The Alternative Way To Combat Your Anxiety
Do you break out into a cold sweat when you have to deliver a
talk before a group of people?
Perhaps you become nervous when you have to take a test...
There are certainly numerous causes for anxiety.
Similarly, there are a number of treatment options for those
afflicted with the illness.
If you don't like the idea of medication, you might try an
alternative approach to battling your anxiety.
It is estimated that nearly seven percent of Americans suffer
from anxiety and panic disorders. While prescription drugs are
routinely offered as a remedy for such illnesses, they can be
dangerous if administered over a long period of time.
Some of the more popular anxiety drugs include Diazepam and
Wellbutrin. However, increasingly, Americans are turning to
alternative medicines in an effort to soothe their anxious
feelings.
In just the last decade, the demand for alternative medicine has
skyrocketed 300 percent. This is partially the result of the
fact that many alternative medicines offer relief from symptoms
without the side-effects linked to prescription drugs.
It should be noted, however, that natural remedies are not meant
to be long-term treatments, although they can offer relief in
the short-term.
Before you buy a natural remedy, it is important that you do
your homework as far as your knowledge of herbs and vitamins is
concerned. It is also imperative that you consult your family
physician in order to ensure that the alternative treatment is
safe for you.
A number of herbs offer relief from the symptoms of anxiety. For
instance, St. Johns Wort is one of the most popular anti-anxiety
herbs on the market.
After taking St. Johns Wort for as little as two weeks, you
should notice a difference in your anxiety level. Valerian Root
is another alternative option you might try. It is especially
helpful in combating insomnia because of its sedative quality.
In other words, it helps to lull the central nervous system to
sleep. Research indicates that Valerian Root is effective in
improving sleep 90 percent of the time. This is important, since
much of anxiety is linked to sleep disorders. Vitamins can also
provide an effective treatment for anxiety. They can be quite
important in enabling neurotransmitter synthesis
and
maintenance. For instance, B-complex can help produce
neurochemicals, which in turn assists in the synthesis of
serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
Yet another aid to combating anxiety is Passion Flower. It helps
to calm the central nervous system, leading to feelings of
peace. Meanwhile, Ashwaghanda Root can make you feel stronger so
that you are better able to handle the effects of anxiety. But
perhaps no herbal remedy is quite as effective as Kava Kava.
This is considered to be one of the strongest anti-anxiety
remedies in the world.
A number of studies indicates that Kava Kava is highly effective
in relieving the short-term symptoms of anxiety. It is also
considered quite safe to ingest, making it one of the most
popular herbs available on the market today.
An herbal remedy called PureCalm is being marketed as a safe way
to deal with general nervousness and worry.
You may feel relaxed after taking only a few drops of this
natural substance. However, if you suffer from severe anxiety,
including panic attacks, you might consider a remedy called
MindSoothe, which combines St. Johns Wort with Passiflora.
Mindsoothe has been linked to good sleep, greater concentration,
and better memory. Therefore, it is particularly effective in
treating the symptoms of anxiety. We all have feelings of
anxiety from time to time. But how can you tell if your anxiety
is out of control? If you experience racing thoughts, rapid
heartbeat, extreme difficulty resting or concentrating, you
probably need to get help. If you do not like dealing with the
side-effects of prescription drugs, an herbal remedy may be in
order.
You should know in advance, however, that some herbal remedies
carry their own risks and lead to significant side-effects. The
more you know about herbal remedies, the better consumer you'll
be. Don't allow yourself to be a human guinea pig.
Take herbal medication only after you have thoroughly studied
its effects upon the human body.
