"A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession."
                                                                            Hippocrates

We all know what stress is.  Some stress is good.  It can get us motivated and into action.  But too much stress can be detrimental to your health.  Did you know that in addition to a very specific physiological response, stress has effects on mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being?  Let’s look at that.  Mental well-being includes the ability to think, to process information, to remember things, and to communicate.  Emotional well-being includes the ability to feel and express a full range of human emotions.  It includes the ability to control one’s emotions rather than be at their mercy.  Spiritual well-being is about experiencing meaningful purpose in life, having and living to personal values, being able to enjoy relationships with self and others, and being on a path to higher consciousness. 

Stress affects physical well-being by disrupting physical homeostasis, can damage cells and organ tissues, and can lead to death.  Stress affects mental well-being by overloading circuits and decreasing processing capabilities, which ultimately affects your productivity and performance.  Stress affects emotional well-being by causing an overload to emotional circuits, which can either shut down the circuits (depression), or cause agitation in the circuits (anxiety, fear).  Stress can cause a block to spiritual well-being, making you unable to access a higher consciousness path to life because you are stuck in survival mode.  

By understanding how stress affects our total well-being, when we experience “stress”  symptoms – including loss of memory, inability to think clearly, inability to feel or express emotions, too many negative emotions, ennui, depression, anxiety, inappropriate or too much anger, inability to sleep well for 7 – 8 hours, excessive worry, loss of libido, imbalance in life, heart palpitations, weight loss or gain, muscle tension, and more – we now understand that these symptoms from our vital force are saying “stress is affecting me, pay attention!”  It is when we don’t pay attention and don’t make changes, stress can become our new NORM and we do not even realize it.   

Did you know that when you are chronically stressed for long periods, you learn to cope and adapt to your symptoms?  Soon you believe your particular stress symptoms are your new norm – i.e. not getting enough sleep, feeling anxious much of the time, and so on?  The symptoms may come and go.  They may bother you enough to seek medical help, which typically comes in the form of a prescription.  When it becomes your new norm, and you either do nothing about it, or you go get a “happy pill” i.e. for anxiety or depression, you are harming yourself.  The cumulative effects and results of these daily stresses may not show up for a number of years, or they may show up sooner as louder symptoms (i.e. – peptic ulcer, Bell’s Palsy, high blood pressure, frequent upper respiratory infections, an aged appearance, and so on).  Every symptom your body gives you is an expression of your vital force trying to tell you something.  Taking a “happy pill” is not addressing the problem.  Suppress that symptom and it will go further inside and start destruction somewhere else, perhaps coming out later at a deeper level – say, cardiopulmonary conditions, suicidal tendencies, or even cancer, to name a few.  Ignoring chronic stress symptoms or making them your norm is damaging your body, causing it to work in overload to maintain homeostasis.  It will make you sick if it goes unchecked too long.

Now that you know this, what can you do that:

1. Deals with the effects and causes of stress

2. Is effective in raising your overall level of health

3. Helps maintain all levels of your well-being

4. And what can you do if you have already become ill to regain a good level of health?

Homeopathy is a safe, effective system of natural medicine, used by millions of people all over the world for over 200 years.  Homeopathic medicines are prepared from natural sources, used in extremely small amounts, and are recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.   Homeopathy supports the maintenance of health in all areas of well-being – mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical.  It does not suppress symptoms, but addresses the root cause.  Unfortunately, many people seek homeopathy after they have gotten a devastating diagnosis – cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, etc.  While that may not be too late, if they had come sooner, when they consistently couldn’t sleep for months, when they started having memory problems or anxiety or stomach issues, they may not have progressed to that level of illness.  

I worked for large corporations for 20+ years and know the level of stress within the workplace can be extremely high, not to mention family life and everything else outside of work! What I saw was people adapting to the stress, and over time becoming sicker.  They allowed their stress symptoms to become their norm.  They did not know there is a better way, a way to deal with the effects of stress in a healthy, safe, and effective way, instead of accepting, masking, or ignoring symptoms. 

Homeopathy is holistic and individual.  Two people with similar symptoms will most likely have two different courses of action. 

Because of the nature of the work I do and the people I see, I am determined not to add to anyone’s stress.  I offer travel to your place of business, as long as you have a private room with table and chairs available for our consultation.

Are you making your stress symptoms your norm?  If so, contact me to see how homeopathy can help with your overall level of health.  There is a better way.

Always to Your Good Health,
