Post traumatic stress disorder is a type of anxiety disorder. PTSD occurs after witnessing a life-threatening or severely frightening experience. This condition is prevalent among veterans, and is also common in victims of violent crimes, abuse, accidents, natural disasters, and other psychologically traumatic events.

Symptoms of PTSD may occur immediately after the event, or several months later. It is expected to be in shock for a few hours to a few days after any highly stressful experience. However, if the symptoms interfere with your daily life to a significant degree, or if the symptoms persist for more than 4 weeks, professional treatment may be necessary.

People with PTSD often have difficulty sleeping, may feel more “on edge” than normal, and can have flashbacks or disturbing thoughts that interrupt their daily activities. Some people will block out memories of the traumatic event, or become emotionally “numb” in an attempt to avoid the stress caused by the experience. Many people with PTSD will feel depressed or detached from others, and often turn to alcohol or substance abuse to medicate their depression or anxiety.

For people who are interested in treating the underlying cause of PTSD, one of the safest and most effective treatments is classical homeopathic medicine. Homeopathy is a natural method of treatment in the form of small sublingual pills made from natural sources such as plants or minerals. This medicine stimulates your body’s innate ability to heal, restoring health naturally. Rather than suppressing your symptoms like most conventional treatments, homeopathy helps you heal from the inside out, working towards a cure of your illness.

There are thousands of homeopathic remedies, and each one is used to treat a specific set of symptoms. In order to find the correct homeopathic medicine for your case, I would need to listen to your story, and understand all of your symptoms in their entirety. This usually takes about 1-2 hours, and is a very comprehensive consultation. By treating you as an individual, the patient can get better results, leading to a faster and more complete recovery.
