Natural Anxiety Treatment

The need for emergency treatment is increasing as more and more people in the developed world appear to be suffering from this condition. It is estimated that 25% of Americans may need emergency treatment at some point in their lives. Anxiety can cause hypertension - also known as high blood pressure - which can have very serious health effects. Emergency treatment can be effective in reducing high blood pressure and is therefore an important aid in overall health. However, modern medicine and the pharmaceutical industry have been conflicted to raise concerns as 'disease'. the 'cured' by the medicines they are more than happy to sell you. The reality is that the best emergency treatment starts with taking care of the whole body, both mentally and physically, and achieving good overall health. As health improves, symptoms of anxiety disappear, and there is no residual effect of drug therapy to deal with the condition after it is gone.

Symptoms of Anxiety

Anxiety is a chronic condition that can increase low-level stress to a full anxiety attack. Symptoms of an anxiety attack can frighten someone who is experiencing it; Heart palpitations, hot flashes, difficulty breathing, dizziness and loss of balance are common experiences. Heavy sweating, swelling of the face and breaking of the nest are also symptoms. Digestion is often affected, with cramps and bloating common. Headache, chest pain, sensation of tingling, pupil release, nausea and chills are all reported symptoms. Add to this the scary emotions of anxiety, panic, feeling overwhelmed, feeling your life threatened and the need to escape, and you have a very serious set of symptoms. No wonder emergency treatment is in demand.

Medical Emergency Treatment

The standard medical response to anxiety is to prescribe anti-depressants and anxiolytics, usually in the form of Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. There are many brands associated with SRI drugs, and they are often very helpful in reducing symptoms. The problem is that drugs can be quite addictive, and have many side effects associated with them, some of which can be more debilitating than anxiety itself. Also, serious withdrawal effects are often weeks or months ago when trying to remove anti-depression. Unfortunately, the medical community often does not tell patients the seriousness of side effects and withdrawal symptoms before making a cure for a condition where many alternative treatments exist.

Emergency Alternative Treatment

Hypnotherapy Hypnotherapy can be a very effective emergency treatment. In hypnotherapy, deep relaxation is induced, and positive suggestions and images are embedded into the subconscious that can extend the relaxation beyond the hypnotherapy session. There are no side effects, and no chemicals are introduced into the body. In addition to just relieving symptoms, hypnotherapy can lay the groundwork for overall mental changes that lead to better physical conditions, such as the desire to exercise and eat healthy foods. Each element is part of a holistic plan to improve the overall health of the patient and reduce or eliminate anxiety altogether.

Herbal Emergency Treatment Many herbs have a calming effect, and unlike synthetic chemicals, they have no addictive quality or heavy side effects. Ginseng, Lemon Balm, Valerian, St John's Wort, Kava Kava, Bugleweed, Catnip and Chamomile have all been used effectively to deal with stress and anxiety. These herbs can be found at any health food store, and often at a grocery or convenience store. Unlike prescription SRI is not required, so trying herbal remedies is an easy first option before taking a tougher chemical in an emergency.

Diet and Emergency Treatment Training Anxiety is a bio-chemical condition, so medical organizations like to treat it with synthetic chemicals. But one of the best ways to influence bio-chemistry, with just the right side effects, is to eat healthy foods and get lots of exercise. Unfortunately, an extremely poor average diet of obesity and poor physical fitness is very common, as is anxiety. In addition to eating healthy foods with lots of fruits and vegetables, daily complex vitamin B supplements are recommended. Vitamin B helps in the formation of neurotransmitters, which regulate communication in the brain, and are important for mood and mental function. Calcium is also useful as a supplement, especially for women, and should be taken when trying for emergency treatment.

In addition, eliminating foods and toxic activities, such as caffeine and smoking, can do many things to improve symptoms of anxiety. Physical exercise reduces stress, and improves circulation, digestion, breathing and flexibility, thereby creating optimal health and reducing or eliminating anxiety.

Anxiety can be a very serious condition and the need for emergency therapy is high. However, unlike the way the medical establishment and the pharmaceutical industry describe it, anxiety is not a communicable disease like flu. Therefore, rather than taking synthetic drugs that have serious side effects and are often addictive, it is better to view anxiety as a lifestyle symptom. By making healthy lifestyle choices, and acting on those choices, the symptoms of anxiety most likely will be eliminated. In severe cases, anti-depressants can be used to relieve symptoms and start a healthy routine. But it is necessary to withdraw from the drug and not allow side effects to recreate the symptoms you are trying to get rid of in the first place. The best place to start is to take a serious stand on your health, and make it a priority. With good health many diseases are 'chronic' our society is suffering just to disappear.
