Episode 191: Why Panic Attacks Happen and How Homeopathy Can Help with Danilo Tortora

In this episode, host Mary is joined by Danilo Tortora, a unique practitioner who combines his backgrounds as a homeopath, psychologist, and former midwife. They explore the rising tide of anxiety in children and how a holistic, psychological approach using homeopathy for panic attack symptoms can provide deep healing. The Hidden Face of Anxiety in Children Anxiety isn't always obvious in young children because they often lack the words to express their feelings. Danilo explains that it frequently manifests as psychosomatic symptoms—emotional distress that presents in the body. Common signs to watch for include: Physical Complaints: Recurrent stomachaches and headaches. Behavioral Changes: Irritability, "clinginess," or sudden emotional outbursts and tantrums. Performance Issues: Difficulty concentrating on homework or a "fear of failure". Physical Cues: A racing heart (palpitations) or trembling. Homeopathy vs. Conventional Approaches Unlike traditional medicine, which may suppress symptoms, Homeopathy247 aims to restore balance to the body's "vital force". Homeopathy looks for the maintaining cause—the underlying event or environmental factor (like school stress or even mold) that keeps the anxiety active. Key Remedies for Anxiety and Panic Danilo highlights several remedies based on how a child uniquely responds to stress: Aconite: For panic that comes on suddenly with intense fear or shock. Argentum Nitricum: For "anticipatory anxiety" involving overthinking, talkativeness, or digestive issues before a big event like school. Gelsemium: For performance anxiety marked by weakness, trembling, and a desire to be quiet. Baryta Carb: Often helpful for shy children who struggle to thrive or have intense fears of loud noises.
