It’s back-to-school time again, whether it’s kindergarten, skills training, or graduate school. In this article, we’ll focus on three NEWTON homeopathics® complexes to consider as you or your children head back to school. NEWTON homeopathics® Stage Fright-Fear, Post-Vaccination, and Hangover Help are a few complexes to consider.
NEWTON homeopathics® Stage Fright-Fear is formulated for symptoms associated with performance anxiety such as apprehension, nausea, restlessness, trembling, and over-sensitivity. When evaluating this complex, make sure you look at the second part of the name – fear. You may discount this complex because you don’t identify with being on stage. But most of us have fears of some sort. For me, a dentist visit would be a reason to take this complex. Based on traditional homeopathic practice, Stage Fright-Fear includes Gelsemium sempervirens (yellow jasmine), indicated for fear of doctors and dentists, and Valeriana officinalis (valerian) and Phosphorus, indicated for fear of being alone.
NEWTON homeopathics® Stage Fright-Fear can also be relevant to students. You or your children may be struggling with fears related to interactions at school. Based on traditional homeopathic practice, Stage Fright-Fear also contains Anacardium orientale (marking nut), indicated for lack of confidence, and for students fearing examinations. Ignatia amara (St. Ignatius bean) and Aconitum napellus (monkshood) are indicated for fear of public speaking. So, when you or your child faces the challenge of a big test or a presentation, look to the Stage Fright-Fear complex.
Other single remedies included in Stage Fright-Fear are indicated for other fears, such as fear of disease, fear of being alone, fear of flying, fear of being late, fear of being rejected, and fear of breaking down under stress. This complex also contains remedies indicated for the emotions that accompany fear such as restlessness, nervousness, sleeplessness, and anxiety.
Remember, you don’t have to be walking the red carpet to feel fearful; reach for the Stage Fright-Fear for your day-to-day fears.
Vaccinations can also be a part of the back-to-school routine. NEWTON homeopathics® Post-Vaccination complex is formulated for vaccination-related and viral-related symptoms such as fever, inflammation, injection site pain, fatigue, and skin discomfort.
Based on traditional homeopathic practice NEWTON homeopathics® Post-Vaccination complex contains Lachesis mutus (bushmaster snake venom), indicated for sore throat and ear pain, and Crotalus horridus (timber rattlesnake venom), indicated for chills. Belladonna (deadly nightshade) and Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) are indicated for diarrhea, and Ledum palustre (wild rosemary) is indicated for red spots, a rash, night sweats, and puncture wounds. Pulsatilla (wind flower) and Rhus tox (poison ivy) are indicated for fever, and Baptisia tinctoria (wild indigo) is indicated for a sick feeling all over. Influenzinum (inactivated influenza virus) and Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) are indicated for general malaise. Sulphur (brimstone) is indicated for skin eruptions, and Nux vomica (poison nut) is indicated for burning and itching of the skin.
Other remedies are included according to the first principle of homeopathy, Similia Similibus Curentur, “Like Cures Like”, such as Pertussinum (whooping cough), Morbillinum (measles), and Influenza (inactivated influenza virus). If you choose to be vaccinated, choose Post-Vaccination.
You may not believe NEWTON homeopathics® Hangover Help belongs in this back-to-school category, but I remember my college days when I was immature and naive. It’s also applicable to all categories since it can affect anyone at any time. If you use this complex regularly, it may be time to seek professional help. NEWTON homeopathics® Hangover Help is meant to be a seldomly-used complex for those times when you have blown caution to the wind, “partied” a bit too much, and are now suffering the consequences.
NEWTON homeopathics® Hangover Help is formulated for symptoms associated with intoxication including nausea, dizziness, discomfort, and headache. Based on traditional homeopathic practice, Hangover Help contains Theridion (orange spider), indicated for nausea and vomiting with any slight motion. Nux vomica (poison nut) is indicated for a headache from excessive alcohol, an intoxicated feeling, ill effects of alcohol, bloodshot eyes, and feelings of wanting to vomit but cannot. Glonoinum (nitroglycerine) is indicated for confusion with dizziness. Ranunculus bulbosus (buttercup) is indicated for hiccoughs, bad effects of alcohol, weakness, giddiness, and confusion as if intoxicated. Bryonia (wild hops) and Carbo vegetabilis (wood charcoal) are indicated for when one loathes even the thought of food.
When a social event has negated your common sense, choose Hangover Help.
