Aconitum Napellus

One of the famous remedies is Aconitum Napellus, which is indicated when the person is in fear of dying and believes that it will happen now. The person feels fear of going out, being in a crowd, or crossing the street. The person that needs Aconitum believes that any illness he/she might have will be the cause of his/her death.

Arsenicum Album is indicated for people whose mental restlessness is accompanied by physical weakness to move, cannot rest in any place, changes places continually lies now here and now there.

In Arsenicum Album the person is anxious and fears death but cannot predict the time it will happen. He thinks that it is useless to take medicine, as the condition is incurable and is surely going to cause death; there is the dread of death when alone or when going to bed. In Arsenicum, there is a tendency to drink water frequently but in very small amounts.

Aurum Metallicum

With Aurum Metallicum (gold) the person is constantly dwelling on suicide; he/she is profoundly melancholic, feels hateful and quarrelsome, desires to commit suicide, and life is a constant burden. There is an uneasy, hurried, great desire for mental and physical activity; he/she cannot do things fast enough. The person suffers from grief and disappointed love, from fright, anger, contradictions, mortification, vexation, or reserved displeasure. He/she is oversensitive, and the least contradiction like pain, smell, taste, hearing or touch excites anger.

The person that needs Nux Vomica has a tendency to be malicious, nervous, and at the same time melancholic. He/she will be irritable with a nervous disposition, prone to indigestion, and might develop hemorrhoids as a result of the mental state.

Nux is chiefly successful with persons of a passionate character, of an irritable, impatient temperament whether at work or in social gatherings. A Nux person will show depression with irritability and inclination to commit suicide but is afraid to die.

Nux can help the person that is inclined to calm the mental illness by using drugs or excessive alcoholic drinks. He/she will be oversensitive to external impression to odors, light or music and will get offended by every harmless.

Other Remedies

As you can appreciate, there are many more remedies and each one might have a unique characteristic that matches your state of mind at present time. Therefore, it is important to consult with the team of SAGE Homeopathy to understand who you are in particular and what causes you to have the mental issues

Depression and Nutrition

The nervous system is directly connected to the gut and to the immune system; that is why issues affecting one system will also affect the others. In cases of mental disorders, it is important to support the gut and the immune system as well.

Eating a whole food diet can help you deal with your mental illness. Your diet should include plenty of vegetables, especially those rich in B vitamins (leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc.), fruits (bananas, citrus, avocado, etc.), whole grains, legumes (beans, lentils, peas, chickpeas, etc.), nuts and seeds (sunflower seeds, macadamia nuts, almonds, etc.) and sea vegetables.

If you are not vegetarian, good sources of B12 vitamins are grass-fed beef and lamb, wild-caught cold-water fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines, etc.), chicken and turkey, eggs, yogurt, etc. If you are vegetarian, nutritional yeast is probably the single best source of all B vitamins but you may also need to take a supplement.

At the same time, you should eliminate the consumption of sugars, processed foods, hydrogenated oils, and foods that cause you allergies.

It is also important to supplement with omega 3 fish oil and probiotics. Some adaptogenic herbs, such as ashwagandha, are also very helpful when dealing with issues like anxiety and depression. Vitamin C and magnesium may also be beneficial. There are many other supplements that can help depending on the mental disorder.

Lifestyle changes are usually required in order to reduce stress and depression. For example, deep breathing exercises can help reduce depression and taking a walk in nature can do wonders to improve your mood and help you relax.

At Sage homeopathy, we can also provide you with nutritional advice and help you make the right choices for your body and your mind.

Why is our gut microbiome important?

Gut microbiomes are all those bacteria, viruses and micro-organisms that live in our gut and they dictate our health.

How is our gut microbiome related to our health?

There are many studies suggesting and showing that the microbiome can make us sick if there is not enough of them or they are not in good health, or they can help restoring our health if maintained well.

Moreover, many studies have shown that the brain is affected by the gut microbiome and vice a versa.

i.e. during school examinations we feel “stomach” sick or nauseas, when we need to perform in front of a crowd, we might feel we are going to vomit, or after a lot of mental exertion we might feel hungry, etc. etc.

Who is in charge of our health?

This is clear evidence that our mental state affects our gut microbiomes at least acutely.

If we are in a chronic state of mind like sadness, depression, etc., then we can expect that our microbiome gut will be affected as well, but in a chronic state.

By falling into chronic states, we might expect reduction in the number of gut microbiomes or decreasing in the health of our gut microbiomes.

You are in charge, you can make the difference.

Think simple, if you are rushing you might not eat the proper foods as you don’t have time to prepare. You also might be eating in a rush, something that is not in favor of what the body requires. In the other hand, if you are sad, tired, etc. you might not be willing even to eat.

Therefore, if we don’t maintain our gut microbiome in check, we might expect diseases to develop.

This is a vicious circle connecting the mind and the gut.

You can make a change though, call me for 30 minutes, free consultation in order to understand the treatments that are available to restore your health.

Why is Omega 3 important?

Omega 3 acts as an anti inflammatory agent, and also helps the mobility of all the cells in the body by acting as a lubricant.

Omega 3 is one of the polyunsaturated fats that are essential to our health. Other polyunsaturated fats are omega 6, omega 9 and more.

Omega 3 has two main components; the EPA and the DHA.

