Every day, you are exposed to things that could upset you. You worry about family, health, work, money, and more. When things just pile up and you get anxious, you feel your heart beat so fast, you breathe rapidly, you start sweating, and your mind spins – imagining only the worst. What you are experiencing may or may not be an actual anxiety disorder. But whatever it is, if you are like most people, you may be considering taking medication for it.
Before you do, however, take note that there are a lot of safer remedies for anxiety. They are all natural too. Some give you immediate relief and others help lessen anxiety over a period of time. Here are some of our suggestions:
- Drink chamomile tea. It is known to help calm people down. In fact, a study conducted at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center shows that patients diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder or GAD who also took chamomile supplement for 8 weeks experienced an amazing decrease in symptoms.
- Get physically active. Exercise is considered a safe and really effective solution to anxiety and depression. Regular exercise makes you healthier and at the same time gives you more self-esteem. You see, among the major causes of anxiety is the fear that we could be suffering from an illness. When you know you are healthy and when you exercise often, this worry dissipates.
- Try inhaling lavender oil. It is known that aromatherapy has relaxing benefits. Lavender in particular, when inhaled, can minimize anxiety. Lavender is often considered an “emotional anti-inflammatory”. A study conducted in Germany had shown that a specially formulated lavender pill could reduce the symptoms of anxiety in GAD patients as efficiently as lorazepam.
- Practice proper breathing. Deep breathing can be really effective if you need to lower stress and anxiety levels. It can also help to lower blood pressure, release toxins from the body and even help you sleep better.
- Try a tailored therapy that meets your specific concern. Sloan Natural Health Center has been providing homeopathic, herbal, micronutrient support, and amino acid therapy for people suffering from anxiety and many other mental health issues.
Remember that anxiety is not something that you should handle on your own. The sooner you address its symptoms, the sooner you’ll be able to enjoy a healthier and happier life – a life that you deserve.
