It's relatively easy to find natural anxiety remedies being promoted online, but not all will cure you. This is sad, because when you are desperately searching for a solution to your constant fear, you want the right answers. How do you determine which natural anxiety cure will do the trick?
One common misconception about natural anxiety remedies such as herbs is that they are not all safe. We tend to think that vitamins and herbs are safe, simply because they are natural. What they don't tell you is that many of them do have side effects and their effectiveness is dubious at best.
Passionflower has been touted as a natural product that will cure anxiety, but after conducting a study, researchers determined that it showed only insignificant improvement overall. In fact, it comes with several side effects including nausea, vomiting, drowsiness and rapid heartbeat.
In a society that is always looking for a 'quick fix', this is one time when it couldn't be more relevant. Popping pills isn't always the answer, however.
Here are 3 natural anxiety remedies that do work
1. Deep breathing exercises. These are easy to do anywhere, which makes them a good exercise for anxiety relief. The key is to learn how to breathe from your diaphragm, rather than from your chest. People with anxiety tend to be chest-breathers which can contribute to ineffective oxygen delivery and rapid heart rate.
2. Progressive relaxation. In this exercise, you find a comfortable location where you will not be disturbed. It's best if you can lie down, but a soft chair is suitable. Be sure to sit upright with your feet flat on the floor and your spine straight, your head up, eyes forward. The procedure is the same as for lying down. Starting at your feet, gradually focus on each area and relax your muscles. You are sure to discover that you are holding certain muscles tense. This exercise is great for helping you to identify just how tense is your body.
3. Self hypnosis. You might link this with stage demonstrations of people squawking like chickens, but one think you should know. No one will do anything they wouldn't normally do. With self hypnosis, you are in control the entire time. Basically, it involves relaxing your body and your mind to clear it of all the tensions that are triggering your anxiety attacks. Whether you are afraid of being in public or anxious over your debts, this will work. Your goal is to empty your mind of all its worries and replace those thoughts will pleasant ones. In this state, you can work on your problems.
These three exercises go together to free your mind and body from stress. Use them in unison to work through any issues. For example, if you are afraid to take the subway, go into a restful state and imagine yourself entering the subway and feeling relaxed and happy.
Practice these three natural anxiety remedies and you will cure your anxiety over time.
