Stop Anxiety Attacks

Anxiety has been a tool that we humans have used all the way back to the beginning of time. It is meant to be a healthy response to standard stresses in life, or even more important, to a dangerous situation. What happens is when we become afraid, our "fight or flight" impulse fires up; our muscles tighten up and our adrenal glands start pumping out extra adrenaline. Under normal circumstances (a person that deals well with anxiety), our body will burn off the excess energy fairly quick and will return to a natural state. But what happens when this doesn't work as prescribed? What happens when we don't burn off the nervous energy we just created? In this page, I will discuss how to stop anxiety attacks and give some tips on how to cure an anxiety attack.

Before you opt for high priced medications that can have side effects, I suggest that you should try to prevent panic attacks and anxiety the natural way, without medication.  Here are several herbal remedies that have worked throughout the ages to calm the nerves and relieve tension.

1. Valerian is known for its nerve relaxer properties and is very good for people who have insomnia that is caused by anxiety.
2. Chromium helps to balance blood sugar levels (which will help level anxiety quicker)
3. Ashwagandha will help to balance stress hormone levels.
4. If you are in the full throes of a panic attack, Kava can significantly help to relieve panic attacks or generalized anxiety and stress.  If you are taking any meds for parkinson's or depression, DO NOT take kava though.  This particular supplement should be used under a doctor's supervision.
5. Saint John's Wort will help lift anxiety especially if it is associated with depression.  Talk to your doctor before making the switch if you are already taking medications for depression.
