Answer 2

I've had chronic anxiety and panic disorders most of my life and used to be on high doses of Xanax every day just to get by. I've discovered a few things to work much better than otheres, but everyone is different, so you may wish to try other things.

High doses of magnesium are EXCELLENT for anxiety management! You'll need to work up the higher dosage, as magnesium is also an excellent laxative. LOL. Taking a malic acid supplement will help you take higher dosages than you likely could without it. I would say that this is #1 best thing I came across. My naturopath suggested it.

Other ways to help manage it are taking high potency B vitamins, especially B-6 and B-12 which help clear the stress hormones out of your body.

If you have having a peak of anxiety Bach's Rescue Remedy is a miracle! This single-handedly replaced the Xanax that I used to never leave home without. When you start to feel anxious, put a few drops or sprays on your tongue (they also have a wicked little spray-bottle, like a breath freshner, which I prefer). Repeat as needed every minute or so, but likely you won't need to do it more than 3 or 4 times before you're back to normal.

If you have a low baseline of anxiety, chamomile tea &/or kava kava work nicely.

A combination of these should aid you ALOT. If they don't, then you should see a physician - perhaps a homeopath or naturopath if you want to try and steer clear of allopathic treatment (and I don't blame you).

Beat Anxiety And Panic Attacks Naturally?

Answer 4

I understand Kava Kava is good. Catnip in a tea will help you sleep. You have to be careful with Valerian and take in correct doses which can sometimes be tricky. You should visit a shop that sells herbal remedies and speak to the expert on staff. They're trained to make up the correct herbal combinations in the right doses for whatever ailment or condition you may have.

Answer 5

This may or may not help, but....after years of taking anti-anxiety drugs, I decided I would try to find out what might be causing it. The answer? I eliminated caffeine from my diet entirely, and after a year--yes, it takes that long--I am finally better. When I told the doctor, he really didn't believe me, and tried to give me more pills. I don't need them. I drank 4-5 cups of coffee a day, made it strong, and I didn't even realize it was making me climb the walls! Look up caffeine toxicity on the 'net.

Answer 6

Why do you not get to the root of your anxiety? finding and treating the cause is always the best cure.

While you work on that, find a remedy called 'Rescue' at the local health food/homeopathic store. It will take the edge off while you work on yourself.

Answer 7

In Chinese medicine, anxiety is classified as a deficiency or imbalance in the Kidney energy leading to fear. Also, the Kidney is not able to support the Heart which houses emotions.

Here are some herbs that support the Kidney energy:

Rehmannia glutinosa-shu di huang
A Kidney tonic and longevity herb and is found in "anti-aging" formulations for longevity, and rejuvenation. It is a first-class blood tonic and benefits sexual functions in men and women.

Gynostemma pentaphyllum- jiao gu lan
Gynostemma is used to slow down aging and to prevent feebleness and senility; to reduce fatigue, to increase vigor; to improve digestion; to strengthen the mind; and to improve sex functions. It generally reinforces overall health and is viewed as a virtual "cure-all" in Asia. Ongoing use of Gynostemma has a protective quality strengthening the adaptive capacity of the person at every level of their life. Gynostemma is useful in a number of mental conditions, including simple depression and anxiety. It has developed an enormous reputation in Asia as a major aid in weight control programs. It also moderates blood sugar and reduces blood fat.

Cervus nippon-lu rong-Deer antler
Deer Antler is widely used in the Orient to strengthen all aspects of a person's life. It is a warm Yang tonic, although it is also known to contain Yin essence and is a major blood tonic. Extracts of Deer Antler have been found to strengthen the central nervous system and the heart. Deer Antler is believed to strengthen the mind and to enliven the Spirit (Shen). It is also widely used to improve mental power. It is widely used in Asia to strengthen adrenal, reproductive and brain functions.

Answer 8

Valerian Root works good for anxiety.Or try the Rescue remedie in Bach flowers ,i tried and was fantastic.
Try to do some exercise too, that will help.
Good luck!!

Answer 9

Your best bet would be going to the doctor for a prescription instead. This will ensure you are getting what you need to cope with it. Other than that, there are herbal meds that you can find at your local supermarket or drugstore. I tried all of these that they had and none of them did a bit of good. I ended up having to go to the doctor and get on Lexapro for anxiety and depression.

Answer 10

kava kava, or valerian root have calming effects.
