters that picture of weakness.

So they might have the trembling limbs or exhausted dull feeling as well. So think for somebody who has a bad flu. In fact, when somebody comes in with a bad flu and they have a lot of weakness, she'll send him as a good remedy for that flu as well. Other physical symptoms that the gel Semyon person might exhibit include stuttering, trembling, and they might have they might not be able to cry easily. Just they cannot express themselves. Well.

The interesting thing I've seen with Jill Semyon is frequent urination and diarrhea possibly there's a lot of letting go of their fluids, right. So think of a weak state, somebody cannot hold on to things. interesting picture of scene. We just send him his frequent urination. And many people can relate to that when they pee a lot. If they're anxious, right?

Sometimes the ping does relieve the anxiety. They might also have a sense of diarrhea so a lot of weakness and letting go and urination kidney yin and yang deficiency, if you think in GCM, Ignatius beautiful remedy for breakups and rejection, you know, heartbreak fantastic remedy alongside with nature muriatic great remedy for shock as well. There's a mixture of anxiety and depression and fear. And so shock, heartbreak, rejection, humiliation, and also business stress or use ignition for somebody who has gone through a lot of shock in their business or got cheated in business. The ignorant person will often hold their tears back keeping their feelings inside, especially when they're around people. And then when they're alone, they'll cry a lot.

And they'll often because they keep the feelings inside will often have the sense of a lump in their throat. As a typical Ignatius symptom, a sense of lump in the throat or sense of shoulder Or they're yawning a lot, they might be saying a lot. Think about ignition. Because they're holding the feelings inside a lot. They might appear timid yet because they're, they're down in the dumps. At the same time, be careful because they can get angry because of their fragile state.

They'll defend themselves very fast. They don't like being contradicted by anyone. Because imagine they're so vulnerable inside, they're holding so much inside. So the moment somebody contradicts them, it brings up their shame, it brings up their memory of the rejection etc. So don't think Ignatius only for weak people. That's the mistake a lot of people make is thinking certain remedies for anxiety or for people who are not irritable, but they can be crossover between anxiety and irritability.

Kelly FOSS one of the best remedies for nervous exhaustion so there's many this phosphoric acid as well. Kelly forces for somebody who's worked overwork themselves or suffered and a lot of things tenuous emotional stress. So along divorce, working in the Congo, I had one patient they were working in, in the Congo for a long time. And she had been kidnapped by terrorists, or by the gorillas, and not the animal gorillas, right? The terrorists guerrillas, and she saw like, they didn't hurt her. But of course, she she went through Long, long times of stress with them, right.

So there was a state of burnout. And in the state of burnout, the people lose confidence. And because of that, they get more often because they cannot perform their tasks, and they're going through some nervousness and depression. So this patient why chose California because I went through different remedies. And califor seem to work the best because her unique symptoms were a sense of wrongness of the nerves. She couldn't sleep well.

In a lot of insomnia jumping easily with small noises and that's a typically typical Cally FOSS symptom is being startled easily by light or noise. Great remedy for insomnia due to emotional stress and burnout. So somebody who you think should be very tired because they burnt out, but they cannot sleep because the quarter the levels are out, give Kelly FOSS I give it in low dose. If they're just burnt out, I give Sally FOSS 30 c one to three times a day, which will help manage cortisol levels and if there's a significant freakin shock, of course, I'll give it 200 C or higher dose to help resolve the shock of course in the califor state, very important to support the adrenal system either with B vitamins or adrenal Herbes, such as ashwagandha rhodiola astragalus. And it's a Trojan saying some people in the California State because they wrote Notice overall, if you give them B vitamins, they might aggravate, they might feel too wired.

Right? So maybe do some body therapy, acupuncture or do the Cali FOSS for a while to calm the nervous system down and then introduce the B vitamins later on. Like the podium. Big, big remedy for lack of confidence. Yeah, a lot of fear, anticipation, anxiety as well. Few public speaking, because of their lack of confidence.

And there is also a sense of indecision for some like Napoleon patience. decision can be a state of anxiety for people. It's not only fear. It could be a fear of making decisions or just inability to make a decision. Like a podium person typically has a sense of inferiority or shy, few public speaking a lot. And they fear taking on new things, new tasks, because they're not familiar with it.

