Ambra grisea
Ambergris
Ambra grisea is suited for patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as social anxiety, excessive shyness, or nervousness, particularly triggered by social situations or unfamiliar environments. These are often accompanied by functional somatic symptoms, including palpitations, tremors, or constipation, and insomnia due to racing thoughts or emotional overwhelm. Patients may exhibit mild cognitive impairment (e.g., difficulty concentrating under stress) and digestive sluggishness, with symptoms worsening in the presence of others, during conversations, or in warm environments. The remedy is particularly relevant for chronic, stress- related conditions with a strong psychological-physical interplay.
