Summary

Increased levels of stress and anxiety are experienced by many students. Stress can have a negative influence on academic outcome and performance, as well as on the student's mental health. Conventional treatment options for anxiety include counseling, as well as anxiolytics and antidepressants, which may have various adverse effects. Picricum acidum and Phosphoricum acidum are homeopathic remedies that may be helpful in alleviating anxiety in students; however there has been no research done to date to show their efficacy for this condition.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Picricum acidum and Phosphoricum acidum Homaccord on perceived levels of anxiety in university students, by means of the State-Trait-Anxiety-Inventory and Anxiety Symptom Score Card.
