Exhaustion

Exhaustion refers to a state of extreme physical or mental fatigue, often resulting from prolonged periods of stress, overexertion or inadequate rest. It can manifest as a feeling of weariness, decreased energy levels, difficulty concentrating and overall reduced functioning.

Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine that works on the principle of "like cures like." It uses highly diluted substances to stimulate the body's own healing mechanisms. Homeopathic remedies can be effective in addressing anxiety by addressing the underlying causes and promoting overall wellbeing.