Researchers agree that it is most beneficial to introduce to our diet the omega 3 with both the EPA and the DHA components together and not separately.

How is the EPA and the DHA in Omega 3 made?

Our diet needs to include some omega 6. Omega 6 will be essential for the production of omega 3.

The omega 6 fatty acid, when in the liver, will get elongated with more carbon molecules. This new molecule will be elongated again, in he liver, to become EPA.

The liver will metabolize the EPA and then DHA will be created.

Studies found that DHA does not convert to EPA.

Where in the body we can find EPA and DHA?

The brain and the retina are rich in DHA, but these organs do not contain EPA.

Anywhere in the body we can find the EPA that will help us with many bodily functions.

Where can we get healthy sources of Omega 6?

We can find omega 6 in various whole foods and oils, i.e., Sunflower, safflower, soybean, corn, and more.

In order to reduce the oils costs, these oils became less pure comparing to their quality of many years ago, and as such be used by the food industry in all the aspects of producing packaged foods and cooking in restaurants.

I use whole foods containing omega 6, for instance sunflower seeds, avocado, walnuts and such, peanut butter, eggs and many more. I do not recommend using the oils mentioned above.

Where can we get healthy sources of Omega 3?

There is plenty of omega 3 in wild caught fish like sardines, salmon, cod liver, herring and other fatty fish.

Other good sources are cashews, almonds, walnut, chia, flaxseeds and many more.

Examples of diseases that Omega 3 can prevent or assist in curing.

Triglycerides – May lower the level with increasing EPA.

EPA reduces inflammation by creating a molecule by the name resolvents. In one example, EPA can help with arthritis disease by reducing the inflammation and therefore reducing the pain.

When EPA goes into the membranes, it improves the fluidity and therefore the metabolism will run smoothly.

Our neurons must be lubricated at all times. This is the basic consideration to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.

EPA can control the heart rate.

Bleeding – EPA makes the platelets not to be too sticky and therefore clogs might be prevented. This will result in prevention of heart attacks.

Pulmonary diseases, overall improve the immune system and more.

Can we treat dementia?

The answer to the question is yes, following multiple therapies and changing the lifestyle.

Dementia is a health burden of increasing significance as our population ages. Worldwide the prevalence of dementia is 5-7% in people 60 years and older, with the risk doubling every 5 years after age 60. About 5.4 million Americans are living with dementia.
Dementia is a general category referring to a chronic decline in overall cognitive function. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease, accounting for about half of cases. There is also a category of mild cognitive impairment (or cognitive impairment not dementia) that is milder and does not meet the diagnostic criteria for full dementia.
Although the cause of Alzheimer’s disease isn’t known, plaques and tangles are often found in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s. Plaques are clumps of a protein called beta amyloid and tangles are fibrous tangles made up of tau protein.

There are about four drugs known today that are used to eliminate beta amyloid. Recently, scientist and medical doctors started recognizing that those drugs are ineffective for delaying or curing the disease. It is like prescribing a drug to reduce fever where the fever is the symptom showing that the body is fighting an illness. Bottom line, Beta amyloid is a protective response and those drugs do not address the cause of the problem.

There is a global recognition that dementia can be cured treating the source of the disease by applying multi-disciplinary therapies.

Dementia can be caused by heavy metal toxicity found in water and the environment, pesticides, the herbicide glyphosate, alcohol abuse or recreational drugs, chronic infections, low levels of magnesium (most people living in North America are deficient of) vitamin D, E and the B’s, fungi and molds found in homes, crops and animals, Candida albicans, parasites, insufficient thyroid hormone, also not unusual (can be addressed with iodine supplement), deficiencies in other hormones such as pregnenolone, DHEA, testosterone and estrogen impact memory and cognitive function as well, sugars and its associated substitutes, Lyme disease, herpes, leaky gut, lack of sleep, and more.

In homeopathy we look at the wholistic approach to an illness to find a matching remedy. This approach includes the individual’s environment and lifestyle.
Common symptoms addressed in homeopathy indicating possible dementia are
· Memory loss, which is usually noticed by a spouse or someone else
· Difficulty communicating or finding words
· Difficulty reasoning or problem-solving
· Difficulty handling complex tasks
· Difficulty with planning and organizing
· Difficulty with coordination and motor functions
· Confusion and disorientation
· Personality changes
· Depression
· Anxiety
· Inappropriate behavior
· Paranoia
· Agitation
· Hallucinations

Also, supplementation with forms of B vitamins, specifically methyl B6, B9 (folate) and B12, as well as eating a diet high in folate can promote detoxification. Vitamin C is an important factor to combat stress and eliminate pathogens on a daily basis. Coconut oil, which contains medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), together with fish oil help maintain the brain cells lubricated.

There are many botanical medicines that stimulate healthy brain function. Some of the most well-known are Gingko biloba and Bombyx Mori, which enhance cerebral circulation; Bacopa, known as Brahmi in Indian Ayurvedic medicine, promotes nerve growth and signaling; the mushroom Lion’s Mane, found locally in New England woods, is a brain tonic that stimulates the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF); Eleutherococcus senticosus, commonly referred to as Siberian Ginseng and ashwagandha are powerful adaptogen that balance and restore physiological processes, increasing energy and reducing the effects of stress. Rhodiola is another powerful adaptogen that promotes on the one hand stimulates cognition and promotes memory while helping to calm the emotions.
