Suggest Treatment For Anxiety

** Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern and following is/are recommended guidelines: 1. Since nervousness, depression,agitation and emotional disturbances gets aggravated/increased in anxiety [present in history] thus if thinking of stopping the drug avoid abrupt withdrawal i.e. gradual tapering of dose is to be done. 2. As Primary management in Ayurveda of any disease is treatment of cause the best option which can be incorporated in your daily life: i. Because panic attacks are repeatable [anxiety] which means you feel endangered and unable to escape which means there is ‘fear of fear’ i.e. vicious anxiety- panic attack- anxiety cycle, thus before taking panic attacks to be due to anxiety or depression make sure you have ruled out medical conditions like overactive thyroid, low blood glucose, use of excess caffeine, cocaine, amphetamines or heart problem. PS. practice relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation and also Pranayam which will strengthen the relaxation response of body as opposite to stress response during panic attacks, don’t try to flee away from the situation which will reinforce the perception that your panic attacks are unbearable [remember they are uncomfortable but not life threatening], allow the symptoms to pass and you will gain ability to cope with them ii. Stretching Yoga poses [Dhanurasana, Matsyasana, Janu Shirsasana, Paschimottanasana, Hastapadasana], hot shower and massage are simple techniques to overcome muscle tension from anxiety] same goes with muscles of the face [facial tension] during Anxiety iii. Since the said problems can be grouped under major generalized disorder, Dietary Regime and Lifestyle management along with Medicine will be according to “manovaha srotas vyadhi” iv. Avoid: alcohol, pepper, spices, mustard oil, pickles, rye, spicy food, anger, grief, fear, late night waking, garlic, ginger, onion Take: mint, coriander, tomato, and cumin, plenty of water, vitamins and mineral supplements, apple, banana, grapes, dates v. Lemon juice mixed with sugar in a glass of water helps release stress removing hormones from the body and bring mind at peace/rest. And eat 2 spoons coriander seeds with 2 spoons of sugar candy. vi. Apple, almond, banana, broccoli, cantaloupe, melon, carrot, cashew nut, corn, cauliflower, grapes, guava, lemon, mango, orange, pineapple, soybean, spinach have anti oxidant and detoxifying properties so take them in plenty. vii. Prescription drugs and procedures available for your problems are: sarpagandha, khus, jatamansi, bramhi, kevada, vacha, tagar, amla, smriti sagar ras, mahakalyanak ghrita, manasmitra vatkam, prabhav vati, mann medhya vati,Ashwagandharishta, sarasvatarishta, stresscom, nasya karma PS. Since drug therapy is generally only a palliative treatment, we have to look at cognitive and behavior strategies and especially nutritional strategies. I do recommend behavioral practice, whether it’s yoga, or meditation
