Natural Remedies For Panic Attacks

By Jewel Guilmette


Around 40 million Americans aged 18 years and older experience panic attacks. This is a sudden intense fear taking its peak within 10 minutes. It may last longer making the sufferer think that he is dying. The attack may happen once; however, there are chances that the attack will reoccur.There is no need to worry because it is treatable. Unfortunately, only one-third of the sufferers seek medication due to the amount of money and time needed. People suffering from panic attacks need to visit their doctor more than three times. Moreover, they are likely to be hospitalized more than six times.

Deep Breathing - You've probably already heard of the brown bag method, where you slowly breathe into a brown paper bag to help you overcome your anxieties. Well, brown bag or not, it really does work. If you get very good at learning to regulate your breathing you will find you can stay calm in the most tense situations. It's all about focusing on your breaths: breathe in, completely filling your lungs; then breath out, completely emptying them. Nice. And. Slow. Also helpful for learning how to control your breathing is practicing meditation and yoga. These ancient practices have a proven track record.

Exercise - Even your doctor will agree with this one: perhaps the best of the natural remedies for panic attacks is exercise. Nothing beats exercise. You see, a panic attack is a disorder where your nervous system shoots adrenaline into your body mimicking the flight or fight response that you get to help you survive life threatening situations. So, when you sit down and try to relax-like a lot of medical professionals will tell you-you are actually working against your body's own natural inclination.

What actually works much better is to burn off that anxiety by going to the gym or for a run. The adrenaline in your body wants you to go into overdrive not start shutting down. So next time you feel your anxiety beginning to peek, put on your Nike's and just do it.

If the idea of giving up your caffeine makes you scream, "My precious," while feeling like Gollum from The Lord of the Rings, at least try cutting back on your caffeine intake.To cure your worries, the answers you need to look for the right medications and home remedies for Panic Attacks. Just what exactly is a panic attack? Does it also come with a panic button when you feel you are about to have one? More and more people are getting their own dose of panic attacks. Blame it on the fear of what the future may bring.

A panic attack is to be treated as a symptom of a far more complicated mental disorder. Pray that you would not progress to that stage yet since every person is granted one to two tastes of how it is to be ultra afraid of something that you cannot even fathom. From as simple as a bug that crawled near you to as full blown as some fear of dying real soon, unexplainable sources of fear could be a cause of Panic attacks.

If you are really into natural remedies for your panic attacks however, here is one of the best tips that you will get. Avoid drugs that affect your mood. Caffeine and nicotine are just bad, bad, bad anyway. So if you can get off of them, you will find that your body will return to its natural state and that with exercise and proper diet you will actually have more energy and feel healthier generally.

Alternative Therapies.There is a reason that ancient wisdom is ancient! Be open to Eastern healing techniques, as many of them are perfectly suited for calming the whole being. If the idea of acupuncture is too scary, consider a system of tapping on the various meridian points - as in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). This system has allowed thousands of people to not only move toward managing panic attacks, but to actually eliminating them for good. The best thing about this system is that it can be done in 5 or 10 minutes, and you can learn to do it for free.Change of Mind.Believe it or not the power of our thoughts, beliefs, and ideas play a major role in our life experiences. In addition to the powerful mental benefits of meditation and EFT on clearing, healing and relaxing the mind, other systems like "The Work" by Byron Katie, and hypnosis techniques can also have a powerful impact on managing panic attacks and creating a peaceful world within.While Byron Katie's Work, allows you to release stressful thoughts without having to experience trauma, hypnosis allows you to gently relax into a state of being that helps you to receive a more desirable thought suggestion.Because everyone is different, not only will some ideas for managing panic attacks work better, or more quickly for some, different folks will gravitate towards different solutions.The great thing about it is, you deserve to be peaceful, calm, and vibrant. By focusing on this truth, the right direction will at some point be found.
