Answer 1

There are numerous herbs which could help but anxiety attacks can be caused by many factors which should be investigated by a medical herbalist who will find, and treat, the cause.

To relieve your symptoms, take Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora) and Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) which you should be able to buy in tincture from from your health food shop. You will see improvements within a couple of days but should take for several weeks to build up the nervous system. If you are taking lots of other medication, see a Herbalist before taking anything.

If you want to find a Qualified Herbalist visit www.nimh.org.uk or www.phytotherapists.org.

Best wishes,

PS A lot of the complexes containing Valerian also contain hops [Humulus lupulus] which should be avoided if there is any suggestion of depression - find a tincture of only Valerian.

Herbs are not as potent as the chemicals that doctors prescribe, and some of them can still be addictive. They can gently help, but are mild and may not be enough. Valerian root can help, but it is known for causing mild withdrawals if you quit taking it. Kava works and is not addictive, but again is mild and may or may not help. Also, a lot of the kava you buy at health food stores is not very good quality, if you want to try kava buy it online from a grower, not from your local health food store. In the end, neither drugs nor herbs will solve the problem. Go to your local library (yes, the library!) and you will find some very good books on anxiety. They will teach you what causes it, andp most importantly how to deal with it, live with it, overcome it, and what drugs to use if you need drugs at all. I’ve visited with counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, and all of them know some, but I found a couple of books from the library to be more comprehensive and have more information than any one therapist or doctor that I’ve ever visited. A lot of anxiety disorders and panic attacks can be overcome without drugs if you know how to do it.

If you are a natural person you should try cognitive behavioral therapy. It was the only thing that has helped me with my horrible health anxiety. Read here https://tr.im/7hLZQ

Your thinking determines your quality of life. Your thinking is what causes you these feelings:

Anxious, fearful, stressed or depressed
Constantly worried, or angry about something that is happening in your life
Struggling to overcome obsessive and negative thoughts.

If you change your thinking, you will change your life. This is the basic idea behind CBT for anxiety. The Cognitive part is where you learn nee methods and ways to change your same old habits and thinking patterns. If you keep thinking and expecting the worst – You will continue to suffer.

Answer 5

My husband suffered from panic or anxiety attacks for 17 years.
The doctors tried everything... Zoloft, Xanax, Tranzene, and more. He also tried herbal remedies.

He finally stopped having attacks when he learned proper meditation techniques, and the doctor prescribed 10 mg of Paxel as needed. He also cut down on caffeine- coffee, tea, Coca Cola.

After a year, he was able to stop taking Paxel. He continues to meditate, and allows himself coffee.

Just a thought...

Good Luck
