Introduction
My practice as a homeopath enabled me to see diverse chronic diseases gridlock people’s life. One such stressor is Misophonia, an extremely strong reaction to certain sounds. In this paper, I will reveal as much as I know about misophonia, its reasons, symptoms, and greater associations. I will also throw light on the problems of established treatments and emphasize the use of homeopathy to decrease misophonia symptoms.
Causes of Misophonia
While it is not precise what is the main factor of misophonia occurrence, it was suggested that it can be connected with:
Unnatural link between the auditorial part of the brain and the cortical system involved in memory and emotions
During the course of a particular disease, particular individuals’ vulnerability to specific sounds could increase
Genetic reasons are probable
Post-traumatic experiences related to a certain source of noise
Symptoms of Misophonia
Some of the most common symptoms of misophonia include:
Presence of anger or puntual irritation induced by certain sounds
Confusion and panic as soon as the sounds of the trigger come on
The speeding up of a heart rate or remaining tense can be observed
Avoidance of places where trigger sounds may take place
Focus is disturbed when there is noise from trigger sounds
Complications of Misophonia
The consequences of untreated misophonia may involve:
Isolation and difficulty in managing relationships with others
Overall decrease in the standard of both work and school
Beginning of anxiety disorders or depression
Affected social life
Disadvantages of Conventional Treatments
The use of typical methods has a few disadvantages in the treatment of misophonia:
The low efficiency of the overall treatment package is due to the absence of a definite therapeutic protocol
Probable by-effects of medicament
Long time therapy would be quite expensive
Currently, most of the pain management therapy programs that stand out nowadays center on controlling the symptoms such as pain, stress, and anxiety, instead of tackling the causes of the problem
Benefits of Homeopathy for Misophonia
Homeopathy provides various advantages in the treatment of misophonia:
Personalized treatment program
No side outcomes
The cause of the problem is tackled
Improves the general state of health
A cost-effective manner of dealing with the problem in the long run
Detailed Description of 10 Homeopathic Medicines for Misophonia
Nux Vomica: This remedy, popular among those who get troubled listening to sound, is very effective in overcoming the problem. It provisions detachment and relieves the mind from the bothering ears ringing. Nux Vomica has the side effects of being irritable and is usually followed by the time of a meal or at the morning only on those people who are already tense and irate.
Lycopodium: This medicine is clearly a gem of the modern era of mental health and well-being since the patients mostly describe the problem exactly by the word we are talking about when they visit us. It helps reduce anxiety and improves confidence. The medicine is a golden oldie that moreover feels bad in the evening verses being in the morning.
Natrum Muriaticum: This remedy will be beneficial for all such people who themselves are diseased due to their thoughts. Moreover, the life of a hypersensitive person becomes better as the thoughts have become balanced. This is a homeopathic remedy that will beautify the vibration of sound in a most powerful way giving the feeling "I am that sound". Natrum Muriaticum is suitable for fans of solitude that are not seen at masquerades or fan lonely homes that are later on seen.
Phosphorus: A woman of spectral vision condition which is apt to grow weary from long sickness and weakness is a fine example of such condition. Furthermore, when people are ill and are in a very weakened state, they are very susceptible to emotional spoilers of their environment such as loving kindness but not showing appreciation or gratitude for their condition. Phosphorus is beneficial for those who are stress, anxious and restless, especially during thunderstorms.
Theridion: This medicine is identified for the treatment of the person of social sensitivity to a bigger extent than other human beings. Particularly, the intensity of the reactions to sound issues. Theridion is the first thing to be mentioned to people that feel like they have vertigo or nausea together with sound sensitivity.
Argentum Nitricum: A young man whose most frequent question of acceptance is related to the victims of the phobia and LSD is the main character of this real-life story. It doesn't matter whether it is LSD only that overshadows your projected life but things get worse when you also have a low-level paranoia about being among people. Argentum Nitricum is a cure for those who have a fear of dark, narrow places and crowds that wouldnt leave even a person who is their savior.
Calcarea Carbonica: This remedy is divine for the people who tend to avoid noisy environments due to their over sensitivity. This not only frees patients from the impact of noise but also makes them come to peace with life. Calcarea Carbonica does well for the people who get too much of everything and dislike the unexpected changes or are over-reliant on the sameness.
Coffea Cruda: One possibility for a misguiding effect of an artistically distorted cityscape would be when artists use optical illusions on a public building or other public installations. Insomnia is the American city word made of a great deal of popularity. Coffea Cruda is of great use for people who find a great brightness in their minds but have bodies that are very tired.
Kali Phosphoricum: I have realized that the use of iPhone and computers can contribute to the problem patients are facing nowadays with the unceasing ringing of ears. Many of the patients suffer from the lack of energy during the whole day noticed mostly during the intellectual activities. Kali Phosphoricum is helpful for those who mind is the main thing that wears them down when they are finished with thinking.
Silicea: A doctor or a professional healer with profound knowledge and experience plus medicine which is of the highest grade all at ones disposal is the first remedy for this sick individual. This in turn empowers their nervous systems in which the sensory processing includes a lower/milder response to the auditory stimuli. The person gets feelings of relaxation, they are peaceful as if nothing could stress them, their only problem is the fear of getting tired. Silicea is useful for people who are oversensitive and have no self-confidence among other problems in their life.
5 Common FAQs about Misophonia and Homeopathy
Q: How effective is homeopathy in treating misophonia?
A: Homeopathy is often an option in the treatment of misophonia. It treats the whole person, not just the symptoms. A very reasonable treatment option for patients was homeopathy that worked through sound sensitivity to get to recovery. Homeopathic remedies address the body and brain imbalances, the most efficient way to reduce the reaction to the triggers.
Q: Are there any side effects of homeopathic treatment for misophonia?
A: The respondents all agreed on the point that homeopathy is the safest. There are not any side effects that might touch you when you take standard drugs. Whether it is at the cellular or organ level, it does not cause a deficiency of nutrients and metabolic processes, and the immune system is preserved. I have been regularly using homeopathy for misophonia and I can say I haven't seen any reports of bad reactions.
Q: How long does it take to see results with homeopathic treatment?
A: It can vary for each individual how much time they need to see the changes. Some patients noticed an improvement in their condition after just a few weeks of treatment. To others, it could take several months for them to get well. A hole in one's immune system is among their common reasons why the effects of treatment may not last very long. Nevertheless, the upsurge often lasts for longer periods than quick fixes.
Q: Can homeopathy cure misophonia completely?
A: We could be cautious about the cure but homeopathy can develop the difference. A high percentage of patients whom I saw reported a noticeable improvement in their misophonia symptoms. Some of them have even reported that they don't even feel the trigger sounds anymore. Homeopathy works to increase the body's natural ability to correct the misbalances leading to a cure that can last.
Q: How is homeopathic treatment different from conventional treatments for misophonia?
A: Unlike the mainstream treatments, homeopathy considers the patient as a whole entity and therefore studies all the symptoms. We explore all your symptoms, not just the sound sensitivity. The medication is safe and painless. Also, unlike some treatments that merely mitigate the symptoms, homeopathy seeks to harmonize your body and mind. As a result, a person might be in a better overall health condition and consequently they may develop less misophonia.
