Putting Your Anxiety Under Control By Taking Herbs And Natural Supplements

By Martha King


The current market is flooded with supplementary products for various health and beauty related matters. It's for certain that there is something a consumer may take for much needed relief no matter if his or her problem is hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, acne or hair loss. Some people who are battling anxiety and refuse to pop medications in their mouths commonly take herbs and natural supplements that are meant for the said mental disorder.

In the United States, it is estimated that 40 million people have anxiety. It goes without saying that it can be regarded as an epidemic, mental health experts say. They add that anxiety is a highly treatable problem, although only a small percentage of sufferers seek medical assistance.

If you're one of those anxiety sufferers who steer clear of seeking the assistance of psychiatrists, fear of medicating is perhaps one of the reasons. The problem with psychiatric drugs is they tend to cause unfavorable side effects as they provide much needed relief. If you quit taking them after making them a part of your everyday life for months of years, it's very much possible for you to encounter withdrawal symptoms. Rebound anxiety may come into being, too, once you quit medicating.

Due to these reasons, so many of those with the mental disorder steer clear of taking medications. It's a good thing that there are so many all natural alternatives to medicating. Someone who is suffering from anxiety, for instance, may try one all natural remedy after the other until he or she comes across something that can really deliver.

One of the most commonly suggested solutions by therapists and counselors is taking slow, deep breaths. Lowering the respiratory rate to 6 to 8 per minute is scientifically proven to help calm the mind as well as body. It yields impressive results by putting under control various physical symptoms such as chest tightness, rapid heart rate, dizziness and tingling sensations in the extremities. All of the said physical symptoms can aggravate anxiety during an attack.

It's virtually impossible for you to run out of drug free remedies to try. A lot of people with the mental disorder swear by the effectiveness of getting massages, especially if it's coupled with aromatherapy. However, you can also attain relief even without going to the spa. At home, you may listen to music, read a book, take a relaxing bath or do yoga.

Someone who is battling anxiety may give certain supplementary products a try, too. They tend to come in the form of teas, capsules and pills. According to experts, they work by causing relaxation of the mind. It's for certain that the body will follow suit as soon as the mind is already put in a calm state.

Some of these products are meant to be taken during an attack. Others, however, may have to be administered on a regular basis in order to keep anxiety at bay. No matter the case, it's important for a person to first inform a doctor about his or her plan to take supplements. This is most especially true if he or she has a known medical condition.
