Home Remedies For Panic Attacks

By Chung Chu


So maybe you feel the thought of taking manufactured drugs for panic attacks is just scary. Even though the medical community says they are safe and that you will be helped by them, it just seems like the first thing any physician wants to do is to drug you up with the latest pharmaceutical concoction. Then a few years later you start hearing about all the nasty side-effects that they hadn't noticed in the original studies. No. You're not into being the medical community's guinea pig. Instead of taking some laboratory manufactured drug, why not look for ways to use your body's own natural remedies for panic attacks. So here are some natural remedies for panic attacks:

Grape juice? Seriously? Is that same grape juice that your mother would never let you drink on the carpet considered to be one of the most effective remedies for panic attacks? Oddly, the answer is, "Yes."Grape juice is believed to prevent heart palpitations, which can be one of the more disconcerting symptoms of panic attacks. For greatest benefit, grape juice should be consumed on a daily basis.Tropical Remedy.Ripe guava is believed to prevent heart palpitations and ease anxiety. Maybe that explains why the castaways of "Gilligan's Island" didn't have panic attacks when the headhunters showed up on the island.Note: Guava juice is typically diluted with other juices and is not believed to be an effective home remedy.

Exercise - Even your doctor will agree with this one: perhaps the best of the natural remedies for panic attacks is exercise. Nothing beats exercise. You see, a panic attack is a disorder where your nervous system shoots adrenaline into your body mimicking the flight or fight response that you get to help you survive life threatening situations. So, when you sit down and try to relax-like a lot of medical professionals will tell you-you are actually working against your body's own natural inclination.

What actually works much better is to burn off that anxiety by going to the gym or for a run. The adrenaline in your body wants you to go into overdrive not start shutting down. So next time you feel your anxiety beginning to peek, put on your Nike's and just do it.

Also, generally speaking, studies have found that people who exercise regularly (not just when having panic attacks) are far less likely to have panic attacks to begin with. When they do have panic attacks they are less severe and less frequent. Nothing Beats Exercise!

A panic attack is to be treated as a symptom of a far more complicated mental disorder. Pray that you would not progress to that stage yet since every person is granted one to two tastes of how it is to be ultra afraid of something that you cannot even fathom. From as simple as a bug that crawled near you to as full blown as some fear of dying real soon, unexplainable sources of fear could be a cause of Panic attacks.

If you are really into natural remedies for your panic attacks however, here is one of the best tips that you will get. Avoid drugs that affect your mood. Caffeine and nicotine are just bad, bad, bad anyway. So if you can get off of them, you will find that your body will return to its natural state and that with exercise and proper diet you will actually have more energy and feel healthier generally.

All of these will help you fight off panic attacks. Also, alcohol and other forms of recreational drugs (yeah, I'm talking about pot) may give you a temporary feeling of calmness, they are actually stealing your body's ability to naturally deal with anxiety. So when you use these drugs recreation ally, you may feel good at the time, but the next day, hung over and tired, you are far more prone to having attacks. You are also far less likely to exercise regularly and maintain a healthy diet if you are a regular user of recreational drugs.Put simply, the best natural remedies for panic attacks-deep breathing, exercise and avoiding drugs-are just another way of saying: "Live well." There is just no substitute for a healthy lifestyle. Try it! You might find you really like it!
