AURUM METALLICUM

High achievers and people who are very responsible might get better after using this medicine. They often take things extremely seriously and exhibit great ambition at work. When people sacrifice their personal lives for work, it can eventually strain their relationships because they end up devoting too much of themselves to their careers. Alcohol use as a stress reliever can result in liver problems, which can then fuel irrational outbursts of anger and irritation.

These individuals can experience severe depression during difficult times, particularly when things go wrong at work because they have devoted so much time and effort to their careers that their identities have become tied to what they have or have not accomplished. Even if these individuals struggle with talking about their issues, their inclination to hold their emotions results in isolation and the perception that they are solely responsible for the problem's growth.

ARGENTUM NITRICUM

  This medicine can be beneficial for people who become compulsive or ritualistic out of tension and nervousness. These people enjoy performing, and they may be talented athletes or competitive artists. The issue is that they have a tendency to become extremely apprehensive and nervous about impending events, which has an impact on their performance. Because of unpleasant and unreasonable impulses, there may be extreme concern about one's health or fear of being alone.

Argentum nitricum is an excellent nerve relaxant and balance-creator. There may also be a sense of urgency and rushing, of not having enough time to complete everything, which, of course, is made worse by impending meetings, events, or key interviews.The desire for rituals (such continually checking items) grows as the deadline draws closer and the fears grow deeper. Other traits that are addressed by this treatment include claustrophobia, a fear of heights, or a dread of being in a confined environment like a train.

LACHESIS

Lachesis works well for those who experience strong highs and lows, which is why it can be beneficial for people with bipolar disorder or manic, depression They have a passionate, chatty, expressive side that is followed by a brooding, melancholy mood that might cause envy and competition. Due to the depth of their imagination and subconscious, some people may develop the notion that they are not entirely in control of themselves during difficult situations and become very suspicious of others. If left untreated, this paranoia may eventually grow so severe as to trigger psychotic episodes.

WHY HOMOEOPATHY ?

The primary explanation is that homeopaths treat each person as a whole, accounting for the mind, emotions, and physical symptoms. Contrarily, standard medical practice tries to completely explain the issue in terms of chemistry or hormonal shifts. Then, a pharmaceutical is picked to balance these modifications, which can relieve distressing symptoms (as long as you continue taking the medication while simultaneously experiencing the side effects). But over time, this strategy does nothing to alter the root cause of mental health issues.
