HOMEOPATHY AND MORE, FOR GAMBLING
Generally when we speak of addiction we are talking about drug and alcohol addiction, but of course there are more addictions out there than you could image…addictions to food, shopping, sex, and gambling, just to name of few.
Gambling is a tough one- it is often not an obvious addiction because it could be easy to hide from many, and may not even take place every day. It can be a financially devastating addiction with far reaching destruction, as out of control gamblers will resort to anything and everything to get money…draining personal bank accounts, mortgaging the house, selling personal items like jewelry, and let us not forget embezzling, or ‘ye ol ponzi scheme’, which might include further screwing friends and family! As with most addictions, the person who has the gambling problem spirals downward in a mast of continuous self destructive behavior which has psychological, physical and social ramifications which affects all those close to him or her.
In researching this piece, I found out that gamblers often have a fear of heights. Gamblers dream of rising to a high place financially, yet suffer from a terrible fear of falling all the way back down. In one case history I read about, a man with a raging gambling habit was being treated by a psychiatric homeopathist. Veratrum album was used successfully, although not until 2 or 3 other remedies had previously failed. In this particular case, finally, one month after taking one single dose of 200c, the man reported hardly thinking about gambling at all. The ‘trying’ of remedies is not a guessing game. A very strict rubrics, as well as experience with many remedies and many years, is used in remedy selection by those classically trained, but finding the best fit on the first try, just does not always happen.

What else can we do to help those with the gambling addiction? Of course there are many things…
- Bach flower remedies– match your traits to the essence that most fits your own self. You can read about the attributes of each flower, and decide which fits the best. I recommend Yellow Canna Lily which is an excellent remedy for breaking the cycle of addiction.
- Homeopathy– We already talked about Veratrum album, but there are over 5,000 remedies to choose from, so I suggest you consult a professional for guidance
- Chakra balancing– Gambler or not, everyone can benefit- across the board- from Chakra balancing. You can have this professionally done, or you can use a Chakra balancing dowsing chart, essential oils, or there are radionics charts you can put a subject on, to balance Chakras. The choice is yours.
- Hypnosis– we have all heard of it, but what is it really? It is a tranquil state of focus which can be shaped by the individual or a psychoanalyst, putting the subject in a daydream-like state through that he/ she is further vulnerable to suggestions. It helps the person set and to also strengthen these objectives and how to complete them. It is completely individual weather or not this modality works.
- Mindfulness therapy helps the client achieve a mental state by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.
