Anxiety

March 20, 2020

Anxiety looks different for different people. Unfortunately the fear, panic and uncertainty generated by Covid-19 is triggering anxiety for many people. In my experience, Homeopathy is the most effective way at dealing with and reducing anxiety. Bach flower remedies can often help, and be something you can use in the moment to calm down. Children get anxiety too. This may be the obvious separation anxiety. It can be a less obvious form- like various illnesses preventing them from going to …

Covid-19 and Emotional Well-being

The Cough Clock

March 6, 2020

Sometimes you get a cough that you can set a clock by. This week my middle child has had a 5am cough. The first day I struggled and didn’t find the right remedy in time to get her back to sleep. The second day, when I realised it was again bang on 5am I checked my repertory and found 11 remedies listed.
