Monday, December 1st, 2008
Q : I was in a car crash recently and am now frightened of driving and am even sleep-walking. Is there anything I can take to help?
A : In this case the condition you are suffering from is known as a phobia. Homoeopathic remedies that help with shock and / or fright induced phobias, such as yours generally include: Opium 200C which is good for sleeping difficulties, reoccurring dreams and thoughts of the event and also sleep walking.
Aconite 200C is good if you find you are suffering from restlessness both mentally and physically and are having anxious dreams, it’s also used to help stop sleep-walking.
Arnica 200C is the typical remedy to think of for any type of trauma, shock or fight on a physical or emotional level. The potencies of all of the above would need to be administered by your homeopath, so do seek professional advice.
Additional Support:
• High potency multi-vitamin-mineral. B-Complex, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Flaxseed Oil, 5-HTP.
• Panax Ginseng (Korean ginseng): helps one cope during stressful periods in one’s life.
• Valerian root: helps to regulate the sleeping pattern.
• Hypericum perforatum (St. John’s Worth): improves many symptoms; depression, anxiety, apathy, sleep disturbances etc. But must be prescribed by your herbalist.
