Natural Remedies for Anxiety

NEPAL TRAVEL BOOK, KATHMANDU: 

Having an anxious behavior befalls our personality as well as confidence. Go for natural remedies for anxiety. Use a few home remedies for anxiety to calm down a bit.

Deep Breathing

Breathing deeply is an easy, fast way to address your anxiety at one of its roots. Since symptoms of anxiety can often be caused by a lack of oxygen, the best way to reverse the effect is to breathe deeper. Heart palpitations, blood pressure, and chest pain during panic attacks can all be helped by this anxiety natural remedy. When you feel tense or nervous, begin with this method by closing your eyes and counting down from 100. Focus on inhaling slowly, drawing as much air in as you can into your lungs. Feel your stomach expand and allow your lungs to fill completely before you exhale. Each inhalation and exhalation should be done through the nose. Keep counting down until you get to 0, then start again from 20. This is a great natural cure for anxiety in the moment.

Meditation and Yoga

Clinical studies have shown that meditating and yoga can relax you, lower blood pressure, lower heart rate, and provide an overall sense of well-being. This is most likely due to the nature of each practice requiring deep breathing in a quiet environment. You could try these in your own home, or you could try a gentle beginner’s yoga class for an introduction to the technique. Hopefully this guide to natural remedies for anxiety gave you a clear idea of the abundance of choices you have available to you. Healing your anxious thoughts and feelings doesn’t necessarily have to include taking expensive, risky prescription drugs. Try any of these methods today, and you will hopefully be seeing positive results soon.

Lemon balm

As early as 300 BC, lemon balm was described in the Historia Plantarum of Theophrastus. Early Arab healers commented on the benefits of lemon balm. Eleventh century Arab physician Avicenna noted that “balm makes the heart merry and joyful, and strengthens the vital spirits.” In ancient Greek and Roman medicines, lemon balm was used to treat poisonous bites and stings and as a dressing for wounds. In the Middle Ages, lemon balm was employed to relieve stress and anxiety, promote sleep, ease indigestion and lift the spirits.
