Natural Solutions to heal Anxiety
Natural, Sustainable, Effective.
Before turning to medication, I encourage everyone to cultivate some tools and practices to help combat anxiety that are much safer, and more effective, in the long run. Although temporarily necessary in some cases, Benzo’s such as Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, Valium, etc. are really hard to stop taking once you start.
Don’t fix a problem by creating a problem.
6 Natural Solutions To Alleviate Anxiety
Have your doctor examine your bloodwork. Specifically, have them check for hypoglycemia, anemia, low iron, and hyperthyroidism.
Supplements. Try theanine, magnesium, ashwagandha, gaba, valerian root, kava, or relora. Find one that works best for you.
Try a 30-Day Elimination Diet. Eliminate gluten, dairy, soy, corn, eggs and fast food. Also caffeine and alcohol if you’re feeling ambitious. Food sensitivities or allergies are a common cause of anxiety.
Develop a consistent stress relief practice. Try mediation, breathwork, prayer, or therapy.
Relaxing forms of exercise such as yoga, walking, or tai chi.
Eliminate artificial dyes, preservatives and sweeteners from your diet.
