the anxiety cure
In May of this year (2025), I took a case for a 22-year-old girl presenting with debilitating panic attacks, health anxiety, digestive disturbances and severe mental “stuck-ness” in life choices.
She had gotten to the point where she couldn’t leave the house, feared every supplement that natural-minded doctors prescribed would negatively affect her system, and would experience the heart-racing, light-headed, racing-thought symptoms of severe anxiety multiple times a day. This was leading to depressive and intrusive thoughts around whether she was ever going to be okay again, and the despair of not seeing any solution.
Conventional medicine would’ve likely prescribed an SSRI or similar medication to address depression, anxiety and forced physiological regulation. None of this is healing - it is actually suppressive. In attempting to control the body’s physiological responses, we are essentially saying that our symptoms are not indicative of an underlying problem. In other words, we don’t know what’s really going on so we don’t know how to fix it, so we’ll just make our warning lights turn off and pretend the problem doesn’t exist.
Even natural medicine operates from a similar philosophy, albeit more enlightened. We replace the pharmaceuticals with natural supplements and assume the symptoms stem from some kind of deficiency. We’d use things like Rhodiola, Reishi, and methylated B-Vitamins to address the physiological responses and support nervous system functioning. What this doesn’t address is why we were susceptible to dysregulation and deficiencies in the first place.
Yes, we can blame all the nuances of modern life that has distorted the natural rhythms of life - sedentary living, lack of sunlight, soil stripped of naturally-occurring minerals due to industrial farming practices, foods travelling on average 1500 miles from farm to grocery store resulting in sometimes as much as 100% vitamin degradation by the time it reaches our mouths. Not to mention the excessively poor indoor air quality we all live in due to the chemicals in our furniture and endocrine disruptors in all our self-care and households products. Yes - it all carries weight. But they are drops in the bucket of your energetic foundation that eventually overflows.
Homeopathy heals at the foundation because of the concept of resonance. The definition of resonance is “a phenomenon that occurs when an object or system is subjected to an external force or vibration whose frequency matches a resonant frequency of the system, defined as a frequency that generates a maximum amplitude response in the system.” In other words - our bodies respond to the frequencies that resonate with them. When we build our resilience to toxins, stresses, thoughts, etc - it no longer has the same effect on our body. We are strengthening the foundation instead of filling the cracks in the walls. Resilience is more powerful than elimination.
So in the case of this client’s anxiety - I dug deeper. She had several traumatic experiences in childhood, a negative reaction to a flu vaccine, repetitive thoughts of comparison and recurrent dreams of a similar theme. Her family’s health history also indicated an inherited predisposition to certain symptom pictures.
The two homeopathic remedies that were chosen for her were based on this full symptom picture, including aspects of her personality, fears, desires, likes/dislikes. These all represent some form of energetic resonance that are supported by certain preparations. We were not looking for 5 supplements to support every deficiency that was presenting, nor were we looking to palliate the symptoms. We supported her vitality with resonance-matching remedies. When her foundation was properly supported, her body healed itself. After dosing daily with the two homeopathic remedies for eight weeks, she stopped experiencing panic attacks, anxiety ceased, and her digestive health was restored. She noted feeling more “grounded” and ended up making several life choices she had been dwelling on for months.
She was on the remedies for about four months total. The most significant part of this treatment however, is not that she healed from panic attacks - but that the treatment improved her overall vitality. And this is the true nature of homeopathy. In restoring our vitality - we are now more resilient and our bodies are able to do what they were designed to do - HEAL.
