Anxiety attacks are hard to treat,
as unexpected situations, can make a
person to lose control of their body,
with symptoms that include tachycardia,
sweating, tremors, and temporary loss of
hearing or vision. In this post, we'll
give you seven tips to help you calm
down, and naturally relax at the first
symptoms of an anxiety attack. 1- The rescue remedy
One of the most effective treatments, as its name suggests, is the rescue remedy. This formula combines several floral essences, to come to the aid during any emergency, nervous breakdown or states of shock. The rescue remedy is a mixture of five-buck flowers; cherry plum, clematis, impatiens, rockrose, star of bethlehem. They can be purchased in herbalist shops and some pharmacies. This remedy can be used by anyone as it comes with no contraindications. It's a good idea to always have some on hand. At the first signs of an anxiety attack, place four drops in a glass, of water and sip slowly.
2- Breath control
Breathing deeply is crucial during any crisis, because the symptoms can come on so quickly. That's why it's so important to focus, on your breath as soon as, you feel it beginning to accelerate. Breathing in for a count of five, and then out for a count of seven, will help you focus your mind, and relax your body. Deep breathing will also help get rid of the flight-or-fight response, that anxiety often triggers in our bodies.
3- Eye movements
Eye movements can help control anxiety, sadness, and depression. When you're feeling down, your eyes are often looking down. So to combat and prevent anxiety, you need to force yourself to look up. You need to do this with your eyes, not your head. In just a few minutes, you'll notice the negative feelings disappearing.
4- Essential oils
Essential oils have therapeutic properties, that we can take advantage of to treat, and prevent health problems. To treat an anxiety attack, we want to choose essential oils with relaxing, and balancing properties. Don't be afraid to take your personal preferences into account as well. We recommend the following essential oils; lavender, basil, cedar, oregano, orange, chamomile.
5- Cold water on the eyelids
A simple trick to prevent an anxiety attack involves, applying a stream of cold water, over your closed eyes. If you want, you can use it on the rest of the face as well. Cold hydrotherapy is a really simple natural way, to relax the body, and prevent an attack.
6- Magnesium bath
Magnesium is a mineral that has an important balancing effect, on the nervous system. It's most commonly consumed, as a supplement. For a faster effect, you can take a bath with magnesium sulfate, otherwise known as Epsom salt. Add a half a cup of Epsom salt to your regular bath, and soak in it for at least 20 minutes. The bath will relax and revitalize you without needing to take a magnesium supplement.
7- Personalized homeopathy
Homeopathy is a type of natural medicine, that allows you to treat health problems, without any contraindications or side effects. Ideally, you should consult a homeopathic professional, to evaluate your case, and recommend personalized homeopathic medication and treatment. This way you can always keep, what you need on hand, to take as a preventative, at the first signs of an anxiety attack.
