In order to find the right remedy we would usually want to match the remedy to more than one symptom. Whilst experiencing brain fog, I would want to know your emotions. I would ask you about happiness, grief and lack of emotion. I would want to know how you feel about yourself and how you feel about family and friends. You can see that finding the right remedy may be complex and may be difficult for you to do on your own.

In order to address the cause of the issues it will be necessary to work with a homeopath who can see areas that you might not see yourself. Together you will peel back the layers of health so that you can find and address the original cause.