Yeah. So they don't want to look bad. They don't want to feel inferior. A lack of confidence. So they might not try new things. They are intimidated by people, especially more confident people are more successful people.

So they might avoid crowds of people because they don't interact with these people. But the funny thing is that they also don't want to be alone. And they need that comfort. They need 4 million people around them to feel secure to feel that strength, even though it appears like a weak remedy that like a podium person can be quite rude and aggressive. And they're not very sensitive to other people's feelings. And I think this is more of a self protection, way to look dominant because of that underlying insecure feeling.

So you might see them become very irritable, having outbursts of anger, and now when I see that picture, I also think about the liver in general of Chinese medicine. Yeah. And Funny enough, like podium is one of the best remedies for liver detoxification. If you have somebody with PMS and There's a lot of anxiety or depression with PMS because PMS is connected to the liver. And they might have a lot of gas and bloating and their symptoms are worse with hunger. That's the typical Lego podium picture.

So very strong action on the liver and great remedy for emotions. Knox Veronica beautiful remedy for the liver and great remedy for stress. Now, not to vomit is also excellent for constipation, because remember, constipation is often due to a lack of bile flow so less lubrication can also be due to obstruction etc in low peristalsis. But you know a lot of people make the mistake of giving laxatives to people with constipation, treat the liver first. And I found the best best results by treating the liver and get the bile moving so not too long ago can have a mixture of sense symptoms of anxiety, depression, irritability, again, you're looking at a liver picture a very aggressive person, very impatient person as well. can be very impatient with people who can't keep up with what they're doing.

They get upset, easily angry easily with business with issues and also there's a bit of an OCD picture of if things are not in their proper place, things are not tidy, and it's more about efficiency. So think about somebody who's a workaholic, competitive etc, wants things in a proper place here. And similar to like a podium, they can be quite rude. And they don't like to be contradicted. So egotistical remedy hard working, ambitious, competitive and workaholics typically, not all the time but can be. And now remember, the character of the person doesn't have to be doesn't have to have all these symptoms.

Yeah. They could have just gone through a lot of stress in life and worked hard and considered not too long ago as one of the rents due to distressed them and then work on the rest of the After phosphorus beautiful remedy again for the liver, and for anxiety the phosphorus person has a fear of being alone fear of the dark and fear of thunderstorms, although some of them will like thunderstorms as well. phosphorus generally is a very social person bubbly, happy when they do get anxious, that fear of their health something bad happening as well. And phosphorus is a very sensitive person, people's person so they're very strong empaths so the few people's emotions a lot and they'll absorb people's energy. And because of this sensitivity, they're easily disturbed by bad things happening to other people. And which you see in Calgary Kobani COMM And also in our silicon, the wondering about other people's problems, as significant as phosphorus also has that and somebody who was burnt out by taking care of a lot of people, you know, because they absorbed so much.

Think about phosphorus. As well, or in somebody who if you're driving along the street and they see somebody begging or somebody suffering on the side of the road and they really want to help them or they feel very anxious to cannot help somebody that could be a foster state as well. Interestingly, phosphorus, people can be quite easily to do therapy with psychotherapy, because they're easily consoled and some people will judge it or term it as being gullible, which is okay. So gullible people as well and bright in a sense, think about phosphorus also phosphoric acid. One of my favorite remedies, like I said for burnout, either anxiety or depression due to emotional stress, and can also be due to betrayal relationship breakups and working too much in the burnt out state. The phosphoric acid person becomes quite indifferent, apathetic, especially to things that they used to enjoy before and also apathetic family members.

These sentences are almost like a withdrawal or lack of lack of excitement with family people. And now what happens is, they find it difficult to communicate in a very bad state in a very bad phosphoric acid state. Somebody who cannot communicate clearly and the memories gone a lot of poor concentration and fatigue. Think about giving phosphoric acid can really help them recover. And very interesting. What I found is people who have gone through shock and trauma or a lot of grief, they've lost a loved one and their hair turns white or gray or they lose a lot of hair.

For gas It is a good remedy to consider in this case for hair loss etc. Or give a lower dose of the after. So like a 30 C or 12 C and give it frequently every day for a long while until we see some hair growth or just improvement of symptoms. Problem with and if there's a recent shock, they don't give it 200 see a higher dose to release the shock and trauma and the betrayal. See, the problem is if I give a 200 year high dose too much to a person, they'll aggravate and they'll they'll get more anxious because they'll get the symptoms of what the phosphoric acid is trying to cure. The other thing was folic acid can be used for relationship breakups and where somebody has is experiencing impotence.

