Bird remedies have conquered modern homeopathic practice like hardly any other group of remedies in recent years. They are remedies of our time and are indicated for people who, on one hand, strive for freedom and self-actualization like the lanthanides, but on the other hand, exhibit a strong sense of duty towards their family. They tend to sacrifice themselves in this role and then feel overly constrained, restricted, or trapped by their worldly obligations. Physically, this often manifests as persistent tension in the neck, shoulder, and chest areas, accompanied by a sense of inner tension and restlessness. Homeopathic remedies from the world of birds can help these patients regain their lost lightness and carefreeness. When problems are viewed from a bird's-eye perspective, they lose their weight.
