Chamomile not only relieves anxiety, but also helps to settle the stomach. Catnip relieves tension headaches and encourages sleep. This list is far from inclusive of the many herbal treatments available for anxiety or tension. However, before beginning any type of herbal regimen, it is wise to consult with your physician regarding any other medical conditions you are being treated for and other medications you are taking. In addition, pregnant women should consult with their obstetrician before beginning any herbal treatments as well.
Many providers now specialize in naturopathic treatments.
In conclusion, one last thing to remember to relieve your anxiety or stress is to allow you to laugh. This increases the endorphin levels to your brain and decreases the amount of stress hormones circulating about. Learn from children. They simply enjoy the moment at hand and do not worry about what has happened in the past or what will take place in the future. Try following this example in your daily life, and feel the tension and anxiety lift.
