Overwork or too much emotional pressure in the workplace can dramatically affect our health and wellbeing. All too often we have trouble appreciating the level of emotional strain we are under.
These remedies can help support the nervous system:
Stress, Anxiety and Over Working: Nux vomica is the most indicated remedy for the stress caused by over work; it covers ailments such as irritability and impatience, insomnia with a craving for stimulants such as coffee, alcohol, drugs and stimulating foods. Gelsemium is great for anticipatory anxiety; when people anticipate even simple things with fear and dread. Lycopodium suits tense, irritable intellectual people; lacking confidence they become anxious before any ordeal with bloating and flatulence. Aconite for acute anxiety, agitation and restlessness. Argent nit is also good for those with “nerves” due to worry of coming events, hurried and talkative they crave sweets. Restless anxiety, apprehension and dread in high achievers who become overly fussy and fastidious indicate Arsenicum. Dizziness, exhaustion and an empty feeling from worry and loss of sleep indicates Cocculus.
Effects of Shift Work – fly in fly out: with so many people travelling, especially by air, to and from the workplace homoeopathy is a real boon. Nux vomica is the standout remedy for symptoms associated with changes in the body clock from time changes, shift work or long work hours. Cocculus with its jet lag like symptoms and the nerve nutrient Kali phos are also well indicated to support the nervous system. For many this kind of lifestyle also has an impact emotionally. Remedies that are commonly indicated are Ignatia for the grief and sadness associated with separation from family. Pulsatilla if feeling lonely and emotional. Nux vomica if, once back home, you’re irritable and cranky with the family. And if you feel fed up, dragged down, want to be left alone and sometimes feel like running away from it all then take some Sepia, it will help bring back the joy.