And so basically poor erections, either form too much overwork, and also from being betrayed. So give forecasted for that as well. So that brings up a good point is also look at the physical symptoms a person has alongside with their anxiety and don't only focus on their mental symptoms, because the physical physical symptoms will give an indication of the better remedy for them. pulsatilla Another very common remedy used for anxiety and depression. Because the deal is often a needy person, they need to be consoled the love between the cry a lot and they feel better after crying or being consoled, taken care of. And in their visit, it might appear they need you or often or they're very dependent on the therapist, and they're crying a lot in the visit.

They might even clingy or whining. Somebody who complains a lot. Think about pulsatilla. Positive people not always the case, but often will feel better with fresh air. We might take this for granted thinking everyone feels better with fresh it's not always the case. Somebody feels better with fresh air conditioning feels a significant relief in their symptom.

Think about pulsatilla CPR, wonderful remedy for women's problems, menstrual issues. And I've used it often for anxiety or depression. After somebody is taking the birth control pill In a good remedy to detoxify somebody from the birth control pill, I'll typically use it in somebody who has emotional symptoms alongside with hormonal issues. Great remedy for people also who are burnt out really from overwork. And the typical terminology people use is the word because it's mostly female remedy. People say is the burnt out woman from overwork from the care of the kids too much being neglected by the partner.

In the burnt out state CPR can become apathetic or resentful towards family members, especially their partner. And they prefer to be left alone. If somebody consoles them, they can get quite irritated, which is opposite of positive. So some of you might be thinking, of course we all love to be consoled. But there are some remedies or people who don't like to be consoled. So CP to think about xiety hormone issues and irritability, silica similar to like a podium, fragile state, lack of self confidence and the fear of doing new things and fear of public speaking as well.

Silica is less irritable than like a podium. And silica likes simple thing. So it's a fragile person. They might even have fragile nails hair falling out easily also, poor digestion, constipation. They might look weak and then the silica person similar to calculate Gabbana comm they worried about failure. So we stress a lot the work too much because of fear of failure, which is different from the next lawmaker state.

Yeah, the next woman or person will work a lot because they love success. They're ambitious, etc. So it was more about security and worrying about failure. It's not always the case but silica is often indicate for people who look emaciated. Like I said, brittle nails falling out here. And silica people might be constipated.

So if somebody comes in for just a chronic constipation or if you have a person who's prone to constipation, and not long ago is not working whether the liver remedies are not working well think about silica. And silica is also good for expelling foreign objects from the body, trapped nose from grenades, etc. And it's good to help me eliminate those. Although Be careful because I've had some people who've had objects lying in their body and then the body tries to eliminate it. And it does cause some internal bleeding. stuff is agria.

Good remedy for anxiety and depression as well. And there's a lot of shame somebody who suffer from a lot of shame, and somebody who lacks confidence. But Steph is always more timid than like a podium. very timid, and pleasing person. That's my experience. Some people will see staff as aggro people being irritable and that's often because the to suppress their anger, especially if they've been humiliated, they don't have a way of expressing themselves or standing up for themselves.

So they shut down. And because of that shutdown state, they might go through depression. And so think about when you're doing that person's history, where they're humiliated or criticize too much by their parent. Or remember that rubric, I said elements from disappointment. Use that rubric and to find out if the person needs a sangria. Because of this bottling up of emotions, of course, they're very sensitive to criticism.

And of course, it reinforces their low confidence because they don't believe in themselves. So me criticizing them who've done for because there's no sense of that self isn't there's no way to reassure themselves. I had a case we'll just go to a brief case study here 34 year old male came in a very successful businessman, but you know, expected to be a bit more confident now again, but very soon pleasing behavior like he was. I couldn't understand why he was trying to please me. Yeah. And he came to me worried about life and things are going on in his life, even though he's very successful.

