Top 5 Anxiety Natural Remedies

Looking for anxiety natural remedies?  Not too keen on the prescription drugs that doctors will try to give you?  Look no further as we have the best anxiety natural remedies right here for you.

What Is Anxiety?

Anxiety is generally defined as a prolonged state of being worried and feeling nervous that can be triggered by any number of events.  It is typically built up after some premeditation on a certain event, such as an uncomfortable social situation, or revisiting a traumatic place or event.

What Are Some Anxiety Natural Remedies?

deep breathing relaxationFirst and foremost, breathe.  Deep breathing is the best of the anxiety natural remedies – and it’s free!  Inhale through your nose until your lungs are fully inflated, hold your breath, and release the air either through your nose or through pursed lips.  If you are feeling an onset of anxiety, this is definitely the most effective and best place to start compared to all other anxiety natural remedies.

A warm bath is another favorite amongst the anxiety natural remedies that will help melt your worries away.  Try adding some lavender oil to your bath to totally relax and unwind after a stressful day.

Let’s talk about exercise.  Exercise is not only one of the best anxiety natural remedies, but it is also fantastic for those who are seeking high blood pressure natural remedies and, of course, natural weight loss remedies.  Getting out for a brisk 20 minute walk every day will do wonders for your heart and health.

Now, what do you need after a lot of exercise?  A good massage!  A massage is one of the top remedies, as it helps get rid of any muscle tension, improve your sleep as well as relieve stress.

NOTE:  Massage is one of the most popular ancient natural healing remedies out there, so definitely indulge in one every once in a while!

natural herbal supplementsWhat you may also want to consider  is taking herbal supplements to help eliminate your worries.  I highly recommend both passionflower and motherwort.  Studies on passionflower have shown that it is just as effective for some as benzodiazepine prescription drugs, and it also offers less drowsiness then prescribed meds.  Motherwort is also one of the top anxiety natural remedies, as it helps lower blood pressure, lift depression (which can cause anxiety) and keep us pain-free.

What You Should Know Before Starting With Your Anti-anxiety Plan

When considering natural remedies there are a couple of warnings that you should be aware of.  If you are planning to start a rather rigorous exercise plan as part of your anxiety natural remedies, do be sure to consult your physician to be sure that you are physically able to handle the exercise plan you have in mind.

If you are planning on using herbs, beware of the side effects you may experience.  Passionflowers, for example, may make you feel nauseous,  drowsy, or increase your heart rate.  Always check with your doctor before using any herbal  remedies to ensure that there will be no complications, particularly if you are pregnant or nursing.
