Homeopathy for fear of flying

These remedies can help if you or your child feel anxious and fearful before or during a flight.

For chronic fear and anxiety, you may need a different remedy to help resolve a deeper issue. This is where I can be of help. Treating chronic anxiety is where a professional homeopath is needed, not something you should attempt to treat yourself.

If the symptoms start days ahead of the flight, give one dose daily, and more frequent dosing the day of the flight.
