Often we get sick when the perception of our intimate reality does not conform to the reality we live; then internal struggles, mental or physical, emerge, which are expressed according to the predisposition of each individual.
It is not a matter of thinking that all health alterations are due to mental trauma, but that a maladjustment will tend to manifest itself differently in each person. The cure should not be to put a patch on the symptomatic expression of the moment, but to search in the depth of that being why it has reached that situation.
Classical homeopathic medicine pursues precisely this goal.: to assess which is the remedy that helps the patient to recover his global harmony. In order to mature healthily, it is essential find out what our true desires arewithout accommodating ourselves in what we already are or have, attentive to the change that we ourselves are demanding.

At the moment the incidence of diseases such as anxiety, depression or phobias is much higher than that of just a few years ago. are then prescribed anxiolytics or antidepressants that try to mitigate that expression of the most intimate of our being.

Today terms such as anguish or stress have become part of our vocabulary. Generalizing its use, a pathological picture can be confused with a transitory emotional state derived from a daily situation.
Let’s see three examples who benefited from a different approach to healing at the source.

forgiveness can heal us
Daniela felt such a feeling of anger and discomfort after an argument with his brother who immediately called the consultation.
