In this episode of Homeopathy 247, Mary Greensmith speaks with Nour Azem about anxiety and how homoeopathy offers a gentle and natural way to find balance. Nour explains her simple two-step approach to managing anxiety—helping with the immediate symptoms and then addressing the deeper roots. The conversation is warm, practical, and filled with insights that make this big subject feel approachable.

Step One: Supporting the Present Moment

Nour describes the first stage of healing as helping people deal with anxiety in the moment. Often, anxiety shows up as racing thoughts, sweaty palms, or even unsettling dreams before a big event.

With the right remedy, the body and mind are gently reminded to rebalance. It’s almost as if the remedy allows people to pause, breathe, and refocus on the present instead of being trapped in worries. Nour encourages simple practices alongside remedies—such as mindful breathing and journaling—to notice what triggered the anxiety and to process it before it grows.

This first step is about awareness: recognising when anxiety shows up and knowing that support is available.

Step Two: Going Deeper into Chronic Anxiety

The second step, Nour explains, is about addressing the root causes of chronic anxiety. Here, homoeopathy takes a holistic approach, looking not just at current symptoms but at a person’s whole life story.

This deeper work might involve exploring childhood patterns, past traumas, inherited tendencies, or long-term disappointments. Nour describes how she builds a full picture—connecting emotional, mental, and physical health—before prescribing a remedy that matches the person’s overall state.

Examples include:

• Someone who always puts others first and suppresses emotions might need Pulsatilla.
• A perfectionist who fears losing control might benefit from Arsenicum.

The goal is to break cycles, build resilience, and give people the strength to manage life’s challenges more calmly in the future.

Anxiety in Families and Children

Mary and Nour also discuss how anxiety can be “contagious.” Children often mirror the emotions of parents or pick up the general atmosphere of the household. Modern life—with its fast pace, technology, and reduced playtime—adds further strain.

During lockdowns, many children (and adults) experienced loneliness, which Nour highlights as one of the biggest drivers of anxiety. This shows why it’s so important to address not only symptoms but also the environment and lifestyle contributing to stress.

Gentle, Natural Support

Nour reassures listeners that they are not alone. Anxiety may feel overwhelming, but homoeopathy provides a safe, natural, and individualised path forward. She also shares news about her free ebook on anxiety and mentions upcoming webinars and the Homeopathy 247 conference, where people can learn more and ask questions in a supportive space.

Anxiety often stops people from living life fully. With this two-step approach—treating immediate symptoms and uncovering deeper patterns—homoeopathy offers a way to release old habits, restore resilience, and step into a calmer future.
