Cure Anxiety With Natural Herbs
Posted by admin on Dec 29, 2008
Anxiety is a complex disorder which has been described as a feeling of uneasiness in varying degrees. It is a condition with many facets and can be mild to extreme in intensity. Some medical conditions induce anxiety by their own nature whereas just living life can be anxiety producing for some people. In fact, anxiety can be a forerunner to depressive illnesses and should be treated as soon as practicable. In the early stages, the normal drugs prescribed by doctors may be avoided by trying some herbal alternatives.
Natural Remedies For Anxiety
More and more people are considering natural approaches than ever before. The side effects of some drugs used in medical treatments are one of the major causes of this trend. Recent experience has shown that anxiety responds well to natural alternatives especially when coupled with other life changes.
One of the major causes of anxiety is stress. Stress from the workplace is a common complaint in modern society, where heavy workloads place workers under unprecedented stress. A natural follow on is marital stress where work related issues infringe on home life with unpleasant results. Multifaceted stress is the result. Fortunately there are many herbs that provide a good base for the treatment of anxiety. Balm (Melissa Officinalis) and common lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) are two herbs that have been shown to be effective in reducing anxiety. Any good naturopath will be able to assist you with both the supply and recommended dosages of these herbs.
Finding Herbs to Treat Anxiety
Homeopathic Centers and specialty stores are a good source of these herbal products. Additionally many on-line resources are available for your consideration. My approach has always been to get correct dosages and strengths first and to do this you should consult a specialist. After that you will be more confident in obtaining the correct supplies on the net or at discount suppliers. Remember that herbs do not work as quickly as western medicines and you will need to be patient. This may be a struggle for someone experiencing anxiety, but the wait will be worth it and the cost should bee less than drugs. The side effects of the two herbs mentioned here are almost non existent, so you will experience no problems there.
Other Natural Ways to Combat Anxiety
There are many other alternatives to think about when treating anxiety. Yoga is a great therapy and is a time proven âtreatmentâ, but realistically, a way of life. Massage is another method to consider. My opinion is however, that massage should only be used as part of another method such as Yoga or herbal remedies. Anxiety must be treated at its core, and relaxation therapies hold the key if practiced as part of a holistic treatment. You should also consult a nutritionist as part of this approach to ensure every facet is covered.
As mentioned above, you will need to be patient for total changes to come into effect. As a precaution therefore, you should always get the permission of your doctor or at least advise her/him of your thinking so that your medication if any, can be adjusted as necessary.

I read somewhere that to take your mind off yourself, you should put it on someone else. Do a random act of kindness to someone, whether it be a stranger or someone you know in need. It gets you off you and that person won't forget it.

i'm not trying to push views on you or tell you to do it but after a stressful day i like to smoke some marijuana, quality is everything.
hot tea (of any legal herbs) also calms me down, i'm not a big chamomile person so its a lot of green tea and branching out and trying new flavors.

ME – No Anxiety here – Sweetie
The only thing that ever worked for me is Effexor XR. I tried St John's Wart, and a vitamin called SAM-e and neither of them worked. I really don't put too much faith in herbs, I have never met anyone that has been cured of anxiety/depression with herbs.
As far as books are concerned, the Anxiety and Phobia Workbook is a great book, I honestly think it was more helpful than my counselor was.
One thing that really helps is exercise. When my anxiety was really bad a few years ago, I used to go running, when I was done was I literally too exhausted to worry about anything.
Hope this helps….good luck!

