Overcoming Anxiety – Tired of Being Told To Breath? 5 Natural Remedies to Cure Panic Attacks

January 3rd, 2010

There are so many methods for overcoming anxiety and several wonderful natural panic attack treatments. Certainly there is no reason for giving into the conventional treatment for panic attack symptoms, which almost always translates to subjecting yourself to questionable medications.

After all, those prescription pills aren’t actually an option for anxiety cures or to cure panic attacks anyway. At best they simply mask the symptoms without ever enacting a factual cure. Genuine cures can be found in the realm of alternative medicine that are not only safe, but also reliable, effective, and inexpensive.

Some focus on diet and exercise, others by mental manipulation even through hypnosis, but the best ones in my opinion would be those that eliminate symptoms by healing physical deficiencies. If those types work, then obviously any other natural solution is not essentially required. Therefore the present article is focused primarily on nutritional solutions to overcoming anxiety disorders and panic attacks.

Apple Cider Vinegar – is a wonderful natural panic disorder treatment. Use preferably organic ACV but it should at least be unprocessed or as they say, “With the mother in it.” 1 tsp. 3 times a day in a glass of water has been reported to work wonders, or as much as a tbsp. or two especially in emergencies, has also been documented to be extremely helpful.

Vitamin B-12 & Folic Acid – is another standby in the realm of naturally overcoming anxiety. Any good Vitamin-B supplement should contain both and it is best taken in conjunction with 5-HTP. Of course there is no good reason not to take all of these remedies simultaneously, as apposed to relying on just one. Not necessarily at the same time, but throughout your day, as there is no conflict between them when taken in the recommended dosage.

5-HTP is an excellent option for a natural panic attack treatment. 5-HTP, short for 5-hydroxytryptophan is an intermediate metabolite which is situated between the amino acid tryptophan and the neurotransmitter serotonin. As we all know serotonin is esential for feelings of wellness, and for dealing with stress and anxiety. 5-HTP usually comes in 100 mg capsules. The recommended dosage is once to twice daily. It is suggested that you initially start with only one capsule a day, then gradually increase the dosage to two. However, do not exceed the recommended dose.

St. Johns Wort – Winter Cherry – Siberian Ginseng – are all superb herbs to take for anxiety disorders. Winter cherry and Siberian ginseng both support adrenal gland functions. Malfunctioning adrenal glands are often at the root of physical causes for anxiety disorders. Winter cherry has been shown to have a sedating effect on the body and helps to rebuild the digestive and nervous system. It is also excellent to take at night for a more restful sleep. Siberian ginseng has been used traditionally to stimulate and nourish the adrenal glands and for increasing mental alertness. St John’s Wort has been shown to be very successful in increasing a sense of well-being and reducing or even eliminating the occurrence and symptoms of panic attacks.

Flower Essences & Homeopathic Remedies – in particular Bach’s Rescue Remedy is a favorite for panic attacks. As far as homeopathic remedies are concerned Gelsemium reigns supreme. There are so many other flower essences and homeopathic remedies for anxiety disorders and panic attacks, but any good health food store will carry them, and of course they’re available on line.

Well that’s at least a healthy start on the road to living your life free from anxiety disorder symptoms. If you get these items in your home and set yourself up on a program to take them, and stay with it, you will get relief. As far as a 100% complete cure that all depends on the severity of your disorder and what’s causing it in the first place.

I hope the title of this article didn’t lead you to believe that deep breathing is ineffective towards dealing with panic disorders, or that I was making fun of it. On the contrary, it most certainly is. My position is, why should you have to? The same with regular exercise. Of course both are great if not essential for everyone, but if you can get to the root of the problem, that would be best.

No matter your situation, I do sympathize as no one can truly imagine the torment caused by this disorder, until they’ve personally experienced it. Don’t give up as you will achieve a total cure through holistic methods. There are so many, many, options, and as I said before, you can take advantage of them all, simultaneously.

Panic disorder is such a prevalent condition in our society, so don’t ever think your alone, and as far as a cure, your definitely on the right track. The day will come soon when you will look back at this condition and laugh. Seriously. Maybe today will be that day, so good luck and best wishes.

