Each persons experience with anxiety can produce different symptoms and can occur with varying severity. Treatments for anxiety must be individualized for optimal results. What works for one person, may not work for another.
Because many of the symptoms of anxiety disorder can resemble physical diseases such as hormone imbalance, hyperthyroidism, cardiac arrhythmia's, you should consult with your physician before starting any natural supplements. You should also make your physician aware of your intent with natural supplements if you are currently taking any prescription medications, pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Herbal remedies can be a safe way to strengthen the body's systems. They may be used as dried extracts (capsules, powders, teas), glycerin's (glycerin extracts), or tinctures (alcohol extracts.
Chamomile is used as a calming agent.
Damiana is an herb used as a calming agent, to relax muscles, and for sedation.
Valerian root has been used for centuries to fight insomnia and sleep problems and has been compared to Prozac with similar effects on the brain without the side effects.
Passion Flower is used as a calming agent.
St. Johns Wort is used predominantly as an anti-depressant remedy; however, it has been shown to promote sound sleep and emotional well-being.
Essential oils, such as lemon balm, lavender, jasmine, and bergamot, used in a warm bath have a calming effect through aroma therapy.
Vitamins and minerals, such as Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and B-Complex, help support the nervous system and minimize the effects of stress. The magnesium blocks the damaging effects of excess adrenaline and animal studies have shown that the physical damage caused by stress is minimized with B-complex and Vitamin C. (Calcium should always be taken with Magnesium as it aids the body in absorption. Vitamin E is a personal favorite to boost the body's immune function.)
