Cure Panic Attacks Naturally
I have experienced panic attacks every day for the past 2 years. As a last resort I visited my doctor who prescribed Xanax. However, I’m very reluctant to take the medication because I would prefer a natural way of treating the panic attacks. I decided to ask friends and family members what panic attacks treatment works for them when they are feeling anxious as I am willing to give anything a try! I thought it would be a good idea to share the ideas I received with you.
One suggestion was to drink camomile tea because it is thought to be very calming. Also suggested was fish oil vitamins and vitamin B complex. Also to try taking St John’s Wort and Melatonin.
I also decided to look on some forums so I could ask some panic attack sufferers for advice. A couple of people suggested breathing into a paper bag as an effective short-term treatment for overcoming panic attacks. However, I’ve been reading more about this and I discovered that this treatment has also been criticised for not being very effective and actually can potentially increase the severity of the panic attack. This is because the technique can lower oxygen levels and increase carbon dioxide levels in the blood – an imbalance which is thought to bring a panic attack on.
Cognitive behaviour therapy was suggested to stop panic attacks. In this treatment of panic attacks the person’s mind is ‘retrained’ to think differently about the panic attacks. Counseling was a suggestion to try and find the root cause and problem of the panic attacks.
So now I have lots of things to try out, hopefully one of them will work for me and I won’t have to take the medications prescribed. Hope you have found them useful.
