To answer your question: Yes, there are some simple Exercises for Anxiety, little alterations that you can make to reduce the tension. Many anxiety/depression experts will recommend breathing tactics to use during an “attack,” but I’ve found setting a few minutes aside each morning to train my body to breathe correctly has been the most natural way. And of course, there are definite foods you should avoid (acidic, etc.). And hearty exercise is a must. But I’ll leave the details to the article, Hun.

Take care,

Jenny

There are so many natural remedies for Anxiety on the Web it is easy to become overwhelmed – creams and pills, lotions and herbs, chants and stretches, new ways to breathe and new things to smell. It’s a lot – even if you just confine your investigative work to one area.

Take herbs. Something so simple as a plant (I speak unscientifically) should not be this confusing! I mean there are literally dozens and Dozens of anxiety herbs, all of them claiming something different and something similar. And then there are the potential side effects (much less than prescription medication which is notorious for its addictive tendencies, but still they exist and who knows if they will for you?!).

So here’s the cream of the crop – the best Natural Treatments for Anxiety. Take some of the suggestions and dig in online!

This is going to be a quick post – No time for a picture today (sorry okay??) but I posted this article awhile back, explaining how to use a triage of Natural Treatments for Depression: herbs, aromatherapy and acupuncture… (this one’s for you Debbie!)

Thanks for the read … and email your thoughts or questions … or tips! Love to read them.

Here’s a nifty little list of the Depression Herbs and what they do, so you can know which ones to take for your depression symptoms.

Don’t worry – it’s not anything crazy! (And don’t try all of them at once!! Remember, one thing at a time.) But I think this condensed list is just what some of you have been looking for.

If you try some (or have had some interesting experiences with some of these herbs in the past), shoot me an email. I’d love to hear from you!

Anxiety varies a lot. It can be mild, moderate or severe. It can be triggered by a person or a situation (panic attack). Or it can be a constant state (GAD).

The best way to find out if you are too anxious is to take an anxiety test. There are many self anxiety tests online that range from just the basics to determining if you have a specific kind of anxiety.

Here’s an article on anxiety tests to get you started.

Happy testing – Jenny

I know some of you had your first anxiety attack at the mall or while shopping. It was frightening and completely unprovoked. But there it was – all the symptoms of an anxiety attack (racing heartbeat, tight chest, difficulty breathing) right there in public.

Well, this article Coping with Anxiety Attacks identifies with that and gives some practical advice about coping.

Enjoy the read … Jenny

Good luck,

Anxiety disorder is the biggest health problem in the US, affecting 25% of adults (30 Million). Although we don’t have statistics yet, anxiety disorders affect many children – generalized anxiety disorder or GAD, in particular. The signs are easy to overlook or misjudge. You may find this short article Generalized Anxiety Disorder in Children helpful.

Hope you enjoy … let me know what you think!

As a former sufferer of anxiety attacks myself for the last ten years, I really want to help everyone who is suffering overcome this dreadful condition. It took me awhile to find something that actually worked…I guess I was one of those who started off trying all the wrong things first…before finding something that did it. You can visit my website to find out more.

Appreciate you reading my post!

When it comes to mental disorders, depression and anxiety frequently go together.

Pills are an easy crutch, but they aren’t a solution or a cure to what’s ailing you. Here’s a little something I wrote 4 Rules for Living with Depression to help you beat the blues.

It’s frank and funny…

Cheers!
