I'll be blunt, panic attacks suck. Luckily there are natural ways of treating anxiety that people out there are dealing with their panic attacks without resorting to prescription drugs.
Breathing Techniques — Ancient traditions have long used breath-work to stay calm and grounded. Meditation and Yoga are quick to come to mind. You can use your breath to relax your physical body and quiet your mind. Panic attacks usually start with a person's breathing. Fast and shallow breathing can escalate to a strong anxiety attack. You can often stop a panic attack by learning to take deep, and slow breaths when you feel an attack coming on.
Herbs and Herbally Infused Teas — Prescription drugs come with all sorts of side effects that many people just cannot accept. To avoid these side effects, you may consider herbal remedies. These often include valerian, chamomile, California poppy, passion flower, kava kava, or lemon balm. I can be challenging to estimate the right dose. Each person is unique and they will need a dose that is specific to them.
Homeopathy — These mixtures of herbs can be effective in treating panic and anxiety problems. Flowers mixed together form the basis of Bach Flower Remedies. The Rescue Remedy is used by many to soothe panic and anxiety. Also be on the lookout for “Kali Phos 6x” which is designed to help with the nervous system. Specifically when it is exhausted from panic or anxiety.
Alternative Therapies — Ever thought about acupuncture? It is an ancient art that aligns the body's chi, or energy. If the thought of becoming a human pin cushion doesn't appeal to you try the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). You can get the same benefits as acupuncture, but without the needles. You can do this yourself in just a few minutes.
Everyone is unique, so some of the above remedies for anxiety disorders may be more effective.
