Homeopathy Clearing the Confusion

How do you experience confusion?

Confusion affects us in different ways and at different times.

Is your mind confused because it is full of thoughts or are your thoughts blurred and your mind foggy. Do you get confused at particular times or does confusion make you hungry or hunger makes you feel ‘foggy’ headed? Is your memory affected? Do you become more anxious? Do you wake up feeling light headed or heavy headed? Do you find making decisions really difficult, do you find the world closes in around you when you are out in busy places?

When looking for a homeopathic remedy the way you experience your symptoms is how you can distinguish the remedy you need. If you are looking for a remedy to help someone else then asking the right questions will lead to particular remedies. To look for a remedy for yourself for confused mind might prove difficult in itself and lead to more confusion, so you might need to ask for help.
