Take a look at how our nervous system handles anxiety:
Essentially, anxiety is part of the "fight or flight" mechanism, That warning system is still necessary for today's emergencies The trouble is, we experience the manifestations of the "fight or flight" mechanism even when it's not really appropriate to our modern day stressors.
Unfortunately, although they're not real, anxiety attacks are very dangerous since when you are having one, it is virtually impossible to convince you that everything is going to be O.K.
Here are some suggestions for home remedies (made with household ingredients) that can help:
Use baking soda. Add half a cup baking soda and third of a cup of ginger to a nice warm bath. Soak for 15 minutes to relieve tension and anxiety
Drink Almonds. Soak 10 raw almonds overnight in water to soften, then peel off the skins. Put almonds in blender with 1 cup warm milk, a pinch of ginger, and a pinch of nutmeg. Drink at night to help you relax before going to bed
Orange juice. For a racing heart rate associated with anxiety, stir 1 teaspoon honey and a pinch of nutmeg into 1 cup orange juice and drink.
Relaxing Rosemary. Used in the Middle Ages to ward off "evil spirits," rosemary has a calming effect on the nerves. Make a tea by adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of the dried herb to 1 cup boiling water; steep for 10 minutes, then drink. Inhaling rosemary can be relaxing, too. Burn a sprig, or use rosemary incense to ease anxiety.
And Remember
Talk to a friend or a psychotherapist or a clergyman. Talking about it can relieve your anxiety.
Keep a list of foods and events that might trigger anxiety, you can eliminate some of it simply by knowing it.
Use exercise to relax. walking, cycling, or swimming are good seeing they are not competitive sports.
Breathe in and out, slowly, deeply. it is relaxing and it will help you.
