is there any nat medicine ok to take for anixety/stress/ocd/depression while nursing?

We Answered:

I would suggest the following Shaklee products.

B-Complex: Often called "The happy food". The B vitamins feed the nerves and have a profound effect on mental and emotional stability. Stress, medications, sugars, and alcohol all rob the body of B vitamins. B-Complex helps with: anti-stress, reduces cravings of chocolate, caffeine, and sugar, PMS + others.

Stress Relief Complex:

Fast Relief - Thirty minutes is all it takes for Stress Relief Complex to work.

Natural Relief: Four all-natural ingredients enable your own body reduce the effects of stress.

Promotes relaxation with drowsiness, L-theanine (Camellia sinensis), a naturally occurring amino acid found in green tea, helps generate alpha waves that creates a relaxed yet alert mental state.

Enhances the body's ability to adapt to continuing stress. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) - an Ayurvedic herb that enhances the body's ability to adapt to stress.

Helps reduce the effects of everyday stress by blunting the cortisol response to stress. Beta-Sistosterol, a natural plant sterol, helps blunt cortisol, a hormone produced during physical stress.

Helps make norepinephrine, which is involved in mood regulation. L-tyrosine is an amino acid produced by the body to make the neurotransmitter norepinephrine.

Handles Ongoing Stress - Stress Relief Complex enables the body to create the antibodies necessary to cope with prolonged stress.

No Kava - A "fad ingredient" that the FDA warned may cause severe liver injury.

I've been diagnosed with depression...?

We Answered:

You need to investigate the differences between clinical and chemical depression. You can holistic yourself silly, but you need to know what you are dealing with to do right by yourself.

I survived depression for 20 years plus, before it was clearly diagnosed as chemical depression. I didn't want to believe it, but was finally coached to try medication by my therapist and doctor. They were a very helpful team, and slowly but surely, with their support I became healthier and more knowledgeable of myself.

The best therapy I received was Cognitive Therapy, and my meds include vitamin B12, Paxil and Seroquel. I also exercise, and volunteer in the community.

Just make sure you do not mix your remedies without checking in with your pharmacist. Sometimes mixing homeopath remedies can cause illness rather than cure, as is the same for prescribed medications.

Confused about homeopathic medicines? please help!!?

We Answered:

I think that's a nice question. I don't really have a lot of knowledge in homeopathy but I really like it. My understanding, which you can verify somewhere, is that there are constitutional remedies which deal with these personality traits. It's not exactly a personality trait though, to dislike stuffy rooms. Or to feel hot or cold. It seems like constitutional remedies deal with chronic symptoms while there are remedies for acute symptoms also. Does a good homeopath give both, alternately.? I myself don't know but I am sharing my feelings about this with you because I also have been bewildered by homeopathic books over the years and have come to the conclusion that good self-diagnosis will take further deep study which, up till now I've not had time to do.
My other conclusion is that it is great if we can find a qualified practitioner but I hope someone who is one will clarify this matter for you here in answers. I live in an Asian country where there are so many homeopaths and they are so cheap, but I find very few who are qualified. So it can be necessary to know how to self diagnose, for so many reasons. Good luck with your studies.

hi ,is homeopathic medicine help in severe depression and acxiety?

We Answered:

I really don't know a lot about homeopathic medicine but I know a lot about depression. You say you have severe depression and anxiety then you need to go back to your regular MD. You really need to be on meds.for this. If these two meds. didn't work for you then you need to try others. It can take several tries until you find the right combination that will help straighten out your brain chemistry. I know that when I found the right ones I felt so much better. I just feel that a regular doctor would be safer for you. Depression isn't something to mess around with.

Anita Said:

how good or bad is homeopathic medicine "Kalium Phosphoricum" for stress, anxiety and depression?

We Answered:

I hate to tell you this but your healing is psychosomatic. Depression is either situational and can be abated with natural stuff, because of the positive somatic side effects. Long term or bipolar depression cannot. the reason a person has these types of depression is because their brain is not producing dopamine or seratonin--not kalium phosphoricum. so in these cases, you need to put these chemicals in your body.
For anxiety, this is produced by reliving a trauma(s) and the loss of the chemicals that normally control the feelings of being unhappy and out of control. Again, a chemical issue.
If you need the chemicals to put you back in order, you might try something without side effects like lexapro. very easy to take in 10 mg and no side effects. it is great with anx and depr. good luck.
