There are as many different and diverse anxiety treatments as there are anxiety disorders. You can choose either traditional anxiety meds or you could go for an alternative route. No matter what type of alternative anxiety meds that you choose to try, talking with your doctor or a psychiatrist will let you know what's best for you.
Besides the known remedies of Aromatherapy, there are the healing properties of herbalism, where you use fresh and or dried herbs to achieve the results that you're looking for. Before you go out and buy different herbs though you should consult a trained and experienced herbalist. This way you'll not only know the different herbs that you can use, you'll be aware of their side effects, if they're good for you to use, and the best ways to take them and the dosage amount.
The age old method of Ayurveda can also be used to treat your anxiety as well. In this system of anxiety meds you use herbal oils, teas and poultices to restore the imbalances within your body. The way that you can correct such imbalances like anxiety is to bring the three portions of your body back into sync. The three portions are: Vata Dosha which promotes all of the biological functions and activities, the Pitta Dosha which is responsible for proper metabolism and individual traits within a person and finally there is the Kapha Dosha which balances fluids like water and manages fats. This Dosha also promotes the healthy growth of body tissues.
Acupuncture is another method of anxiety meds that you can use to relieve anxiety and stress. Acupuncture involves the delicate art of tapping sterilized acupuncture needles into certain specific pressure points in your body. Acupuncture works by bringing the opposing forces of Yin and Yang within us into balance. This is done by inserting small, thin needles into specific pressure points that can be located along 14 meridians throughout the body. The life force energy, or Chi (Qi), flows through these meridians. Thus when a person is sick or suffers from anxiety, a Chi blockage occurs and this block needs to be cleared away. This then is the purpose of tapping the needles into you.
To gain a full cure from the Acupuncture anxiety meds method you may need more than one session. Depending upon the severity of your Chi blockage these sessions can last from up to a few days or can extend to a few months after which your anxiety shouldn't be a problem.
Besides the above methods there are therapies like dance, yoga, and Tai Chi amongst others. While these alternative anxiety meds may not completely cure you they're another way to find some control and relief from your anxiety disorders and are worth a try if you feel yourself up to the challenge.
