Need suggestions for natural treatment for anxiety

[Guest guest]

I have incredibily high anxiety and don't want to be medicated for

it.

 

Does anyone have some suggestions on some natural remedies or

treatments I can try first?

 

Hi,

 

I have ADD accompanied with anxiety attacks. I treat it with self-

hypnosis (meditation). I first began with transcendental meditation

(the beatles and maharji hahesh yogi in the 1960's).

 

I suggest getting hypnosis to get you started with effective

meditation. Then meditate 3 times a day, especially when you're

anxious. The more you do it, the more it will help.

 

Camomille tea and herbs to relax you can also help. ONe needs to

remember that anxiety is self-defeating and you can beat it by being

relaxed and well grounded.

There are many inhibitary amino acids that will help anxiety and the mineral

magnesium as well. It is best to get tested. www.sanesco.net is a lab that

tests urine and saliva for the balance of amino acids. Really great results.

Why guess, as neurotransmitter imbalances can change by taking too much of one

amino acid and it becomes really complex. There is probably a trained

practitioner in your area. Really nice people too!

Hi,

 

Magnesium has worked wonders for my anxiety. I use Peter Gillham's

Natural Calm product because it comes in the powder form and as a

result, allows alof of dosing flexibility.

Non a politically correct answer, and not promoting anything but:

Many of the folks I worked with in the mental health field who had problems with

anxiety used cannabis to relieve it.

They said this worked better than the antipsychotics and anxiolytics I was

trying to get them to keep taking.

From what I could see, they seemed to have fewer problems when they smoked, and

were much calmer.

I didnt observe any untoward effects; and honestly, it seemed to me that this

worked better for them than the meds did, in terms of their having much better

control over their anxiety- ie the apparent reduction of high anxiety levels as

evidenced by specific commonly observable behaviors.

One of the best things for anxiety is yogic breathing. Especially

long deep breathing and breathing while holding the breath out on the

exhale. I would suggest taking a yoga class, especially a Kundalini

Yoga class.

'masking'

effect.....resulting in seeming as if, the situation has 'vanished' ha......but

are not

some of us more intelligent than that? bw

I think this is excellent advice. If you are able physically to

exercise reasonably, and you do not have the funds to take Kundalini

Yoga classes (I don't), You might try Ana Brett and Ravi Singh

Kundalini Yoga DVD's. Go to Raviana.com, or Amazon.com. There are

several reasonable workouts. Their workouts tend to be long, so I

skip some of it. You do not have to be a yogi to do this. I don't

do certain moves, but I adapt them to my body's alignment. The music

is intoxicating, the productions are beautiful, and if you burn

incense or candles while doing these DVD's, it can be very relaxing.

There is a lot of breathing - breath work. Good stuff.

 

An aside: I have taken meds for years, and believe me it is not fun.

I am losing hair, have gained weight that I normally wouldn't, have

health problems related to the meds. How does it sound to lose teeth

from constant grinding, or losing the reflexes in your legs?

 

If you can manage your life - talk things out with a trustworthy

confidante, eat properly, take supplements, drink a lot of water,

take in some nature once in awhile, get into a great hobby or do the

work you love. and exercise, you will feel better. I clearly needed

the meds, but maybe you won't. I wish you well.
