It's good to know that you prefer to use natural remedies for anxiety. This way you won't have to deal with the side effects common to prescription drugs. I know of an homeopathic treatment for anxiety, panic attacks and irritability called PureCalm. Its herbal formulation provides a calming effect by lowering blood pressure, relaxing frayed nerves and revitalizing the nervous system. Try the link below for additional info.

My 17 year old son has symptoms of anxiety. We know the things that can be done medically, but we're looking first at natural remedies. Does anyone know what aromatherapies work best? Vitamins/minerals/herbs? Music therapy? Other? Thanks!
emigirl6---he's been to both his physician and he is currently in counseling. Thanks for the input!

There are many different counseling methods that incorporate behavior techniques to address stress and anxiety. Medication can be useful in some situations, but tranquilizes should never be a long term “cure” for stress.

Natural cures for stress and anxiety include behavior management techniques, proper diet and exercise, herbal remedies and yoga techniques. These will actually work towards alleviating your stress.

I am suffering from post partum depression and the Percocet really makes me relax and feel like I have hope. I was given it for my c-section. I was wondering if there are any natural things I could take that could have a similar effect. Not anything bogus or fake, but something that actually helps with depression and anxiety. Something to make me relax. Any help is greatlyaappreciated I want to enjoy my little boy!

All I can suggest is St Johns Wort but you have to take it everyday for it to work and it doesn't even work on some people. But you can give it a try. Before you take anything though, I still recommend talking to your doctor about it if you're taking other medication.

I deal with anxiety attacks and depression and would like to heal it naturally. Any suggestions?

I used to have anxiety attacks and still have them once in a while.

What helps me is:

1. Take long, deep breaths. It slows the heart beat. I used to feel a warmth throughout my whole body, this is normal.

2. Drink Orange Blossom (very hot) or Valeriane herbal tea. It helps relax before you go to bed.

3. Take a hot bath. It knocks me right out.

4. Listen to self-hypnosis tape. It saved me from insanity many times. It is called "Relieves Stress and Anxiety" and you can find it at www.thepotentialsunlimited.com

When I had surgery last year I panicked again because I had weird reactions to pain killers and I listened to it about 4 times a day. I was glad I still had it after 15 years !!!

5. Get into meditation and yoga classes. You will learn A LOT of relaxation techniques. Or you can get a book on it.

6. Self-help classes would also help. Panick attacks are the result of repressed emotions and I am pretty sure if you dig inside yourself you will find stuff that will amaze you.

My panick attacks were the result of me, as a child, not knowing in which kind of a mood my alcoholic dad would be when he got home.

7. As weird as it sounds, stay away from refined sugar and coffee.

8. Stay away from negative people.

9. Do physical exercise. It stimulates the endorphins in your brain, endorphins are the pleasure hormone that are released when you exercise, listen to music or do pleasant activities.

10. Find your passion. Me, it was martial arts. It kept me busy enough to stop worrying. Life is much better when you are working towards a goals that you have at heart.

Lastly, if all that fails, which I doubt, I recommend you see a doctor. Your hormones might need some help to be balanced. Even if they put you on medication, tell yourself that this is temporary and that you will not need it for long.

I have taken prescriptions for anxiety before, and hated the side effects of going off of them. I currently have dizzy spells, lightheadedness, the typical symptoms. Is it possible I could be depressed? Any advice would be great. Thanks

I tried kava kava before, and it worked for me. Some have reservations about it, though.