But you know, after a while, we found out that he'd been bullied and things like that as a child, but it was hard for him to express that because there was a lot of shame around those events. And so thinking a lack of confidence to use like a podium or staff or sangria, and I got much better results with a sangria. With him, I chose a low dose 30 C, instead of a 200 c because it seemed like a chronic chronic condition from childhood. And I didn't find it was a significant trauma in his life. It was just a state of being even though he was bullied. So 30 c generally, every day worked really well for him.

Simonian So simonian strong, strong remedy. demonium is a good remedy for high states of anxiety, a lot of paranoia, delusional feelings, feeling forsaken alone abandoned. That could be violent behavior. I had a child who was left in an orphanage and then adopted by the grandmother. I think she'd experienced some sort of sexual exposure, the young child, very violent child, a lot of anger, uncontrollable child, and simonian created a huge shift for her. She never got fully better.

She left the country and had to go into home. But I remember the best friend the best results we had with this child were with simonian. Now because so they might appear, how do I say this? Um, they might complain that they need to control themselves a lot and they they have a tendency to strike out be violent. That volatile state, they might have a lot of delusions, sense of something watching them, or they might see angry faces in their mind as we think about simonian for that delusional state. In the same values family as Timonium, we have the remedy highest amis great remedy also for that was delusions and paranoia.

And both of them have a remedy like symptom fear of the dark. But higher summons is less aggressive and there's a lot of sexuality, maybe tendency, take off the claws or touch themselves, expose their private parts. Then I'll think more of the remedy higher salmons rather than ceremonial. Let's briefly go through some liver remedies I've covered most of them. Why is the liver related to anxiety? So in Chinese medicine, we call the liver the master organ, right?

And it's the master one because it controls your hormones, glucose stores, detoxification And when livers stagnant basically it's not detoxifying well enough so we have more toxicity in the body, more cortisol imbalance and when you have the Corazon imbalance you suppress melatonin gamma dopamine and serotonin right? And of course we poor digestion, the environment in the gut. And so how does it with less bile flowing, you have poor digestion and you have more dysbiosis right the environment in your gut is not is not healthy. And now we now know that a lot of neurotransmitters serotonin, GABA, etc, are created in the gut. So if you have a poor gut environment dysbiosis unhealthy microbiome, then levels of neurotransmitters will be unhealthy. And of course, with more gas and bloating and intestinal damage, we get worsening of leaky gut and worsening inflammation.

And also, like I said before, last lactic acids have been correlated with high levels of anxiety. And your liver is responsible for converting lactic acid back to glucose. So if we have liver stagnation, and now remember these, when they go for normal Western medicine blood test for liver enzymes might appear normal. But as a trained practitioner, of course, if you're training Chinese medicine, and generally herbal medicine will know that the liver needs support. So, if they have a stagnant liver, they will convert and they'll convert less of lactic acid back into glucose. And so high levels of lactic acid will perpetuate their anxiety.

Now what might cause liver toxicity? Do they have a history of alcohol abuse too much medication? Right. And of course if they have PMS, you know that their livers out of balance that thing of liberal remedies here. Inflammation makes the liver toxic or stagnant. If somebody is stressed, stress people will be more prone to heartburn.

And why is that because the livers affected. Now in a Western explanation one can say when somebody's stressed, they are shallow breathing. Yeah, breathing very shallowly. And that's where people get tight shoulders because they're using the upper muscles only for breathing and they're not breathing with your diaphragm too well, they're not doing that long deep breaths with a diaphragm goes down and massages the liver. So you can see how the diaphragm long deep breathing can help massage the liver and improve liver function. Different remedies for the liver.

I've covered most of them here. Like a podium. The picture we typically see is bloating after eating, heartburn, pain, and emotional anxiety gets worse when they're hungry. Not forming a great remedy when there's constipation, irritability, a lot of stress and sense of discomfort or cramping with eating with food, phosphorus, in the liver when the livers quite stagnant, they have a sense of that food coming up with after eating that belching sour belching, because ice creams, cold drinks and refreshing, refreshing juices. Caledonian another great remedy for the liver is strongly liver problems. You'll find pain in the liver area behind the shoulder, the right shoulder typically, jelly doughnut is great for jaundice for weakness, distended abdomen, again, constipation also and sometimes vomiting.

