The current market is flooded with supplementary products for various health and beauty related matters. It's for certain that there is something a consumer may take for much needed relief no matter if his or her problem is hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, acne or hair loss. Some people who are battling anxiety and refuse to pop medications in their mouths commonly take herbs and natural supplements that are meant for the said mental disorder.

Right now, about 40 million people in the United States suffer from anxiety. Clearly, it is an epidemic. While a highly treatable problem, mental health authorities confirm that a lot of afflicted individuals refuse to obtain professional assistance.

One of the reasons why so many people who are battling anxiety refrain to see psychiatrists is that they are daunted by taking medications. While highly effective, medications for the said mental illness are known to cause a variety of unfavorable side effects. Quitting them especially after their administration for a long period of time is likely to cause withdrawal symptoms. After surviving all sorts of withdrawal symptoms, what's known as rebound anxiety may show up.

Due to these reasons, so many of those with the mental disorder steer clear of taking medications. It's a good thing that there are so many all natural alternatives to medicating. Someone who is suffering from anxiety, for instance, may try one all natural remedy after the other until he or she comes across something that can really deliver.

One of the most commonly suggested solutions by therapists and counselors is taking slow, deep breaths. Lowering the respiratory rate to 6 to 8 per minute is scientifically proven to help calm the mind as well as body. It yields impressive results by putting under control various physical symptoms such as chest tightness, rapid heart rate, dizziness and tingling sensations in the extremities. All of the said physical symptoms can aggravate anxiety during an attack.

It's virtually impossible for you to run out of drug free remedies to try. A lot of people with the mental disorder swear by the effectiveness of getting massages, especially if it's coupled with aromatherapy. However, you can also attain relief even without going to the spa. At home, you may listen to music, read a book, take a relaxing bath or do yoga.

Someone who is battling anxiety may give certain supplementary products a try, too. They tend to come in the form of teas, capsules and pills. According to experts, they work by causing relaxation of the mind. It's for certain that the body will follow suit as soon as the mind is already put in a calm state.

There are some supplements being sold on the current market that are meant to be taken only when the consumer is feeling anxious. Then there are also those that have to be administered daily or a few times a day. Regardless of the case, a consumer must first get the go signal of his or her doctor before supplementing. This is true most especially if he or she has a medical condition.
