Homeopathy is a safe and effective treatment for depression
I recently came across an article that illustrated a study conducted in 2011. This study compared the results of patients diagnosed with depression, treated with a pharmaceutical drug called fluoxetine and patients treated with individualised homeopathic remedies.
From this study the conclusion was the following:
-homeopathic remedies are at least as effective as fluoxetine for treating depression
-due to the drug’s side effects, more patients dropped out of the study, compared to the group of patients treated homeopathically.
What were the patients treated with? The study mentions Q potencies (LM potencies) of a variety of remedies, like Graphite or Pulsatilla. The remedies were chosen based on the individual’s symptoms, of course.
In my practice I see many patients with a diagnosis of depression. Some of these individuals are on anti-depressants and want to gradually come off the medication, while others start with homeopathy, in order to avoid drugs altogether.
In either case, homeopathy can improve the symptoms dramatically and, therefore, transform people’s lives for the better.
