She also added that there had been a couple of stressful instances that she had come across but she did not get as anxious as before. Her complaints of trembling and palpitation with heaviness and tingling in the head were relieved completely.
Conclusion
This case study highlights that homeopathy helps gain a better control over the anxiety and the physical complaints which are related to anxiety. The need of conventional medicines can be stopped in early diagnosed cases and can be reduced in cases wherein patients are dependent on conventional treatment for a long time. Since the Anxiety neurosis is treated on the basis of the genetic tendency and the constitutional type of the patient, the cure is supposed to be at a deeper level.
