Are there things that could derail my progress while taking my homeopathic remedy?

There are sometimes things that can slow or derail the healing process for us, even when we are taking the best fitting homeopathic remedy as recommended. What does this mean? This means that there can be situations or things we consume on a regular basis that end up slowing our progress towards health.

Some examples could be:

Repetitive stress - this could be a difficult daily situation or life circumstance. As we move through things, one of the ways the homeopathic remedy helps is to support us through these times without our physical, emotional, or mental symptoms flaring up every day, or it helps to lessen the symptom flare.

Do the holidays increase your stress? Do you provide daily care for a loved one who is incapacitated? Do your symptoms get worse when you feel that stress? These would all be examples of a repetitive sort of stress.

Unexpected stress - this could be the things that surprise us (either positively or negatively), but we were not ready for it, and chronic symptoms we thought were better peek their head around the corner to let us know that they are back. The homeopathic remedy helps to support through these times as well - whether a different picture emerges of your symptoms, or it is the same ones returning, the remedy can help your body move through these times.

Did you unexpectedly lose a loved one or experience the loss of a pregnancy? Did you get fired at work or experience a wreck? These are examples of situations that could come in a surprising way and cause a temporary return or worsening of symptoms.

Choosing to continue the lifestyle behaviors that led to illness - when we get better, it is good to consider what led us to a place of being unwell. If there were variables that we can change, it is probably best not to go back to them.

Were there eating habits that contributed to illness or made it worse? Was overwork a trigger for symptoms? Were unhealthy relationships a contributing factor for your symptoms? All these things and more are worth considering in your journey to health!

The more we perceive our health as multi-faceted, the more we can understand that we have many ways of making choices that move us to greater health. Homeopathy is one of those choices, and so are the daily choices we can make for health.
