Anxiety Disorders and the Role of Homoeopathy: Clinical Perspectives

Abstract

Background: Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent psychiatric conditions, characterized by excessive fear, worry, and associated somatic symptoms. Although conventional treatments like pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy are effective, limitations such as side effects and relapse highlight the need for complementary approaches. Objective: To review the clinical application of Homoeopathy in anxiety disorders, with emphasis on individualized prescribing and integrative relevance. Methods: A narrative review of classical Homoeopathic literature and recent research (2015–2024) was undertaken. Key remedies were analyzed in relation to clinical presentations of anxiety disorders. Results: Homoeopathy offers individualized care through remedies such as Natrum muriaticum, Stramonium, Hyoscyamus niger, Aconitum napellus, Belladonna, Calcarea carbonica, and Syphilinum. Case-based evidence suggests improvements in emotional regulation, somatic symptoms, and quality of life. Conclusion: Homoeopathy provides a valuable adjunct in the integrative management of anxiety disorders, focusing on holistic healing and long-term resilience. Further clinical studies are needed to strengthen evidence.
