HOMEOPATHY IN THE TREATMENT OF ANXIETY

Abstract

Anxiety is often reported by patients who seek alternative or complementary treatments, such as Homeopathy, for example. Homeopathy has been recognized as a medical specialty by the Federal Council of Medicine since 1980 and included in the Unified Health System since 2006, where it treats patients globally and not exclusively for their symptoms. Its principle is healing by others and stimulates the body to react against their illness. Ultra-diluted substances are used in order to reduce their pathogenic power. Correctly selected homeopathic medicine improves self-confidence, worry and anxiety.
