Home Remedies For Anxiety
Anxiety is the second most common psychological problem,
yet remains undiagnosed 75% of the time. In our anxious
age, doubts and fears can manifest as simple worries, free-floating
anxiety, phobias (agoraphobia, social phobias, etc.), panic
disorders and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. The latter
may affect as many as 7 million Americans. Home remedies
for anxiety offer the best approacho to complement the traditional
treatment.
Physical aspects of anxiety include stomach upsets, colitis,
migraines, palpitations, hypertension and sweating. Anxiety
after trauma, post traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD), is
also increasingly common. Underlying, contributing factors
are low blood sugar, food allergy, nutrient deficiency (fatty
acids, B complex, etc.) and imbalances of the thyroid, ovaries
or adrenals. Home remedies for anxiety can help you get
this nutrient in.
Many of the herbs that help anxiety work on the same brain
receptor sites as drugs like Valium, Xanax and Halcion.
Herbs however, tend to be gentler, safer and non-addictive.
They have relaxant properties but also nourish and strengthen
the nervous system. There are hundreds of home remedies
for anxiety and nervous disorders.
