Examination Anxiety

The Stress Of Exams

The time is upon us when our children, and some of us adults are getting stressed about exams. The way the stress affects us will decide which remedy will be most helpful for us.

As a first aid remedy take a pillule as needed, as you recognise that you are becoming short tempered or angry or irritable.
For first aid use choose 30c potency and take up to 3 times a day … but only if needed.
Watch your reactions and ask other family members to help. Don’t take a remedy if you don’t need it.
