Anxiety treatment: There are many causes for anxiety and anxiety
treatments to consider. Poor nutrition, stress and worry and insomnia are just a few causes. Everyone has sleepless nights after an important broken relationship. We all know fear and physical or emotional threats. Even starting a new project or job or giving a speech create a tinge of anxiety. As long as the "feelings" are limited in time, dissipate and go away, no problem. If the "feelings" become a pervading state of mind not related to anything specific, then a disorder exists. Now the stomach jitters have become a tornado. This is when such feelings need to be examined. At this point, it may not matter whether the cause is psychological or biological.
The results interfere with relationships and the ability to conduct normal activities. Anxiety disorders are often considered to be the most frequent mental health problem in the US, according to the US Surgeon General. About 15-20 million people between the ages of 15 and 55 suffer from such disorders.
Anxiety treatments include calming techniques such as yoga, meditation, exercise and deep breathing training as well as incorporating a good nutritious diet. If symptoms appear out of control always seek medical counsel. Many suffers start their healing by taking
prescription medications such as antidepressants and tranquilizers. This
is useful but suffers need to master their anxiety and confront its cause. Many people using prescription medications find undesirable side effects interfering with their recovery. Along with diet, calming techniques and counseling, herbal
remedies and protocols have been more useful for the control of anxiety and
antidepression. While related to depression, anxiety and depression are different. Depression
 medicines and symptoms often correlate with anxiety
symptoms and medications. However, it isn't likely that Xanax is the answer.
A likely anxiety treatment herbal protocol would include herbs such as St. Johns wort, passion flower or kava kava. My
Lift the
Spirits Tea contains these herbs with the goal to uplift mood, reduce anxiety and calm irritable nerves. Passion flower is included because as a herb it has been shown to be quieting and soothing to the central nervous system and has historically been used with children for nervous problems.
St. Johns wort
has been scientifically proven to reduce anxiety and depression. Finally,
kava kava, a plant from the South
Pacific, completes this remedy and is included to calm nervousness and relax
muscles. Together these herbs work synergistically to offer an alternative natural and logical anxiety treatment.
