Claustrophobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by an irrational fear of confined spaces, such as elevators, small rooms, tunnels, or crowded areas. Individuals with claustrophobia may experience intense panic, rapid heartbeat, sweating, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, or a strong desire to escape.

The condition may develop due to genetic predisposition, past traumatic experiences in confined spaces, or as part of generalized anxiety or panic disorders. Claustrophobia can significantly impact daily life, limiting travel, work, or social activities, and often leads to avoidance behavior.

Homeopathy treats claustrophobia holistically, focusing on reducing anxiety, calming the nervous system, and restoring emotional balance. Remedies are selected based on the nature, triggers, and intensity of fear, along with associated physical and mental symptoms. Homeopathy aims to reduce panic attacks, increase confidence, and help patients cope with confined situations naturally.

Lifestyle measures include gradual exposure therapy, relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, meditation, and counseling.
