Five Easy Steps to Say Goodbye to Anxiety
By David Chandler
Anxiety is the body's alarm response to a perceived physical or
psychological threat. Anxiety may be short-lived and come about
by studying for an exam or preparing for a for job interview, for
example. However, if it persists for a long period, it can seriously
affect your everyday life. Here are 10 anxiety treatments to make
you feel better at the time of mental stress:
Practice Yoga
When you are anxious, your breathing becomes fast and shallow.
This disrupts the body's oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. This
has an effect on your over all body system. Practice Yoga for
breathing calm and get rid of anxiety.
Aromatherapy
If you feel physically tensed and suffering from anxiety, give your
shoulder a gentle massage with two drops of essential oils like
geranium, lavender, sandalwood, or basil oil. If you don't have
these use two spoons of a cold pressed vegetable oil such as
sweet almond or olive oil. Omit basil oil if you are in the first two
weeks of pregnancy,
Herbal remedies
You can prepare yourself a cup of tea out of vervain, rosemary, or
ginseng three times a day for two to three weeks when you are in
anxiety. These herbs have a restorative effect on the nervous
system. To ease your tension and to get a sound sleep try
chamomile cava, lime flower, valerian, hops, or passionflower tea.
Diet
Mental distress can depress or increase appetite. Choose plenty
of foods rich in the B vitamins, Vitamin E, calcium, and magnesium,
since a lack of these nutrients can contribute to anxiety. You have
to cut down on your sugar intakes and avoid alcohol and caffeine.
Choose spring water, fruit juices, or herbal tea instead.
Self-understanding: Think of the possible origins of your anxiety as
a first step to overcoming it. Think in a positive way and you will
start feeling better.
In case your condition worsens, you can go for psychotherapy and
cranial osteopathy or can consult your physician to get a proper
treatment for anxiety.
