Shobana: what is anxiety?

Naran, Balakumar: Anxiety is a state where one experiences worry – thus Agrimony is to be considered in Anxiety disorder.

Remedy

In anxiety state one becomes uneasy. Uneasy is a state where one cannot remain static; he has to move constantly. Restlessness sets in.

Restlessness is the key word for Impatiens. Add IMPATIENS.

In states of anxiety one constantly worries. “Constant’ is the key word for WHITE CHESTNUT. Add White chestnut.

There may be some apprehension or concern too. Apprehension means fear about what might happen. (Refer Oxford).

Therefore in anxiety state, a person constantly experiences worry, becomes fearful, uneasy and restless. If the fear is specific add MIMULUS.

If it is unspecific, add ASPEN; if it is about the safety of others add REDCHESTNUT.

Thus, the remedies to be considered in anxiety are: AGRIMONY, IMPATIENS, WHITE CHESTNUT plus any remedy for fear.

CRAB APPLE can be added too, as it goes hand in hand with White chestnut.