Check this out with serious consideration. This will usually at least help if it doesn't take care of your condition(s) all together like it did for me!
Have you tried a Chiropractor for help? You can have undetected nerve compression, it can cause almost any kind health problems from immune disorders to asthma to depression to acid reflex to migraines to allergies even organ failure. Try having your spine examined by a good chiropractor that believes in the power of our central nervous system. Your brain controls every cell and part of your body threw nerve transmissions and if nerves are compressed your body will start to malfunction due to the lack of nerve impulses. Your central nervous system as well as the American diet has a lot to do with the conditions that people suffer from. Most doctors don't even understand our central nervous system therefore they don't know how to properly address conditions with out medications (with a 101 possible side effects) when nerve compression could be the root cause. For eight years I was suicidally hopeless with three young kids, no doctors out of many had a clue as to what was wrong with me and suggested that I was mental because of the many health problems afflicting me. I know the power our central nervous system because I was set free from chronic nerve pain (stinging, stabbing, burning, itching from my eyeballs to my rib cage to my head to toes, literally!) that was all over my body as well as many other health problems after my spine was treated from a good Chiropractor (his goal was to straighten my spine) without medications. Stretching my spine on an inversion table helped the most for me ( Three times a day for about a month I forced my spine to stretch. My spine pop loudly several different times and three weeks later most of my crazy symptoms started going away while nothing else help!). Oil base B-vitamins also helped a lot, there good for nerve transmissions. A lot of problems are also do to vitamin and mineral deficiency problems that doctors are unaware of. Acupuncture believe it or not works wonders for a lot of people too. Just remember it takes time and consistency when going the natural way but has far greater rewards than other methods so don't give up or get discouraged, just be consistent! You will never know what may help if you don't approach your situation with an optimistic open mind and be willing try new things like natural alternatives which has given me my life back when doctors were careless and clueless. Don't ever give up hope, pray for God's guidance and he will help you find the answers as he did for me(when nobody else could), sometimes you have to find your own cure, it's out there just keep searching! Although it might be your spine. I wish I had enough room to tell you my whole personal story! God bless. Try emofree.com

