Natural remedy for anxiety Every person, child or adult, has at some point in their lives suffered from anxiety and a person can suffer from a number of anxiety disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), various phobias, and panic disorders. You cannot diagnose these conditions in a lab because they are usually very subjective and the symptoms cover a wide gamut of combinations. However, you should undergo medical tests to rule out any ailments such as thyroid problems, alcohol-related problems, and prescription medication.
To soothe your anxiety problems, you could use the herbs Kava Kava and St John's Wort. Kava Kava works by calming your system and provides you with a happy, exhilarated feeling. This herb is also a gentle sedative and helps to relax your muscles. Grind the roots of the kava kava herb, mix the powder in water and drink it. In addition to its calming properties, St John's Wort is a restorative herb which is usually prescribed for anxiety and stress. You must remember that you cannot use either of these herbs in conjunction with your allopathic anti-depressant drugs. You can also use massage therapy to relieve your stress symptoms and enable you to sleep more peacefully. Aromatherapy is also thought to be very beneficial for anxiety. Use the essential oils of ylang-ylang, cypress, lavender, and rose to treat your anxiety.
