What Is Homeopathy and How Can It Help With Post-Divorce Stress?
One of the most difficult transitions you may ever face is a divorce. And let’s face it: divorce is trauma. Post-traumatic stress disorder is not uncommon in divorce, and treatment of PTSD can take many forms.
While there will be a lot of healing that needs to be done, it can sometimes seem like an insurmountable task. You can turn to the power of homeopathy to help break the cycle of post-divorce stress.
Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine that uses plants and minerals to restore balance in your body. It works by attempting to stimulate your body’s natural healing process and helping you find relief from uncomfortable symptoms. When it comes to post-divorce stress, homeopathic remedies can help address the underlying emotional issues that contribute to the feelings of anxiety and depression that often come up in this situation.
Homeopathic remedies are found in many forms, including:
- tinctures
- pellets
- creams
- ointments
- and teas
There’s sure to be one that meets your needs and preferences. In addition, because these remedies are natural and non-invasive, you don’t need a prescription or even a visit to your doctor; you can explore this treatment option on your own terms.
The Benefits of Using Homeopathy
Are you looking for a way to help process and move through the difficult emotions and unexpected trauma associated with divorce? Homeopathy can provide an effective means of releasing those stuck feelings, while also helping to improve your overall emotional and physical health.
You see, homeopathy is a holistic therapy that looks at the body and mind as an interconnected system. That means that when you approach healing from a mind-body perspective, you can achieve more meaningful results—including combating traumatic stress and boosting your overall well-being.
It does this by engaging the body’s own healing mechanisms to release trauma. Through homeopathic remedies and counseling, you can take action in your own self-care and harness the power of homeopathy to aid in overcoming post-divorce stress.
Common Homeopathic Remedies to Try
Now you know why homeopathy is beneficial in helping process an emotional response, let’s look at which kinds of remedies can help when dealing with divorce stress.
The best remedy is the one that speaks directly to the individual’s problem—since homeopathic remedies use energy to activate healing, it needs to be tailored to your specific needs. However, homeopathy also offers some commonly recommended appropriate remedies that have been shown to positively affect those going through divorce-related stress.
Ignatia Amara
Ignatia Amara is a go-to remedy for those dealing with grief and sadness; it helps those who need a “safe space” for emotions to come out. This remedy is often recommended for people who are feeling overwhelmed, who are dealing with anxiety or depression, or who need help regulating their emotions.
Natrum Muriaticum
Natrum Muriaticum is often prescribed to those who are struggling with fear, guilt, and anger related to past trauma or current situations. This remedy can help reduce feelings of helplessness and confusion associated with certain events, as well as help deal with flashbacks and nightmares.
Calcarea Carbonica
Calcarea Carbonica helps soothe the nervous system, allowing the body to recover more quickly from acute shock and extreme stress. This remedy can also be used to release buried memories that can sometimes lead to physical issues such as muscle tension and fatigue.
Other homeopathic remedies that may be recommended: aconite (aconitum) for panic attacks and fear of “life’s little traumas” and arsenicum for restlessness and insecurity.
Again, I cannot stress enough that individualized plans are important–when dealing with grief and emotional trauma that comes with divorce, there are so many unique situations. Humans are beautiful, messy people! And our treatment plans aren’t all the same for a reason. The right remedy for you may be different when treating an emotional shock than it could be for another.

The Importance of Maintaining Physical and Mental Health When Dealing With Post-Divorce Stress
When dealing with post-divorce stress, it is important that you maintain both physical and mental health.
Homeopathy is a great way to help manage post-divorce stress because it can help reduce body tension and improve overall well-being. It can also help you relax and let go of negative thoughts associated with divorce, such as anger, resentment, and sadness. Additionally, homeopathic remedies can help improve your mental clarity so you can focus on making progress and healing from your divorce, and they can often treat patients suffering years of negative emotional states.
Here are some ways that you can use homeopathy to manage post-divorce stress with complementary and alternative therapies:
Acupressure
Acupressure involves applying pressure to specific points on the body in order to promote relaxation and healing. You can find acupressure points all over your body, including behind your ears, on your wrists, hands, feet, and neck. Stimulating these points can help relieve stress while improving overall circulation throughout your body.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is another homeopathic therapy that uses fragrant essential oils to promote relaxation and healing. Essential oils come from plants and flowers, which contain natural compounds that can provide powerful healing benefits for the mind and body. To use aromatherapy for managing post-divorce stress, simply add several drops of an essential oil into a diffuser or blend with a carrier oil (such as olive or coconut) and use on skin.
Using acupressure and aromatherapy in conjunction with homeopathy can increase effectiveness for each, and you’ll tend to do better when you combine any treatments dealing with strong emotions.
Tips to Keep in Mind When Starting a Homeopathic Treatment Plan
Once you’ve consulted a professional homeopath and come up with a plan, here are some tips to keep in mind while starting your treatment:
- Be consistent – take your remedy as prescribed and at the same time each day, even if you don’t think you’re feeling any effects yet.
- Have patience – homeopathy works better when taken over time, so be patient and trust that your body is responding and healing in its own unique way. Healing PTSD symptoms can be complex!
- Be open to new experiences – the longer you stay on the plan, the more profound the healing may become. Keep an open mind and avoid judging your progress too quickly or too harshly.
- Track your progress – whether it’s through journaling or just writing notes about how you’re feeling each day, tracking your responses allows for better conversations with your homeopath about what is or isn’t working for you in terms of treatment plans and regimen changes.
If homeopathy resonates with you as an effective tool to use in releasing trauma from divorce or other life experiences, start by finding a qualified practitioner who can help guide you through this journey of healing from within.
Conclusion
Homeopathy for trauma offers an effective way to unlock and release painful emotions and experiences from the past. While it’s not a complete treatment for PTSD that comes from divorce, it’s a powerful healing aid. By taking an individualized approach, homeopathy is able to target the very root of post-divorce stress and help you begin to heal.
Whether you are in the thick of post-divorce trauma or if you are attempting to untangle the threads of a life-altering event, homeopathy can be a powerful tool in helping you refresh and start anew. With the right homeopathic remedies and professional guidance, you can take control of the stress and anxieties associated with divorce, and move forward in life with a newfound perspective.
