Addictions are a way people compensate for the pain they feel. It is important to find and identify the 

Pain. Most people medicate their pain because they feel it is too hard to deal with, and don’t see 

A solution. Most people don’t know where to look for help. There may be shame involved. 

Where a person doesn’t feel they are worthy of help. 

Alcohol, drugs, or other addictive behaviours are only a temporary fix. One has to continue the 

Substances or behaviours to feel some relief from their pain. We are conditioned to “put a band-aid” 

On problems in our society. The best way out, again, is to find and identify your emotional 

Pain, preferably with a competent counsellor. This can help with anything from drugs and alcohol. 

Addictions to overeating and pain medication. 

We will explore some natural substances that can help to calm both emotions and pain while 

You explore your cause and work on removing your pain. Some of the natural tools to 

Use while you are exploring are homoeopathic remedies, flower essences, herbs, and nutrition. 

Homoeopathic remedies can bring balance to the mind as well as the body. 

George Vithoulkas, a major contemporary contributor to the growth of homoeopathy, states: 

“Health is freedom from pain in the physical body, having attained a state of well-being; freedom. 

from passion on the emotional level, having as a result a dynamic state of serenity and calm; 

and freedom from selfishness in the mental sphere, having as a result total unification with 

Truth.” 

Remember the principles of homoeopathy: 

1. Like cures like (Law of Similars); 

2. The more a remedy is diluted, the greater its potency (Law of the Infinitesimal Dose); 

3. An illness is specific to the individual (a holistic medical model)