I haven't listed here but Carbo vegetal is also good remedy for deliver great remedy for societies, societies due to albumin issues etc. because of poor liver function. Now on the market, there's many companies that make combination remedy so they combined two or three different remedies in a bottle and the remedy is specific for different organs. Under remedies such as 120 and 243 are great for liver function and record x, r seven and R 31. So I'll go through one of the case studies have I mentioned her before she was in a terrorist attack she wore she wants grenades, blowing up people, etc. Very, very difficult case.

Sleepless nights, had palpitations you were shaking. You know, she was completely stunned and we did psychotherapy. And interestingly enough, after releasing some emotions, that evening, she was vomiting because all the emotions are coming up. Yeah. I can night because it was a very recent attack. I can I do 100 see, every day for five days.

And what really well, now that I told you repeat the next week, I like to give a break in between when I'm giving a high dose of a remedy. Just let the body self correct And then I can monitor the person see how is the remedy affecting this person. Because if you give a high remedy to for for too long, the person can get the symptoms of what the remedy is trying to cure. I try to minimize aggravation time by taking a break. And of course, we combined we combined psychotherapy with with the homeopathy. With her.

I wasn't focusing so much on the adrenal system, of course, because the shock was very recent. And the anxiety was due to an attack compared to the second case here, doctor about her before she was working, Congo, Sudan, Somalia, so very stressful environments. And she came in with anxiety, insomnia, jumping easily with noises, etc. So she was completely burnt out was kidnapped, etc. So a lot went through a lot of adrenal issues. Just for the sake of teaching.

I did rule Out perimenopause causing the sleep issues because I often see insomnia due to menopausal symptoms. I didn't treat her per se for an acute shock. I also took time to heal the gut, stabilize the adrenal system because she was in a burnt out state and I use rhodiola there. Now I thought maybe aconitum Agnieszka would work with you well, because she was kidnapped and, and we see them often in the rubric elements from fright. or anxiety did reduce but insomnia and sensitivity noises do not work. And the best results I got were with Cali fires.

The thing is, I started with a low dose because I thought that's a long term problem and go with 30 c daily. But we didn't get long lasting results. You know, there was reduction in everything but not long lasting. And the remedy that worked well was in the same room you put in a higher dose. So sometimes you'd have to experiment start with a low dose first and then go higher dose before changing the remedy to see if the remedies really working or not. Green those are your homeopathic remedies.

Let's go to bat flowers now buy flowers are similar they are termed in the same category as homeopathic remedies because we work on the essence, the essence of a plant. There's about 33 different Bach flower remedies and different buy flowers for different unique emotional symptoms. You can have about flower for feelings of guilt or anxiety, jealousy, anger, irritability. longing for the past or buffalo remedies for shock as well. Sometimes it takes me a while to find the best remedy homeopathic remedy for a person and I'll often use Bach flowers to help the person calm down the nervous system. While I'm while I'm trying out different homeopathic remedies.

We can use about five different bath flowers. I tend to see a maximum of five different buffalo remedies at the same time for a person. Ideally you only want to use one or two but sometimes In a cover many different symptoms all together. So you combine up to five remedies. And what do I mean by that? So each remedy has their own unique set of symptoms.

And so of course a person will not only present with one way yeah 111 state of being, they'll have their fears that have irritability, etc. So find the best remedies for them. Let's go through these different remedies. Agra money accumulates to people who pretend that everything's okay. They put on a brave face, cheerful face, like everything's going on. But underneath they have a lot of emotional difficulties happening.

And they're likely distressed and anxious inside. I got many people. I had one person who pretends everything's okay but uses a lot of cocaine and other drugs and alcohol to go Life. So you can use Agra money in in addictions you can help. Only problem is now with alcohol addiction. So the buffalo remedies are in alcohol most of them are an alcohol based so be careful about that.

Find a glycerin base or tablet form. Aspirin, good for rim, good remedy for people who are nervous and anxious and have a sense of dread apprehension. But they don't know what is causing it. They don't have a fear of a particular thing. They're just generally anxious and nervous. So the unexplained fears and worries Serato is for people who doubt their own judgment and they have an inability to make decisions.

