Grief is a natural response to the loss of a loved one, a relationship, an expected experience or a cherished possession. It can be a difficult and painful experience, and many people turn to conventional treatments such as therapy to help them cope. However, some people prefer to try a more natural approach, such as homeopathy.
Ignatia
One of the most commonly used homeopathic remedies for grief is Ignatia. Ignatia is made from the seed of the St. Ignatius bean, and is chosen when there’s feelings of sadness, sorrow, and emotional pain. It is often prescribed for people who have recently experienced a big loss, such as the death of a loved one or the end of a relationship. Because homeopathy is holistic, the remedy picture should match the person- grief and uncontrollable crying are the key notes.
Nat Mur
Another popular homeopathic remedy for grief is Natrum Muriaticum (Nat Mur). Nat Mur is made from sodium chloride (salt) and is chosen when people are struggling with feelings of profound grief, loneliness, isolation, and sadness. It is often prescribed for people who have a hard time expressing their emotions, and may be helpful for people who have a history of bottling up their feelings.
Other Grief Remedies
Other remedies to note are Aurum, Phosphorous, Pulsatilla and Staphisagria, once the remedy picture matches.
