Having a panic attack is one of the most uncomfortable feelings imaginable. Luckily there are natural ways to resolve and eliminate panic and anxiety attacks without dangerous prescription drugs.
Breath Techniques — Many traditional cultures have used the breath as a way to center one’s self and stay calm and grounded. Meditation and Yoga are quick to come to mind. You can use your breath to relax your physical body and quiet your mind. Most people will notice that panic attacks begin with their breathing. Fast and shallow breathing can escalate to a strong panic attack. Slow your breathing and you will find that you can avoid most panic attacks.
Herbs and Herbally Infused Teas — Prescription drugs can help, but they come with a whole host of side effects. Herbal remedies can often help with panic attacks without the side effects. These often include valerian, chamomile, California poppy, passion flower, kava kava, or lemon balm. It is difficult to know what the precise dose is. People are different and it may take some time to find the right dose for you.
Homeopathy — Homeopathic remedies are diluted quantities of herbs that can be useful in treating panic attacks. Bach Flower Remedies are created from a mix of flowers. Their Rescue Remedy has helped many find relief from anxiety problems. Also be on the lookout for “Kali Phos 6x” which is crafted to help with the nervous system. Specifically when it is exhausted from panic or anxiety.
Alternative Therapies — Ever thought about acupuncture? It is an ancient art that aligns the body’s chi, or energy. Or if that seems a bit too intense, try the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). You’ll get the benefits without the risk of becoming a human pin cushion. It is fast and you can do it in the comfort of you own home.
We’re all different, so some of the above remedies for anxiety attacks might be quicker for you.