Why Sunrider foods?
The village well was poisoned and people fell sick. The doctors, the nurses, and the villagers all ran about buying new beds for the hospital, giving medicine, providing life-long care for those permanently crippled or diseased. They became very adept at treating the ill. They refined the medicines. They discovered new and stronger antidotes. They trained people to care for the sick. They built beautiful buildings to accommodate the chronically ill. Better treatment procedures were invented with marvelous mechanical devices. Emergency services were developed to a remarkable degree of efficiency. There had never been better medical care anywhere. But the patients kept coming and the statistics kept rising because no one treated the source of the problem – the poisoned well. Today our culture is a poisoned well. Even our medical system is not health promoting – it’s a “disease care system” that focuses on illness after the damage has been done. It has become a salvage operation that mainly specializes in the management of the victims.
Isn’t it time to shift the paradigm? Wouldn’t it be wiser to prevent the disease instead of having to treat it? Health is NOT determined by the doctor’s intellect, training or the size of the hospital. In a large part, it is determined by our knife and fork.
Why Sunrider Foods?
I am often confronted with the question, “WHY SUNRIDER? WHY SHOULD I EAT SUNRIDER FOODS IF I AM ALREADY EATING A BALANCED DIET? Good question! Let’s look at some reasons why.
Dr. Melcher Dikkers, Loyola University states: “There is no doubt that malnutrition is the most important problem confronting mankind at the present time.” Dr. Michael Colgan, author of Your Personal Vitamin Profile states: “Americans are malnourished. Even when we think we are eating a balanced diet, our systems still suffer from the lack of nutrients in foods. For example, raw carrots differ widely in beta-carotene content, often showing variances from 18,000 International Units (IU) to 70 IU per 3 ½-ounce sample. Wheat from the United States has been rejected at China’s ports because the protein content was so low. U.S. Agriculture figures show that today’s wheat often contains only 20% of the protein it used to have.”
The Congress of the United States is also aware of this problem of our depleted soil. The following excerpts on mineral deficient soils, plants and foods, are part of Senate Document #264 as adopted and ordered reprinted by the second session of the 74th Congress of the United States of America in 1936:
The impoverished soil of America no longer provides plant foods with the mineral elements essential to human nourishment and health.
Laboratory tests prove that the fruits, vegetables, grains, eggs, and even the milk and meats of today are not what they were a few generations ago.
No man of today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his system with the minerals he requires for perfect health because his stomach is not big enough to hold them.
Physical, mental and moral fitness depend largely upon an ample supply and a proper proportion of the minerals in our food.
The iron content in tomatoes grown in 1948 was 969 parts per million (ppm) and only 5ppm in 1963. In a span of only 15 years the average drop of iron was more than 90%. It is only reasonable to assume that there is also a drastic decline in other essential vitamins and minerals as well.
Larry Ephron, Ph.D. in The End states: “A recent United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) study found that the majority of Americans – supposedly the best fed people in the world – are getting less than 70% of the recommended daily allowances of calcium, iron and magnesium. And if a deficiency in any one nutrient is a sign of inadequate nutrition, more than 80% of Americans are suffering from malnutrition.”
Dr William A. Albrecht says: “Depleted soils produce deficient foods and deficient foods bring us ill health. Two food items may look alike, but one may have everything such a food should have because it was grown on healthy soil, while the other is worth no more than a glass of water if grown on sick soil.” In other words, a plant can only contain all the nutritional value it receives from the soil – minerals, vitamins, iron and the like. If it was not there in the first place, it is not in the fruit, vegetables, grains, seeds, or nuts we are consuming. What kind of nutrition do you suppose we find in the produce purchased from our local grocery stores? You need to know that all Sunrider foods are made from food-grade herbs (not medicinal) grown in fertile, healthy soil in China, Taiwan, and other parts of Asia. They contain no preservatives, harmful chemicals, pesticides, wax coatings, irradiation, food coloring, artificial flavoring, artificial sweeteners or genetic modification.
Did you know the more we do to food, the less value it has? For example, foods that are:
Raw0% enzyme/nutrition loss
Juiced0% enzyme/nutrition loss
Dried2-5% enzyme/nutrition loss
Frozen3-30% enzyme/nutrition loss
Steamed15-60% enzyme/nutrition loss
Cooked40-100% enzyme/nutrition loss
Canned100% enzyme/nutrition loss
Microwaved100% enzyme/nutrition loss
Pasteurized100% enzyme/nutrition loss
Processed100% enzyme/nutrition loss
Irradiated100% enzyme/nutrition loss
What about enzymes?
If you don’t put enough nutrition into your body, your body has to “borrow” from its lifespan and you will eventually “go into debt” healthwise. Your body is then forced to borrow enzymes from critical functions just to keep it alive until a whole, live food source is provided again. Sunrider foods contain live enzymes in the right amounts for your body including all major organs, so it can balance itself and begin the process of regeneration, producing healthy new cells. At some point in time, we all have to make the decision about whether we want to create health/regeneration or disease/degeneration in our bodies. Why not choose to get on the road to regeneration? Actually being able to reverse the disease processes that have been accumulating in our body for years is a gift that Dr. Chen has given us in Sunrider Foods based on the “Philosophy of Regeneration.” It’s simple and easy – all we have to do is add these superior whole food concentrates to our daily routine.
What About the Acid/Alkaline Balance In Our Body?
The acid/alkaline balance in our body is one of the most significant phenomena of human physiology. Our body always strives to keep our blood balanced at 7.4pH. If our blood drops below 7.4pH we will die from acidosis. The way our body keeps the 7.4pH balance is through the alkaline minerals derived from the whole, raw foods that we eat. When food is overcooked, processed, canned, microwaved, pasteurized, or irradiated, it becomes acidic. All meat, dairy, eggs, and flours are acidic foods. Our diets should consist of 80% alkaline foods such as vegetables, fruits, grains, lentils, pasta, and rice. Sunrider foods are concentrated alkaline plant foods with all of its naturally occurring enzymes and nutrients still intact.
Let’s Get Back To The Question: “Why Sunrider Foods?”
It is simply the best way to nourish the body with live, organic whole foods, enzymes, vitamins and minerals that it needs.
They are food grade herbs formulated to nourish, balance, and cleanse the cells of the body.
Will provide raw materials to the cells that the body needs to regenerate itself.
Contains essential amino acids, fatty acids, glucose, proteins, vitamins and minerals.
Balanced and natural source of whole food concentrates that harmonize with the body.
Provide the body with vital, life-giving nutrients not available in commercial agriculture.
Are low in fat and sodium with NO cholesterol.
They are plant foods “as grown” and as close to nature as possible, still in their raw state, but have been cleaned, enhanced, ground up, formulated, extracted, concentrated, juiced and spray dried into liquid and powder form, resulting in vibrant food that will nourish, balance, and cleanse the body.
In short, we eat Sunrider foods to regenerate our bodies by filling in the nutritional “gap” found in our modern diet. They provide us with powerful plant nutrients that we cannot find in grocery stores. Dr. Tei Fu Chen, founder and owner of Sunrider International, has exhaustive knowledge about herbs and food pharmacology that enables him to extract nutrients without disturbing the synergy of the original plants. We have the opportunity to eat these foods and give our body the nourishment it craves and the regeneration it needs.
Health Challenges
If you have health challenges, eat as much Sunrider food as you can, along with whole natural foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, legumes, lentils, pasta, and rice. We need to reduce our consumption of meat, dairy, and eggs that are acidic foods, high in fat and cholesterol. In the last 25 years, modern epidemiology (the branch of medicine that deals with the incidence, distribution and possible control of diseases and other factors relating to health) has taught us that modern killer diseases are largely related to lifestyle and what we do with our knife and fork. We need to take charge of our lifestyle by adding Sunrider foods to our daily diet so we can restore our body to a higher level of health.
