You may wonder why natural remedies for anxiety are so sought after by so many people lately. Well, if you have ever tried any of the addictive prescriptions for anxiety relief you already know why this is. Many people just don't want to take these kinds of prescriptions to treat anxiety anymore because of the additional problems that can be caused. If you are lucky enough to get your anxiety under control, you often have to deal with the added aggravation that comes with discontinuing a prescribed medication.
But you can treat anxiety without having to take these kinds of medicines, and in fact, many people successfully treat their anxiety and panic disorder by alternative therapies such from therapy to herbal roots and teas that are meant to calm the mind and body.Maybe you've heard of positive thinking before? It seems too simple to work, but does it have to be complicated? There are a lot of people who find a great deal of relief from symptoms of anxiety when they start looking at their problems a little bit differently.If you think about how you become anxious many times, you will see that it is the way you are thinking that triggers a panic episode. You think that every single thing that happens to you is having a negative effect on your life, and so it does.Having anxiety means that you spend every single minute analyzing every situation you are in, and seeing the worst that could happen. This is our mind's way of tricking us into changing the way that we live our life when we develop these anxiety disorders.
Caught between a miserable past and a frightening future you create a pattern of emotions that can lead to a variety of mood disorders, including manic-depression.How do we escape from this vicious cycle?Here is what I did 20 years ago and I have never since suffered from any serious mood disorder.I started to cultivate my awareness of my mood swings--from elation to black despair.I did this by basically watching myself when I was manic, and watching myself when I was depressed, and watching what I did to turn on these states. For example to get depressed, I used my love of literature to focus on dark, morbid, and unhappy stories about life. And to get elated, I would talk a lot, move very quickly, and do things in a dramatic way.
Although homeopathic medicine works on all physical and emotional ailments, I decided to focus on anxiety in this article because anxiety seems to be at an all time high in our society. Anxiety can stop you in your tracks and have a devastating impact on the quality of your life. It is an intense emotional pain that we will do anything to avoid. We are programmed to move away from pain towards pleasure as quickly as possible. When we do this with anxiety, the anxiety gathers momentum because it is not challenged (what we resist persists). In our bid to avoid future bouts of anxiety, we will develop a range of strategies to cope. One strategy is avoidance. The anxious person knows what triggers their anxiety so they avoid those situations. This hugely restricts the freedom of the sufferer and leaves the anxiety lying dormant just waiting to strike again. Often people with anxiety will not seek treatment because they fear that they will have to face their anxiety and suffer through it in order to be cured. This is not the case with homeopathic medicine. Homeopathy does not just control the symptoms of anxiety. It cures the anxiety at its root. It cures naturally and safely without conscious effort on your part. I will list some useful remedies at the end of this article, but first let us look at anxiety.
There are various intensities of anxiety ranging from the mild natural anxiety felt when facing a new situation right up to the horror of a full-blown panic attack. People suffering from emotional pain will tell you that they would far rather suffer a physical pain than the agony of anxiety or depression. Symptoms of anxiety can include rapid heartbeat and breathing, shaking, nausea, sweating, muffled hearing, feeling faint, great fear, desire to escape. People who suffer panic attacks will tell you that the sensation of panic can be so dramatic they feel as if they are going to die.
What is the ADHD and anxiety connection? How can homeopathic remedies for anxiety help with ADHD? Let us take the diagnostic view first. When children are diagnosed with ADHD, they are more than likely to suffer from a co-morbid disorder. As if ADHD was not enough.In an About Our Kids survey, it was found that up to 25% of children with ADHD also suffer from anxiety. The same figure holds for those diagnosed with anxiety in that ADHD is going to occur in about a quarter of the children.
So why do we feel this anxiety in certain situations? And why is it that some people can cope well with these situations and others can't? The answer lies in our thoughts. Our body reacts in this way to 'perceived' danger. Perceived is the important word here, because we create our own perceptions usually from past experience. So, lets take our example of being anxious about doing a presentation in front of a group of people. This is a very common fear and I think it largely has its roots in our young school days. It could be that someone with this fear was asked to read out loud in class at school. They may have made a mistake and the whole class laughed at them. Obviously nobody would want to experience this type of situation again so the unconscious mind decides that this type of activity is now a danger to you. Any future events that you may face that have any elements relating to the school experience will be seen as a danger to you and will provoke a fight or flight response to keep you safe. Once you understand what is happening (you are not really in danger of losing your life etc) you can consciously decide to challenge this response. This is however quite a difficult thing to do which is why people suffering anxiety will do anything to avoid situations that trigger their anxiety.
Psychology-Based Anxiety Treatment.There are two main psychological anxiety treatments. These are the Cognitive behavioral treatment and the applied relaxation treatment.Cognitive Behavioral treatment - Many people have benefited from this type of therapy because it aims to help people suffering from anxiety disorders identify the behavioral patterns as well as strong unrealistic beliefs that they have and then try to face them and change them into more acceptable behaviors and beliefs.

Each remedy should be 30c potency and should be taken initially 3 times a day. An extra remedy should be taken during times of high anxiety. After a few days pay attention to any changes you may be experiencing. Once you start feeling better, stop taking the remedy as long as you feel better and as long as you feel you are improving. Only start taking the remedy again if you feel you may have stopped healing before you feel completely cured or if your symptoms initially improved but you feel you may be getting worse again.Arsenicum Album.You may have general anxiety.
