The cause of anxiety is well established. When enough stress is presented to the physical-mental-emotional body, nervous behaviors are likely to surface. Worry and excessive thought can interfere with preparation of rest and sleep. When the internal organs do not have enough energy then they will create disturbing sensations such as palpitations, spasms, high blood pressure, restless leg, etc. because of reduced energy.Regard yourself, eliminate waking activities during rest time, add exercise, allow only sensitive people in your personal space until you are sustain the challenges. Eat nutritious food and take natural herbs that don’t add to the imbalance but rather help in re-establishing your center. Consider working with a counselor/pychotherapist to find alternatives to your current anxiety management strategies.

Here is a key element. Beneficial foods which diminishes characteristics of anxiety.

When I had an anxiety attack, I didn’t know about nutrition and herbology and at that time, I could not imagine that traditional Chinese herbs would have been effective with other modalities of treatment. In a stressed-out condition, there is a need for quick and strong relief. But in the long run, healthy foods and natural approaches to health are very useful in reaching balance.

Individual Constitution will affect outcomes from all foods. Accordingly, a cold body type person needs to avoid cold foods that makes you cold. Continued ingestion of cold food will make it hard to ignore the painful cold spots. Body functions will slow in pace. But in general the above selection benefits most people. To become healthy, it is highly recommended to meet with an Asian medicine-Master Herbalist who will provide a customized assessment. Notice I didn’t say accupuncturist. It is very important to find someone who specializes in Chinese herbs or herbology and food therapy regarding customized food and herb strategies.

Anxiety relief can be found naturally with food therapy & traditional Chinese herbs.
