 Definition
 Burnout is an emotional, physical,
psychological and social exhaustion
over a period of at least 6 months.
 Burnout is caused by the permanent
overuse of one's own mental and
emotional performance capacities -
permanent stress - without sufficient
compensation
 Definition
It is a cry for help from the body to
give it time to recover and, above
all, an unequivocal invitation to
change one's way of life.
Burnout is a kind of protective
mechanism of the underlying
psyche.
 Definition
burnout and most
depressions are life crises and need

a listening to the soul,

an understanding
and a live change

regulates malignant cells.

 The procedure
Samuel Hahnemann Organon

If the doctor clearly sees what diseases are, that is, 


what is particularly noticeable in each individual case of
illness to heal (disease recognition, Indication), he clearly
sees what is involved in the drugs, that is, in each medicine
in particular, the healer (knows the medical powers), and for
clear reasons he knows howling the drugs to adapt to what
he has unquestionably recognized in the sick sick person in
such a way that recovery takes place Must both in terms of
the adequacy of the most appropriate medicinal product in
the case of its mode of action (choice of remedy, indicate),
as well as with regard to the well-needed preparation and
Lot of the same (right gift) and the proper repetition time of
the gift: - he finally knows the Obstacles to recovery in any
case, and knows how to clear it away, so that the production
is permanent: 

in this way, it understands to act expediently and
thoroughly, and 

is an outlawed healer.

What we have in common:



The soul is not heard
 The case

A 58-year-old patient is desperately

admitted to the homeopathic clinic. He
had such massive unrest and fears in the
last few days that he saw only a stay in
psychiatry as a way out. He usually lives
in Dubai for more than 10 months and
worked there as a managing director in
the insurance industry, often more than
15 hours a day.
 The case
His complaints began
with tiredness, lack of pleasure,
High blood pressure, prostate discomfort
and insomnia. A few months
later came a daily, strong
nausea (food improves) and a massive
Dizziness. "Everything is amplified with each
Type of physical and mental
Load", according to the patient. The
fears "to no longer create everything,
can no longer remember anything,
even feel to become insane,.
He can almost no longer be alone
Again and again dive thoughts of
suicide, against which
but he could still defend himself well.
 The case
The patient has now been
back in Germany in his family in which he is
well embedded.
However, there is no improvement in his
ocmplaints. Conventional medicine
remedy for nausea, an antidepressant
and a sleeping pill, could not help him.
Laboratory: Kidney and liver levels are
increased.
 The case
Physically, he suffers every night
massive sweating all over the body.
He had ear pain in cold wind and bleeding gums. Is
powerless and wet handshake.
In addition,
he is reluctant to be in larger groups
and worry a lot about what others think about him
The case
 Treatment

Due to the totality of

symptoms, the patient receives calcium
carbonicum in potency Q3 once daily and over 3
days and Passiflora mother tincture 3 x 10 drops.
Accompanying the patient is treated with
psychotherapeutic conversations, meditations,
dance therapy, individual massage and qi gong.
Calcium carbonicum
The lime of the oyster bowl
 The course
The sleep pill can already be
suspended for two days. The
antidepressant, the patient himself has
a week before recording.
Within a week the condition improves significantly.
Fears and unrest are largely disappeared.
He can now do well alone,
be happy again in nature and the little things of the
life. After three days, it is also possible to stop with
Passiflora.
Sleep improves from night to night and
the night sweating is around the
half. He wins increasingly fun with sporting activities,
which he and his wife are doing together
 The course
In long conversations, including with his
wife, he begins to detect causal behaviour and
the course for the future.
The risk of relapse is still high
The diet was changed to a special metabolism-friendly
diet. He stopped to consume alcohol.
The patient quickly pushes back
home to get his job done as soon as possible
to be able to resume.
 The course

After two weeks, he has a relapse

and slips into a similar condition as
before the inpatient stay.
 The course
After another week of stationary
treatment are the complaints
faded off again. The urgent
the need for a comprehensive
change in his professional
and private life is now his new
painfully conscious.
He succeeds in clearly setting the course
for to make these changes, a
stationary stay has been
no longer necessary.
He is still in homeopathic supervision.
 Other homeopathic remedies
Kali-p Morrison
Potassium phosphoricum is a remediy that is thought of in
cases of mental and physical exhaustion, especially after
periods of great stress or overuse. It is indicated by
students or intellectuals who have made enormous efforts
and suffer a kind of mental breakdown.(like Picrinicum
acidum, Conium). Especially in cases where severe
exhaustion and mental bluntness occur in conjunction with
nervousness and hypersensitivity, we think of potassium
phosphoricum. The patient is often extroverted and easily
out of control due to bad news or international disaster
reports.

Give it in C 30 5 globuli every day or D 6 3 x 2 tabletts a

day
