Stress refers to the emotional, mental, and physiological strain that occurs when external or internal pressures exceed a person’s adaptive capacity. It activates the sympathetic nervous system and the HPA (hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal) axis, increasing cortisol, adrenaline, and catecholamines. Chronic stress disturbs sleep, digestion, immunity, endocrine balance, and cognitive performance, and predisposes to anxiety disorders, depression, hypertension, IBS, hormonal imbalance, and cardiovascular diseases. Triggers include workload, emotional conflict, fear of failure, trauma, financial burden, family responsibility, competition, lifestyle imbalance, and chronic illness.

Homoeopathy views stress as a disturbance of the vital force caused by emotions such as fear, grief, guilt, disappointment, insecurity, or overwork. Treatment requires individualized case-taking covering temperament, reaction to stress, causation, modalities, physical generals, past trauma, dreams, and miasmatic influence. Medicines aim to restore emotional stability and nervous system harmony from within, without dependency or suppression. Homoeopathy not only relieves present stress symptoms but strengthens resilience and emotional adaptability.
