Grieving

Grieving

In homeopathy there are many remedies to help you through a grieving period. Here are three of the key remedies with a little description of each to help you identify which one might match your symptoms the closest.
Of course there is nothing wrong or “to be cured” about grieving. It is a natural and healthy reaction to loss. It is when we become stuck in it and unable to act or move on that we may need support.
Ignatia
Ignatia is often used when people are in the immediate stages of grief, when emotions are intense, where there is much deep sighing, where there are periods of holding back from crying only to break into periods of uncontrollable sobbing. Ignatia is also preferred when grief is as a result of romantic loss or rejection.
Natrum Muriaticum
This remedy is often used when someone is experiencing prolonged grief and even depression. This remedy is very useful when people have failed to grieve properly before and come to deal with an old emotional wound later in life or years after the original event that caused it.
Phosphoricum Acidicum
Phosphoricum Acidicum is used when people are overwhelmed by grief to the extent that they are unable to respond, become apathetic to life and feel completely drained of energy and will to do anything. They are in a state of collapse.
