Homeopathy and Emotional First Aid
Homeopathy has a well-established reputation in addressing physical trauma and first aid. It can also be highly beneficial in cases requiring emotional first aid, such as acute shock, anger, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. If self-treatment does not provide rapid relief or if the emotional trauma is long-term, professional care should be considered.
