Nux Vomica ROCKS for adrenals/stress

[mellowjello]

I just started taking Nux Vomica (a homeopathic remedy) for adrenal stress and I am amazed. I have been trying to get myself off of supplemental cortisol for six months. I have weaned myself off of it in 5 days and I feel great. I am still taking the DHEA, but I just cannot believe how much better I feel. So much less irritable/jittery. SO worth trying for $8 at Whole Foods.

Just taking this, though, is not enough. I also have to address the underlying cause of my adrenal stress or else the remedy won't keep working for me, it will just get worse again. That's the next part!

How did you decide it fit you personally? Or do you think it's more general for adrenal issues?

This is really timely because I'm not sure if my adrenals just took a hit, or it's just a weird dehydration/something I've got going on, but my BP just dropped (and I'm having dizziness/weakness issues) and I'm having to work to keep it up now. Maybe it's temporary? Just a few days so I'm not sure what's going on yet, but since I'm not sure what's going on, I want to learn more.

But I'm so glad this is helping you! I saw your earlier post, but I don't know anything about getting off cortisol. I've heard it's difficult, but that's all I know.

From what I read, it is a generalized remedy for stress of modern life. In reading some of the detailed symptoms of the Materia Medica, I saw a lot of common ground with my adrenal fatigue symptoms.

You will with a LOT of remedies. You can find commonalities with just about any of the polycrests. You need to have resonance with it to have it be beneficial.

I'm also not sure on the last part. If indeed this is your remedy then why would it stop working for you?

(although she's a far better person to be saying it than I! )
The constitutional homeopath would argue that taking your constitutional remedy (assuming that's what this is for you) IS addressing the underlying problem, if I'm not mistaken as to how homeopathy "works"...
