Alternative and Natural Remedies for Anxiety

What Are Some Natural Remedies to Help Control Your Anxiety?

Know Your Triggers and Educate Yourself on Ways To Ease Anxiety

High stress and tension for long periods of time lead to long term chemical imbalances. These imbalances have a damaging effect on the physiology of a person. Symptoms of anxiety affect not only a person’s mood and emotions but also the mind and physical body.

Do Your Research on Natural Remedies for Anxiety

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety disorders are the most common type of mental illness in the United States affecting approximately 40 million people over the age of 18 annually.

Anxiety disorders are generally classified into five categories:

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Panic Disorder
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Social Phobia (or Social Anxiety Disorders

Changes in diet and the addition of herbal supplements are high on the list of natural remedies for anxiety.

Natural Remedies for Anxiety

Many allopathic medications only target the symptoms and have undesired side effects detouring sufferers from treatment. Homeopathic remedies target the cause and alleviate the symptoms, generally have only mild side effects if any.

Diet

Diet plays a very important role in overall health. Eating a balanced diet and refraining from consuming certain types of foods can be in itself a treatment for anxiety. Reducing and/or eliminating caffeine and alcohol consumption is usually high on the list of homeopathic treatments for anxiety disorders. For those who consume caffeine daily, gradually reduce caffeine intake. Replacing with decaffeinated beverages will prevent withdrawal symptoms sometimes associated with a caffeine addiction.

Anxiety disorders are also linked to hypoglycemia. Those who are prone to low blood sugar levels should reduce the consumption of simple sugars. They can be replaced with whole grains. The addition of proteins in the diet can also help prevent anxiety attacks.

Herbal Supplements

Herbs like kava-kava and valerian roots have traditionally been used to treat insomnia, anxiety, and tension. Kava-kava a valerian root is not habit-forming like some prescription and over the counter medications.

Kava is native to Polynesia and has been shown to promote relaxation without affecting mental alertness. Daily doses of 300 mg Kava extract have been shown to be an effective treatment for anxiety disorders in clinical tests.

Valerian root behaves like a tranquilizer and is known to calm the nervous system and is best known as a remedy for insomnia. This herb has been clinically tested and Valerian extracts having a minimum of 0.8% valerenic acid are found to be highly effective.

Vitamin B complex can also help in reducing stress levels in the long term. Though not clinically tested, other herbs such as California poppy, hops, ashwagandha, passionflower, chamomile, and catnip have been used traditionally as natural remedies for anxiety.

Before adding any complementary or alternative treatments to a health care regimen all options should be discussed with patients’ primary care physician. Drug interaction may occur and the use of some herbal supplements have been known to skew test results.

Preventing the #1 Cause of Anxiety – Stress

The best protection against anxiety attacks is to know what your triggers are and take preventative measures. Know when the warning signs of stress and tension first begin to appear.

There are many health benefits being reported for those who practice meditation and yoga. These eastern healing forms are now being recognized worldwide. They are claiming to improve mental alertness, emotional stability, and increased immune system function.

natural remedies

Massage therapy also provides relief from stress, tension, and anxiety. Benefits include improved blood circulation, flexibility, agility, overall energy, and relieving everyday aches and pains

The follow six simple steps will help ward off anxiety attacks and can be performed in only a few minutes each day:

  1. While at work take frequent breaks. Take at least one five-minute break for every 55 minutes worked.
  2. Become aware of your breath and breathe slowly. Consciously relax muscles that have become tight and tense.
  3. Reduce the amount of coffee and caffeinated drinks consumed
  4. Get some form of physical exercise each day; even if it is only 10 minutes each day. Exercise helps eliminate waste from your body and relieve tension.
  5. Get a good night’s rest each night.
  6. Keep your home tidy and clean to prevent stress.

Create a Calming Environment

A cluttered, disorganized home or office space can lead one to become overwhelmed, quickly. Take a few minutes at the end of each day to tidy up. Going to bed knowing your home is not in array will help you rest easier. It will also provide a smooth much smoother morning. Take a few minutes right before you leave your home to do a quick run through and tidy up any messes from the morning. Coming home from work to a clean home will help you unwind from your workday without causing a spike in anxiety!

natural remedies

Aside from creating a clean environment, an inviting aroma can help bring calm to your world. The Aera Smart Diffuser is a great way to have your home ready for you when you get home. Most home fragrance products include lighting a candle, turning on a wax melt, or spraying a fragrance into the air. With Aera, you can control your fragrance setting straight from your phone. It gives you the chance to always come home to just the right fragrance!

About the Aera Smart Diffuser

Do you love a fresh aroma to greet you as you open the door to your home? I am sure you are like me and do not like to keep wax warmers going while you aren’t at home. The Aera Smart Diffuser has become my best friend. I can control it from my phone when I leave for work. That way, I am sure to be greeted by the beautiful scent of Himalayan Rose as soon as my door opens at home when I return. I can actually set it up to play during certain times of the day. I choose to set it about to begin playing ten minutes prior to my anticipated time I plan to be home for the evening. a It is also compatible with Alexa!

natural remedies

The Area Difference

The fragrances are hypoallergenic and the scent down not fade as the diffuser is running like wax warmers and other “smell-good products” do. Each container of fragrance runs for an average of 800 hours and can be switched out at any time! I prefer to set mine on the lowest setting because I prefer a light aroma. If you like to have a stronger scent, that can be adjusted to the intensity that you prefer!

natural remedies

Scented candles diffuse fragrance by burning the fragrance oil. Combustion ranges from 75%-90% which leaves the rest to go off as soot which is not safe for continuous inhalation and leaves residues on surfaces.

natural remedies

Aera Smart diffusers release ultra-tiny molecules into the air, creating a very even scent throughout the room. Each diffuser covers an average of 500-1000 square feet of space. If you have pets, that is ok! Aera products are safe for humans AND pets!

Order your Aera Smart Diffuser and Fragrances and get your home looking and smelling in a way that can minimize your stress!

    These are all really great things to try. I have and had really bad anxiety when I was a really young adult. And if you are still having problems talk with your doctor.

    Thank you for sharing this article! I suffer form PTSD and Panic attacks. It’s a daily battle for me to want to take my prescription medications. I feel like they have more side effects than actually helping me. I would definitely replaced them with natural affective remedies

We took both of our dogs with us and we think we broke them 😆 #CleoTheDog & #NyxTheDog were both soooo tired by around 8:30pm each night that they would go to our trailer door & look at ys waiting to be let in 😁 while we continued to enjoy our campfire 🔥It was great to unplug there is no cell service let alone internet where we go so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We are lucky to live in #BeautifulBC.
