Need Help With My Imbalance...?!
Question:
Need Help With My Imbalance...?
My homeopath found that my female system was imbalanced. She recommended a couple of remedies. I think that this imbalance causes my anxiety and depression. I need help really bad. Does any homeopath's have any suggestions on what I can try? I am assuming female system means, female reproductive organs. Thank you for your help.

Angelina,
Imbalances can cause a multitude of issues -- ALSO, dietary imbalances, mineral imbalances, and vitamin imbalances. Many imbalances can help with a diet change, helping to correct them... More natural and organic diets help in this area substantially...
Think carefully about what you eat, here are some recommendations: (http://www.jigsawhealth.com/articles/anx...
* Choose high-quality, organic, hormone- and antibiotic-free “grass-fed” meats.
* Increase your omega-3 essential fatty acids by selecting flax seed, wild-caught salmon, minimal-mercury albacore tuna, fish oil, avocados, and sprouted walnuts.
* Add plenty of dark-green leafy, organic vegetables to your diet.
* Add healthy saturated fats to your diet, such as organic virgin coconut oil.
* Eat complex carbohydrates that digest slowly and gradually increase blood sugar levels, such as asparagus, spinach, sweet potatoes, squash, and raw apples.
* Add nutrient-dense, sprouted nuts and seeds to your diet.
* Choose organic, cage-free eggs.
* Choose dairy items that have live, active cultures (probiotics), such as organic, unpasteurized yogurt and kefir (as long as you’re not allergic to dairy).
* Drink purified water throughout the day.
Foods to AVOID include:
* All stimulants:
o Limited caffeine from coffee, tea, and caffeinated sodas – Caffeine can interfere with healthy sleep patterns, especially when taken in the evening hours.
o Tobacco products – Cigarettes contain over 4,000 chemicals, many of which cause anxiety and disrupt sleep.
o Stimulant drugs – Some over-the-counter and prescription medications may contain caffeine. Side effects of some medications include anxiety, insomnia, and restlessness. If you are taking medications, consult your pharmacist about anxiety as a possible side effect. Also, stimulant recreational drugs or “uppers” such as cocaine increase anxiety and can produce panic attacks.
* Sweetened fruit juices, since they spike blood sugar levels too rapidly – Opt for whole fruit instead to benefit from its healthy fiber.
* Limited intake of fruits that have a high glycemic index such as apricots, raisins, banana, papaya, and mango.
* All products containing refined sugar and artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, Splenda®, etc. Choose a natural sweetener like Xylosweet instead.
* All simple or refined carbohydrates (white bread, pasta, cookies, cakes, crackers, etc.) – Read more about good carbs and bad carbs.
* Alcoholic beverages in excess since they interfere with normal sleep patterns
* Carbonated soft drinks that cause blood pH levels to become acidic
* Bottom crawlers, such as oysters, clams, and lobster, that may contain toxic levels of mercury
* Deep-sea fish such as tuna, mackerel, and swordfish, that may contain toxic levels of mercury. Choose minimal-mercury albacore tuna instead.
* Farm-raised fish that contain PCBs and not enough omega-3 essential fatty acids, due to their land-based diets. Choose wild-caught salmon instead.
* Sodium nitrite found in processed foods such as hot dogs, lunch meats, and bacon
* Monosodium glutamate (MSG) found in many foods as a flavor enhancer
* Hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils (trans fats) found in many processed foods, deep-fried foods, fast foods, and junk food – Read more about good fats and bad fats.
