How we perceive a stress-provoking event and how we react
to it determines its impact on our health. We may be
motivated and invigorated by the events in our lives, or we
may see some as “stressful” and respond in a manner that
may have a negative effect on our physical, mental, and
social well-being. We must learn to relax and enjoy what
matters!
Summer is already coming to an end and mid  September is
knocking on our doors with its beautiful sunny days and cool
refreshing nights. Students are stressed and anxious about
the prospect of seeing their friends, discovering their new
classrooms and meeting their new teachers and classmates for
the coming year. Many will mourn their vacation and start
reorganizing their use of time and facing the labyrinth of
school deadlines ahead of them.
Parents, on the other hand, face an explosive cocktail of
emotions as they reorganize, reschedule and adjust the
family budget while foreseeing trips to the store for school
supplies and new clothing, all the while trying to save
money.
Fortunately, there are many natural solutions to help with
the effects of stress and anxiety on the nervous system and
the rest of the body like:
•        Cerebral perturbations, memory and concentration
problems – specific homeopathies have a positive effect on
memory, attention deficit, and concentration.
•        Nervous exhaustion – tissue salts like
kalium-phosphoricum can strengthen and support the nervous
system, guarding against nervous exhaustion and as
lassitude, mild depression, nervousness, irritability,
hysteric behaviour, or impaired memory, confusion,
sleeplessness and  psychosomatic illnesses.
•        Hyperactive/overactive brain activity (for
example, in people that worry a lot, CEOs, students, people
having to keep many deadlines all the time) – gemmotherapy
like Ribes nigrum – helps you reduce nervousness, combats
stress, and balances emotional stress.
Homeopathic remedies, tissue salts, gemmotherapy remedies
– they all can help you reduce your level of anxiety and
stress caused by the start of school, changes in weather, or
any other stressful events in your life.
As always, for best results to an  individual approach,
consulting  a qualified health care professional is the
safest way. To find out your stress index, take Dr.Anca’s