The Naturopathic Way to Combat Insomnia, Stress, Restlessness and Anxiety, Plus Many Other Common Psychological Problems

December 30th, 2009

A total 41% of American workers interviewed reported an increase in work stress on their jobs compared to a year earlier.   Another poll taken among Americans showed that more than one half of the respondents (58%) reported having experienced insomnia at least a few nights a week.   This is a trend in American health, where we are seeing many common psychological problems such as stress and insomnia moving to an epidemic stage (epidemic means 1 in 4 have the ailment).

Why have these psychological problems reached epidemic numbers?   There are many reasons for stress, insomnia, restlessness and anxiety, such as significant personal events, like losing a job, marital problems, money worries and generally worrying.   Other causes can include physical illness that causes pain, depression, shift work, caffeine or alcohol consumption, and medication side-effects.   Each one is a drain on your nutritional support system, this is a scientific fact.

The drain on your nutritional support system is the common thread here which runs through all of these problems.   What do I mean when I say drain on your nutritional support system?   I mean that each one of those problems burns up large amounts of your B vitamins and minerals.   Those B vitamins and minerals are your nutritional support and if they get low the problems you are experiencing will seem to grow in number and severity.  

That nutritional support system is the foundation from which you handle everyday problems.   When that foundation is supporting you; you feel more confident and you handle your everyday troubles and crises with ease and consideration.   If you are not supported, you may handle the problem, but you feel the physical and emotional drain on your body and mind.   Then where is the next problem/crises coming from; this is the modern world with plenty of them to spare, you need support.     

Are you experiencing some of the symptoms of a drained nutritional support system, stress, anxiety, insomnia or restlessness?   Well do not expect your body to run trouble free without replacing the nutrition in that system.   Not replenishing that system is like expecting your car to run without oil.   Look below at the different B vitamins and see the symptoms you can acquire due to their deficiencies, all scientifically proven.

Why can’t we just get our vitamins from our diet?   You just have to look around you to see the evidence that the majority of Americans have no idea what a good diet is (see article “America Is Number One, The Fattest Industrialized Country In The World”).   At every turn in our society we are, in fact, encouraged to eat foods that have almost no nutritional value by the media.   Most markets do not offer us much of a choice.  The food is refined, irradiated or poorly grown at the farm; all three destroying the nutritional value of the food.   The very people who are supposed to protect our health instead defend the manufacturer and spin the information so much they are confusing.   They even make laws to stop anyone from saying that to eat certain whole foods might prevent or cure you of many diseases, even though it is true.

I have been involved with naturopathic medicine and nutrition for over 20 years and I find it difficult to find whole foods that are truly nutritional in any market or restaurant.   The odds are stacked against you having any better luck than I do.   So I supplement to make sure that I keep a balance of B vitamins and minerals beyond what I eat and I suggest you do the same thing.   Why allow yourself and your family to be caught up in the same health crisis you see everywhere today.

Important Note: Basic law of nature and another scientific fact (see article, “The Truth About Vitamins”), if your B Stress formula is not from food you cannot absorb it!   It is a big basic law of nature; we depend on plants for our nutrition.   If your vitamin supplement does not say the words somewhere on the label Whole Food Vitamins”, “Made From Whole Foods” or “Food Vitamins”.   Do not waste your money on it because it is synthetic and you cannot absorb it.

Below Are What Your Stress B Vitamin Supplement Should Contain In A Whole Food Form.   Plus, The Problems A Deficiency Of Each Vitamin And Mineral Can Cause.

Vitamin A
Essential, either directly or indirectly, for the proper functioning of most organs of the body” and may prevent stress-induced immunological disorders.

Biotin
Necessary for cell growth, the production of fatty acids and the metabolism of fats and amino acids.   It plays a role in the Citric acid cycle, which is the process by which biochemical energy is generated.

Magnesium
Dr. Bernard Jensen wrote, “Magnesia, an inorganic substance,…is actually a combination of oxygen and magnesium….Man must have the biochemic (organic) form—food magnesium—rather than the inorganic form…The patient who is highly nervous, excitable, overly emotional and erratic in actions needs magnesium as a sedative”.
