Sometimes our fears or anxieties take over our lives. They keep us from enjoying life. We can’t go out of the house or we are unable to do the things we want. We may lie in bed full of anxiety. Or your child may have fears or be anxious or have nightmares or night terrors.

Living a life with full of fear is so limiting. Fear keeps you from doing things. It doesn’t matter what you are scared of- homeopathy can help solve the underlying problems so things get better.

While homeopathy works equally well on adults and children- we will show you here 2 children who were helped with homeopathy.

Ashley was 11. Her parents brought her in, but she answered all the questions herself. She was often ill during that past autumn. She had a runny nose and sinus headaches. The school year was about to start and she was very nervous about it. She said that she was afraid when meeting new people because she thought that the teachers or schoolmates wouldn't like her. This surprised me, because she was a sweet lovable child.

Her sleep was very disturbed. It took her one or two hours to fall asleep, because of her anxiety. As soon as she lay down, she felt that something bad was going to happen to her. She was afraid that someone would break in and kidnap her. She kept a night light on and couldn't go to sleep without it.

Looking at these and many other symptoms I prescribed one dose of Phosphorus (note this was the right remedy for her but the possibility of it being the right remedy for another person suffering from fear is low).

After an initial aggravation of her sleep symptoms, she started feeling better. It took longer for her to get frustrated. Her fears became much less. She said that she was able to go to sleep without any fear, and didn't even need a night light. Her energy level became much higher. She seemed more responsible and worried less about what other people thought of her. Her runny nose and sinus problems were much less.

After two months she started the new school year. She dealt with it much better than the previous year, without much fear or anxiety. Her mother noted that this year, for the first time in years, she got ready for the first day of school with eagerness.

Six months after the remedy we had our final follow-up. All the original problems were gone. Her mother said that she was eager for change, while before the remedy she was scared of it. She felt much more confident, so we closed the case.

Here is homeopathy in action a child full of anxiety and fears- who blossoms after she gradually gets stronger from the right homeopathic remedy. Here is one more example:

Justin was a 3 year old boy. His parents were concerned about his many fears. He was deathly afraid of any animals. He would run at the sight of a cat or a dog. He had nightmares most nights, waking up screaming. He also wet his bed every night.

He also had frequent bronchitis attacks and repeated ear infections. He sometimes also had asthmatic attacks.

They told me that he was a very sweet but obstinate child. He loved other kids and was very affectionate. But if he didn't get what he wanted he cried, screamed and broke things. He broke things a lot.

Based upon these and other symptoms I prescribed one dose of Causticum 1M.
The same day he took the remedy he had a nightmare. A few days later he developed an earache.

By one month his mother came in complaining that he was worse. Nothing had improved and he became much more naughty and openly destructive. Upon questioning he showed some subtle signs of improvement and his mother thought he didn't get sick in situations that he would have before. Thus despite the lack of clear improvement I decided to let the remedy work a while longer and see what happened. By three months his nightmares were gone. He was bedwetting less. He stopped being destructive. He then developed a severe ear infection that required a dose of Causticum (note this was the right remedy for him but the possibility of it being the right remedy for another person suffering from fear is low).

By six months the nightmares and destructiveness were still gone. He was sleeping better. He was less frightened by animals though he still didn't like them. He started developing hearing problems. The bedwetting was much better.

By nine months the only problems remaining were the fear of animals that had continued getting better and the hearing problems that were also getting better.

Now after thirteen months all the problems are gone. His mother reports that he is really blossoming. He is teaching himself reading and math. He can play by himself happily now and is also getting along better with other kids.

We have also worked with adults who have anxiety and panic attacks. We have taken adults who were so agoraphobic that they never left their house and helped them regain full lives. We have helped both adults and children who have a wide range of fear and anxiety problems.

Would you like to hear what a patient had to say about how homeopathy helped her fears?
I am an incest survivor. I've been seeing Aviva for almost five years, now, and am a different person. Almost immediately, I was able to stop taking antidepressants. I told Aviva recently, that the world has always been a scary place for me. I am finally beginning to feel safe here. And that is huge, for me.

In this example you see the difference between homeopathy and other approaches for treatment of fears. After the right remedy we expect to see everything getting better in the person's life.
