Covid: homeopaths, ‘in this phase most requests for help against anxiety and insomnia’

Rome, April 9 (beraking latest news Salute) – “Since the beginning of the pandemic, our patients have asked for therapies to strengthen their immune system, but now the request for help against psychological problems, first of all anxiety and insomnia, is growing stronger”. Thus Simonetta Bernardini, president of the Italian Society of Homeopathy and Integrated Medicine (Siomi), on the eve of World Homeopathy Day, which is celebrated on 10 April. The expert explains to beraking latest news Salute how, in particular, to strengthen the body’s defenses “we work as always on the basic remedy of each one” but also on the “remedy of the so-called epidemic genius”.

Currently – the homeopathic doctors inform – the search for the ‘epidemic genius’ aims to find the remedy, or group of remedies, which in an epidemic and collective pathology (symptoms common to almost all manifestations) is the most suitable / indicated (in this case detected from acute isolated cases). Except for nuances to be verified case by case, the ‘epidemic genius’ can be used for the community as if it were a single individual. “To this end – reports Bernardini – various groups of homeopaths have joined the international project coordinated by the European Committee of Homeopathy to collect the therapies started in the various clinical studies and examine their common rationale”.

In this sense goes the experience of the homeopathy clinic in Pitigliano, in the province of Grosseto, of which Bernardini is responsible, the first center in Italy where homeopathy and acupuncture are practiced for hospitalized citizens. Having to choose a remedy in the absence of symptoms, the experts investigated and applied to the patient the examination of the psycho-behavioral and general aspects habitual in health and in previous illnesses.

Some more present in patients have emerged such as: fear of death, perfectionism (‘mania’ of cleanliness) or extreme coldness; profound prostration which also manifests itself with low-grade fever and anticipatory diarrhea; tendency to develop non-Covid respiratory diseases with joint problems and desire for immobility, cough (when present) that hurts in the chest; in case of onset disease (and not diagnosed as Covid 19) feeling of broken bones during fever and improvement after sweating. Thus, the ‘prevention campaign’ began in September, alongside the anti-flu one, with preventive protocols and ad hoc immunity reinforcement.
