Where can I find a doctor who will prescribe me herbs for anxiety?

Question

I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I don't even know where to start. I don't want to go to an herb shop either. I am willing to invest in a certified alternative health care practitioner. I need the right dosage and the right product for my panic and anxiety...I do not want to order from the internet!

Answer 1

Sounds like you might need some Homeopathy and Bach Flower therapy:

"Homeopathy and Flower Essences

Homeopathy is a system of natural healing that mines the subtle energies of natural substances. A classical homeopath chooses one remedy at a time to slowly release the subtle imbalances underlying physical disease. It is especially useful for emotional, mental and behavioral patterns that are difficult to address with standard medicine. Homeopathy can also be used at home to address daily disturbances. Although remedies are believed to be non-toxic, it is wise to restrict self-treatment to low potencies.

Edward Bach (1886-1936), a British physician, developed the first system of flower essences, now called Bach Flower Remedies, which are dilutions that are either squirted in the mouth or sipped in water. These subtle, non-toxic remedies are used primarily to address mental and emotional states. Because of their safety and simplicity of use, they are well-suited for self-help and for psychotherapy. In recent years, other systems of indigenous flower essences have been developed in the U.S. Both homeopathy and flower essences are deemed too subtle to interact adversely with prescription medicines.

Answer 2

Try looking in the phone book or online in the area for Physicians-Holistic or at least call the herb shops and ask around for Certified Doctors that practive alternative medicine. Only other choice is to contact the local office of the American Medical Association and ask them.

Answer 3

Usually antidepressants work extremely well for anxiety and depression with few side effects. There are many natural substances though that work as well. S ame, 5-HTP, and St. John's Wort all work quite well for moderate or mild anxiety and depression. Mood-care is the best in my opinion. It is made with St. John's Wort and a homeopathic blend that has been shown to raise all the neurotransmitters significantly.

Answer 4

You can go to the local grocery store or drug store and get SAM-e supplement. No need to go through all of that. SAM-e is natural and works! Try that. Good luck to you!

Answer 5

Just smoke some marijuana. It will help with your anxiety.
