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.

Treating Mental Symptoms with Homeopathic Remedies

Homeopathic treatment for mental illnesses is the gentlest and at the same time the most efficient approach without causing any side effects or addiction to the remedies. As soon as the person feels better, there is no need to continue taking the remedy. There are many remedies that will help with the mental illness and a few will be addressed in this article.

Aconitum Napellus

Is one of the of the famous remedies, 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 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 (gold)

Is for a person that 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.

Nux Vomica

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 mind 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 anxiety 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.

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

Mental Illness 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 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 anxiety. For example, deep breathing exercises can help reduce anxiety 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.