So you can see a different way a different manifestation of anxiety here. Some is as fear like an Aspen and others is that indecision feeling fear of making a decision. And they'll often find they'll often ask for guidance from other people. Before choosing one of their own voices so somebody who has no confidence in their own choices or as the therapist a lot for guidance or from other people they need reassurance, cherry plum, people who feel control losing control of their mind and the body reminds you of the remedies demonium they have compulsive or impulsive behaviors and they know they're wrong but they just have a difficult time controlling themselves. So again use this possibly for also OCD some people might report fear hurting themselves or others because with their thoughts are with their actions. And think of cherry plum, their crab apples great remedy for shame, feeling of dirt or uncleanliness feeling like they've been contaminated by something.

So use it often in somebody who's been sexually abused. Now when they feel is something wrong with them a lot of guilt and shame on the shower a lot etc. I've also used crab Apple for somebody with who was self abusing. And with self mutilation or anorexia. There's something wrong with me, you know, not good enough, or we're focusing on the looks and blemishes and pimples etc. Few mobile flower remedies covered here.

Lm is great for somebody who's overwhelmed, worn out. And there's too many responsibilities similar to the Qalqilya carbonic acid was taken on too many commitments, too many things to deal with, and the feeling of not being able to cope anymore. Large is a great remedy to improve self confidence. So good for people who lack confidence in their own skills and often find that they think that other people are better than them. And they don't try because they don't try new things or don't try doing things because they're afraid of failing. So remind you of like a podium.

Yeah. So there's often a crossover between remedies here. Good remedy for people who feel inferior to others. And they believe other people are more capable than they are in doing certain things in life simulus good for people who are shy and have specific views. So unlike the previous remedy, or do we say here, Aspen was for unknown fears. Millis is for known fears fear of the dark fueled by your stage fright, social gatherings, confrontation, poverty, etc.

All of goodwill are included here because there's always a good remedy for exhaustion. So somebody who's been through a lot of financial stress, divorces overwork etc. They might be prone to anxiety and depression Yeah, so not only do you need to find the remedy for anxiety, depression, treat the burnout and all it was a good bath long remedy for that improves recovery. Fine, another good remedy for anxiety where there's a lot of guilt and self blame reminds me of Oram here. Remember, orem has a lot of guilt and shame. Mine helps somebody break the cycle of guilt and so when you break That cycle of guilt and you overcome limiting behaviors, because guilt stops them from trying new things or being the one go out in life again.

So also that self forgiveness so they can move on in life. And I find guilt also is a source of stress itself and can burn out the adrenal system. And so we need to remove emotions or resolve emotions that are perpetually stimulating the immune system and guilt is one of them. But just not good remedy for anxiety. People who are anxious or over concerned about others, especially their children. They fear something bad will happen to a family member.

Good remedy for that sense of paranoia overwhelming rock rose rate for shock as well. Similar to start a bethlem shock coverage soon, they experience something terrifying in their life like an accident or trauma. Or they've gone through some sense of some sort of abuse. Good for people who are experiencing nightmares sense of panic as well. It will become hysterical. It's clear and this great remedy for indecision Also sense of uncertainty, they cannot make up their mind.

So not so much seeking advice from others but really cannot make up their mind and the feelings xiety a lot of anguish when they first make a decision. starve bethlem similar to rock rose good remedy for shock if they've been a traumatic event in the person's life. Even though the trauma might have appeared quite a long time ago cerebellum can can be used for that star system is also in rescue remedy. So many of you might have heard a rescue remedy remedy for chronic anxiety as well as dealing with trauma in the past. Good ready to combine with psychotherapy actually. So you know, when somebody leaves a room, they're not fully resolved and are fully confident and healed.

And they need somebody to help them cope during the game. Started, fantastic for that. Switch has not great when it will be loose. It has that sense of deep despair. They've reached their limits, you know, of enduring the situation that cannot cope anymore. And there were a lot of anguish and fear that the end of They're at the end of the width so sweet just now can help somebody calm down and also good for depression when you know they've lost all hope or not.

Now I want to show you something here where so we're not only treating anxiety here we're treating the ability to break away from unhealthy things from the past. Yeah, moving through change, etc, starting new beginnings letting go of past attachments, an old divorce that's still bothering somebody. Want is good for that. Helping people move through life transitioning white chestnut, good remedy for mental anguish. So intrusive thoughts, repetitive thoughts, somebody with paranoid thoughts schizophrenia. Think about why just that they're also good for insomnia and or somebody who criticizes themselves will go to mental arguing mental light in their mind.

Why? Just to calm down the nervous system in that way.
