If you have been through a traumatic experience, know well that you are not alone. For those who follow the news, you will know that my city, Beirut, has experienced its share of shocking and traumatic events over the past few years. As a result, one of the most common issues I am consulted for is chronic, unresolved grief, a condition that quietly undermines both emotional balance and physical health.

Holistic healing through homeopathy

Homeopathy is a natural form of medicine that has been used for over 200 years to treat the whole person rather than just isolated symptoms. At its core, it is based on the understanding that illness is not merely a physical condition, but also a reflection of how an individual is coping with life.

In contrast, most modern treatments today tend to focus on alleviating specific symptoms without addressing the underlying mental or emotional causes. This is where the concept of the psychosomatic connection becomes essential. Science increasingly recognizes that the mind and emotions have a profound influence on the physical body.

By treating the person as an integrated whole, mind, body, and emotions, homeopathy seeks to promote genuine and lasting healing. This holistic approach not only relieves physical symptoms, but can also lead to a deeper transformation in overall well-being.

Homeopathy and emotional healing

Homeopathy shines when it comes to addressing the deep emotional wounds that often underlie physical illness, particularly shock, fright, trauma, and grief. These emotional states can have lasting effects on both the mind and body, and modern medicine often struggles to fully alleviate them.

Hypothyroidism after chronic unresolved grief

One of my first cases in 2025 was a 45-year-old woman, Z.G., who came to me with hypothyroidism. She occasionally experienced intense fits of anger, and her thyroid function tests showed elevated TSH levels, indicating an underactive thyroid. During our consultation, she shared the profound losses she had endured, the deaths of her father and brother.

The consultation process is central to homeopathic practice. It is where my clients and I work together to uncover the deeper emotional or psychological roots of their physical symptoms. My training allows me to identify connections that may not always be apparent from a conventional medical perspective.

In Z.G.’s case, it became clear that her prolonged, unresolved grief was at the heart of both her emotional turmoil and her thyroid imbalance. After administering a carefully selected homeopathic remedy aimed at addressing grief, her TSH levels gradually returned to normal and have remained stable ever since. Remarkably, she has not experienced another episode of uncontrollable anger.

Mental confusion after grief

Another memorable case I encountered in the summer of 2025 involved a 68-year-old woman, J.N., who came to me suffering from mental confusion and persistent physical pain. About half an hour into our consultation, it became clear that her symptoms stemmed from deep, unresolved grief, feelings she had kept bottled up for years.

I administered a single dose of a homeopathic remedy for grief, and within minutes, her entire demeanor shifted. She relaxed her posture, began to express her emotions freely, and seemed to transform right before my eyes. Later, she called to thank me warmly for the relief she experienced during that session.

Grief and shock after a positive HIV diagnosis

Not all grief arises from the loss of loved ones. A few years ago, I treated a young man who experienced profound shock and despair after being diagnosed with HIV. He described the situation as feeling like he lost his entire life. Although some might not label this as grief, his body told the story. He suffered from daily diarrhea, insomnia, loss of appetite, and severe anxiety about being alone.

During our consultation, I offered him a homeopathic remedy for grief, adding it to his tea. The next day, he called to tell me that his diarrhea had completely stopped, his appetite returned, and that he finally felt calm enough to resume his normal life.

Healing psychosomatic symptoms following sexual trauma

One of the most emotionally challenging cases I have worked with involved a 35-year-old woman, G.H., presenting with a range of symptoms, daily diarrhea, immediate bloating after eating anything, insomnia, shoulder-to-arm pain, and menstrual irregularities.

During our consultation, she revealed that she had been raped many years earlier and had already undergone psychotherapy. However, her lingering physical symptoms, especially those affecting the lower area of her body, suggested that the trauma was still being held in.

I prescribed a daily dose of a homeopathic remedy specifically indicated for shock and trauma of this nature. Within two weeks, she reported a remarkable improvement. Her diarrhea stopped, her bloating normalized, her pain subsided, and her sleep returned to normal.

Empowering

Miraculous healing, as such, is easy with homeopathy only because the body is able to return to its natural state of balance. The remedies we give are personalized for each case, supporting the body’s return to harmony. In a word, it is empowering. Few healing modalities compare to homeopathy when it comes to addressing shock and trauma. It is truly inspiring to witness the transformation on my clients’ faces as they heal and rediscover their power and vitality.

The silver lining is that humans are remarkably resilient. Despite the odds, life finds a way to move forward. And when the time is right, healing emerges, bringing with it the hope of feeling whole once again.
