How Homeopathy Helped Reduce Dependence on Anxiolytics
A 30-year-old man from Mumbai named Mr. K. S. (Patient ID: 55223) began receiving homeopathic treatment for anxiety disorder on 3rd August 2024. It has been bothering him for the past two years. The patient had a lot of anxiety. He frequently experienced anxiety and palpitations. The worry of losing loved ones persisted. Concerns were raised over his health and welfare. He was insecure and frequently felt exhausted. After a thorough case analysis, it was found that the patient''s mother was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. Since then, he has been experiencing anxiety episodes. He experienced more anxiety and panic attacks when his mother passed away a week earlier when he saw us. For the past six months, he had been taking allopathic medications, but nothing was helping.
His appetite was normal. There was no specific desire or aversion to food and drinks. He had an average thirst. Sleep was often disturbed due to anxiety. There was no complaint with urine and stool.
The patient had business. He was staying with his wife and 3-year-old daughter. He was always anxious and stressed. There was always the fear of going to a new place or meeting new people.
There were no major illnesses in the past. Mother suffered from breast cancer.
After studying the case in detail, Dr.Shah prescribed him Natrum Muraticum 30 along with some research-based homeopathic medicines. He was advised to continue allopathic medicines for now and later in follow-up it can be tapered gradually.
Follow-ups:
A significant shift was observed in the initial follow-up on September 18, 2024. His complaints began to improve at this point. Although there was still anxiety, it was less frequent and less intense than it had been. There was also reduced restlessness and palpitations. The degree of confidence began to rise. It was suggested to reduce allopathic medications gradually.
On December 11, 2024, the patient stated that he was feeling much better. There has been a significant decrease in both the frequency and duration of anxiety attacks and palpitation incidents. There was an increase in confidence. He could make decisions. The patient has now cut back on his use of allopathic medications to about 50%. Overall, there was a recovery with the medications.
On 4th February 2025, the patient informed us that he is perfectly fine now. There was no episode of anxiety. There was no longer any fear of health or fear of losing a loved one which he had before. The palpitation and restlessness were also no longer present. The patient was very satisfied and happy with the treatment. He has reduced all allopathic medicines to almost 80% now.
He thanked Dr. Shah and the whole Lifeforce team for helping him and making him better. He is continuing treatment to get complete recovery from his problem and to stop all allopathic medicines completely.
