Natural Remedies for Panic Attacks

January 30th, 2010 | by admin |

 

Natural remedies will prevent and stop the nightmarish and unpredictable panic attacks you have been experiencing. Natural remedies will put you get in control of your panic attacks by helping you safely eliminate them for good.

A naturopathic doctor can recommend natural remedies for panic attacks. Natural remedies can be in the form of herbs, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other alternative forms of treatments considered to be safe and effective to prevent or stop panic attacks.

Many times when herbs or other supplements are recommended as natural remedies for panic attacks, they are prescribed in combinations. A naturopathic doctor will help you select combinations of herbs that work well together. Herbs often work best in combination. The active ingredients play off of each other resulting in greater effectiveness for preventing or stopping anxiety or panic attacks.

Dr. Veronica Hayduk, a licensed and board-certified primary care naturopathic doctor, has an interesting twist on herbs used in combination. Dr Hayduk said that “herbs are like friends and combos tend to work better. Herbs are like people, they have their own personality that needs to be matched to the patient and their concerns and what’s driving the anxiety”.

Two herbs frequently used as natural remedies for anxiety and panic attacks are passionflower and lemon balm. Both of these herbs have been clinically tested and proven safe and effective for treating anxiety.

Passionflower has been used successfully for centuries to treat anxiety. It is also been determined that passionflower can reduce the pain and suffering caused by withdrawals from anxiety drugs. So if you are either in the process of quitting anxiety drugs, or are thinking about quitting, passionflower could be a very gentle, yet effective herb, to help you better tolerate the withdrawal process. There are no known negative side effects of Passionflower.

Lemon Balm is also a very safe, gentle and effective alternative herbal anxiety medicine that acts like a tranquilizer. Lemon Balm is an interesting herb in that it also has thyroid regulating properties. If you have an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroid) lemon balm may reduce the thyroid gland secretions. Lemon Balm is often used in combination with passionflower to prevent and stop panic attacks.

Consulting with a health care practitioner that has been trained in botanical medicine will take the guesswork out of the task of determining which natural remedies work best for you.

    Read "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle. It’s not specifically geared to that problem, but it is an excellent little book on how to get through various suffering, physical and mental.

    I have tried all of the suggested natural remedies, and none of them ever did any good. The only thing that helped me are tranquilizers prescribed by a physician. Panic attacks are serious and should not be treated lightly. If it has continued for more than a couple of weeks, he should seek professional care.
