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.

Fear of taking psychiatric medications is one of the reasons why so many anxiety sufferers seek the help of psychiatrists. Even though anxiety medications are highly capable of providing results, they are frowned upon by many due to the side effects they bring. Most especially after taking them for a long time, various withdrawal symptoms may come into being when it's time to quit. After successfully dealing with the pesky withdrawal symptoms, it's not unlikely for the individual to then face rebound anxiety.

It doesn't really come as a surprise why many are wary of counting on psychiatric drugs. Luckily, it's possible to deal with the mental disorder via some natural approaches. With so many options out there, you may try several different ones until you encounter something one or two that can really put your anxiety under control even without the intake of drugs.

Taking breaths that are deep and slow is commonly suggested as a medication free solution. According to scientists, symptoms such as nausea, rapid heart rate, chest pain, and pins and needles in the extremities can be alleviated by slowing down the breathing rate to 6 to 8 a minute. By dealing with the said terrifying physical symptoms, attaining calmness during an attack can be easier.

There's never a shortage of all natural relief available. Having a massage is a step that may be taken on a regular basis. Especially when paired with relaxing essential oils such as chamomile, jasmine and lavender, it can be very easy to fend off anxious thoughts. Simple remedies such as reading a book, listening to music and taking a bath can impress, too.

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.
