Every home should have a good selection of remedies on hand for use during these stressful exam times. All my children have enjoyed the benefits of homeopathic remedies before and during tests and examinations, which help them to feel relaxed, capable, confident and clear thinking. Learn more about these with our great range of remedies available to you from The Remedy Shoppe.
The symptoms of stress are caused by the hormone adrenaline which prepares the body for the flight and fight reaction – a certain amount of which is beneficial and assists us in ‘winning the race’. However, it may also bring on negative feelings, emotions and even physical symptoms which may include anxiety, apprehension or nervous dread, brain fog, weak memory, fear, anger or irritability, over-active mind, sweating, the urgent need to urinate, sleeplessness and even exhaustion.
There are several remedies available to help you and your family survive exam time. These can be taken every half an hour in extreme cases. Hint – Mums and dads – you can also use this remedy for any kind of panic attack or anxiety (and even road rage!)
