Herbs For Anxiety vs Prescription Medications
Reports say that over 19 million people in the US suffer from anxiety of one kind or another. Really we all do, at least sometimes. But when it turns into a really serious problem and starts screwing up your life it doesn't really matter if it's generalized anxiety disorder, anxiety panic attacks, social anxiety disorder or whatever the latest shrink-wrapped term is. When it gets serious it goes way beyond just being nervous. However, it can be treated. In fact, for some, simple short-term verbal or desensitization/relaxation therapy, either individual or group will let you get on with your life without way too much anxiety or nasty panic attacks.
Still, what can happen for some is that if these kinds of treatments aren't effective enough, then medications are often prescribed. The problem with almost all prescription medications is that they are artificial - not something your body or mind has evolved to deal with, and they have powerful and unwanted side effects. To cure your anxiety by exchanging it for an addiction to one of the benzodiazepine tranquilizers, for instance, doesn't seem like a good move. And there can be other frightening side effects. Anti-depressant medications are sometimes used because of the anxiety-depression connection, but they can have even more serious side effects.
I discovered that there are a variety of herbs and essential oils which have been used as natural remedies for anxiety for ages. Now you can go out and get some of these in dried - or, depending on where you live, even fresh form, but the problem with using herbs for anxiety that haven't been selected carefully, tested, and formulated into the most effective mixture and medium for use, is the variation in content of active ingredients and the necessity to essentially become an experienced herbalist to create consistent and useful herbal remedies. It's not impossible, of course, and it is really fascinating to work with natural ingredients and learn about traditional formulas, but I don't suppose it has that much appeal for a lot of busy people.
So after trying a lot of things, I came more and more to rely on the products from Native Remedies. The herbal remedies they produce use the highest quality ingredients, in therapeutic dosages, and are produced in controlled, pharmaceutical conditions. And that's the way they achieve the necessary potency and rigorous consistency. I may have had an interesting time doing my own compounding, but I have to admit that the stuff I produced wasn't as effective for me as Native Remedies professionally made products.
One of the very best parts of these kind of natural remedies is that there are NO side effects (but, please remember, they do affect your body and mind so you have to follow the directions). They may not work for all conditions and all people (we do vary quite a lot), so if you keep having problems despite taking one of the natural remedies for anxiety or a natural supplement for panic attacks, you should consult your doctor or health practitioner. In fact, you probably should anyway since more and more doctors these days are aware of and support alternative medical techniques.

Some Comments on these Natural Anxiety Remedies
Sometimes people like to get an idea of other peoples experiences. These are all real, unedited comments. They do come from Native Remedies so they are from happy customers.
"My ten year old son suffered from severe panic attacks, i.e. shaking uncontrollably, crying being violently sick and finally a severe nosebleed. After taking PureCalm he instantly felt better and we haven't had a panic attack for months. In fact my husband has been having a really stressful time at work and his patience has worn thin. He has been taking the drops and swears they help him stay calm and get through the day. I live in the UK and the doctors here prescribed strong medication for my son I really didn't want him to take them so this product is my saving grace."- Mrs. Yvonne T. from the UK
"I have to say I was weary at first of Herbal Remedies. I took a chance and ordered some MindSoothe. After 4 weeks of taken MindSoothe, I seen results instantly from my depressed feeling. I feel more relaxed & calm. I even had close friends asking me, "What happened to you?" Your so positive and happy. The best benefit of taking MindSoothe their is no side affects what so ever. I will continue using this product cause to me it's a miracle cure answered. I'm very satisfied. Thanks!" - Richelle
"I have personally prescribed a variety of Native Remedies Products over the past year and have been pleasantly surprised by the excellent results that have been achieved. I can thoroughly recommend a trial..." - Dr JF Cumming MB BS (LONDON), Private Practitioner and GP
"I have been married to my wife for 37 years and we have shared many difficult times together. As she went thru the change of life around her mid forties, I noticed a change in her ability to manage stress in her life. She has tried many different items on the market to help her over come her feelings of anxiety; but none has helped. She has been using PureCalm for only three weeks, but we both have observed a noticeable change in her ability to remain in control, adjust to changes in our schedule / life and most importantly; she is able to work thru stress issues. She has had no negative side affects, just a calm in control feeling in her daily life." - John R.
"I have been using Native Remedies' Products in my practice for the past two years. Both children and adults have benefited from the effects of the remedies and I can comfortably say that the response has been outstanding. " Victoria Whitefield, Psychologist and Licensed Counselor in Private Practice
"I want to recommend your Triple Complex nerve Tonic to all who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. Since taking them I have noticed a decrease in my anxiety levels and far fewer panic attacks. If I do feel that I am about to have an attack or my anxiety goes up, I suck two tablets which really helps me to feel better" - Sabrina.
Other Approaches to Treating Panic Disorders and Anxiety
There are two well-regarded programs which I'm listing here that you could investigate. Both have a track record of satisfied customers, both have been around for a while, are reasonably priced and come with a money-back guarantee.
Which is better? In this case I'd have to say that it depends on you and what kinds of learning material you respond to best. They are presented in different formats - one is in an ebook type format, the other is a series of videos. Most people will find as they go through the information on the sites, that one seems to be a better fit for them than the other.
Joe Barry's Panic Away course has been very popular for quite some time now. Along with the course which comes in eBook format, Panic Away also includes one-to-one coaching to help you over the rough spots.
The other program is Jon Mercer's EasyCalm which is presented as a series of videos rather than as an eBook. You can even view the full first video free to get a sense of Jon's style and your response to him. This program also includes several interesting and useful bonuses.
Will they work for you? It's hard to say since so much depends on how you approach and use them, how consistently you can apply the methods and how determined you are. What can be said is that they have worked for many people who have made the effort and stuck with it. And, if you really give one or the other a try but don't feel you are getting anywhere, they do have a money back guarantee so you aren't throwing money away.
I also want to make it really clear that these are by no measure the only way to go. One of the primary methods I use to deal with my own hangups is meditation and a form of self-reflection or self-analysis. These happen to suit the way my head seems to work but I stumbled around a lot before I found the forms that work for me. There are so many kinds and types of meditation and "self-analysis" that it is a very individual search with a lot of trial and error and no particular reason to think that what works for me would be the right thing for you.
You may see a lot of people pushing one or another kind of meditative activity because it helped them. And yes, it may work for you. But it may also close you off from other alternatives, especially if it has any 'cult-like' overtones. Never forget the right answers for dealing with life stresses are the ones that work for you and leave you a better functioning, happier person. And they may take some serious effort to find.

Natural remedies for anxiety and other health problems
Everyone needs to understand that some natural remedies for anxiety may not work for them while others might. Or perhaps, you are one of those who absolutely requires industrial synthetics. The same is true of many herbal remedies for a variety of health and lifestyle issues. And I certainly feel everyone should learn non-medicinal coping techniques for coping with life even before trying any herbal natural remedies for anxiety.
OK - BUT - there are conditions and circumstances where you would be foolish not to see a doctor (or maybe two, sometimes a second or third opinion is important). You may really need a heavy duty chemical medication - or you may need surgery. Alternative treatments can certainly help, but sometimes standard western orthodox medicine is going to be your best option.
I've seen people ask about herbal remedies for a cavity. Certainly there are substances that can reduce the pain, but cure a cavity? No, you need a dentist or you risk far more serious complications down the road
Being reasonable about and careful of your health means assessing your condition as thoroughly and objectively as you can and seeking the best advice you can find - and that includes traditional as well as alternative medicine.
