What is a good alternative med for anxiety

Whenever I'm stressed or really emotional, my parents always tell me to take a vitamin B. I don't know what it does, but that's what I'm told to do! It helps.

I'd try chamomille (sp?) tea, any herbal tea really that is specifically for calm.

M Mommy,
I would recommend a liver cleanse. All stress is from the liver...and while you are doing that I recommend an herb combo from Natures Sunshine called Adrenal Support. It helps the stress in your body whether it's physical or mental....works like a charm...hope that helps!

Try listening to classical music while looking at pictures of smiling faces or babies. Sounds silly but it works. Mozart, Vivaldi, Bach, Pachabel and Hadyn are good choices. Any baroque piece really....

Good herbs for anxiety are Ginseng, Catnip, Ginger, Lemon balm and Chamomile. Also, Neurofeedback Training is also excellent for anxiety disorders.

So, get a cup of Chamomile tea, put on some Vivaldi, and google image search the words "Smiling faces". In about 20 minutes you will feel like a new person.

Also avoid the news and spend a few minutes every day counting your blessings and thinking of things to be grateful for. It's amazing how much better you can feel when you simply change your perceptions. Sometimes we get so caught up in the moment we forget all the good things in our lives. Taking the time to be grateful for your life will do much to calm fears.

Finally, if you pray, spend time each night before you fall asleep praying. Pour out your heart and you will find you actually sleep better. I know when I pray before I sleep I always wake up feeling more rested.
