Shyness
It may be appealing in song, but once the music stops,
shyness is nothing to sing about. This social anxiety can be so severe
that its sufferers may have trouble speaking, remembering names and even
making decisions in front of other people.
What causes it? Experts say it's usually the result of traumatizing events
in childhood that zap self-esteem. Heredity may also play a role. Serious
shyness may require professional help. The natural remedies in this chapter,
used with the approval of your doctor, may help you overcome shyness,
according to some health professionals.

| Flower Remedy/Essence Therapy

For shyness arising from low self-esteem, the flower essence
Buttercup is most helpful, says Patricia Kaminski, co-director of the
Flower Essence Society, a Nevada City, California, organization that studies
and promotes the therapeutic use of flower remedies/essences.
"Shyness can also be caused by a deep-seated sense of shame that
comes from past abuse," she adds. "This kind of person is terrified
of self-revelation and has difficulty trusting." Such people benefit
from the essence Pink Monkey Flower, according to Kaminski.

Try a 30C dose of any of these remedies once a day until
you feel improvement, says Chris Meletis, N.D., a naturopathic physician
and medicinary director at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine
in Portland, Oregon. Pulsatilla is an especially good remedy for shy,
timid, agreeable individuals who are eager to please, according to Dr.
Meletis. If you are solitary, want to be alone to cry, feel awkward in
social settings and are prone to arguing about trivial things, he suggests
trying Natrum muriaticum. Argentum nitricum can be helpful, he says, if
you are impulsive and fearful of many things and want things hurried along.
