St Valentine’s Day – Homeopathy for Matters of the Heart

With all the romance surrounding St Valentine’s Day, I couldn’t resist looking at the links and associations with Love, Health, the Heart and Homeopathy.

While we often think of the heart in physical terms and its role in keeping us alive, the heart is also intimately connected with processing our emotional experiences of life.  Look at the poignant phrases we commonly use to describe emotions of the heart.

• Heartbroken
• Broken heart
• A heavy heart
• Cry your heart out
• Cross my heart and hope to die
• A man after my own heart
• To one’s heart is content
• Wear your heart on your sleeve
• The heart of the matter
• Have a heart to heart
• Straight from the heart
• Eat your heart out
• Sweetheart
• Heart of gold
• Speak from your heart
• Heart-felt

Emotions have a huge impact on your health

Nowadays people have come to understand that how they feel emotionally can have a huge impact on their health.  Disappointed love, relationship breakups, divorce and family arguments are all a part of life. The emotions felt can range from sadness and anger, jealousy, to fear and anxiety , to name but a few.  We each go through our own natural healing process in coping and dealing with such matters of the heart, but sometimes when the distress becomes unbearable, or a person feels stuck or overwhelmed, help is needed.

Physical health problems & emotional stress

Unresolved emotions can also play havoc on a person’s well-being leading to a host of other problems that manifest well beyond the offending event or experience. How many people relate physical symptoms such as skin problems , periods that suddenly stopped , headaches , or digestive troubles that started or flared up after a difficult or emotional time?

Homeopathy helps speed up the healing process

As Homeopathy takes a holistic approach to health and recognises that our emotional, mental and physical health are interconnected, it can be invaluable in helping ease the distress of many of life’s emotional challenges. It does not pertain to making these emotions “go away” but it can help speed the healing and recovery process in a gentle yet powerful way.

While there are hundreds of remedies that can be used to help with emotional stress, here are ten homeopathic remedies that have a special affinity to the emotional matters of the heart.

• Aconitum napellus: an anxious heart
• Argentum nitricum:  a fearful heart
• Aurum Muriaticum: the dark, despairing heart
• Lachesis: a jealous heart
• Ignatia: a heart in turmoil or the grieving heart
• Nat Mur: unrequited love heart
• Phosphoric Acid: an apathetic heart
• Pulsatilla: the abandoned heart
• Spigelia: a sensitive heart
• Staphisagria: an indignant heart
