Anxiety Stress! Time To Get Serious – Here’s How!

After practicing as a psychotherapist for 20 years, I thought I had experienced almost everything. I have seen this in my own clients nevertheless until it occurred with me, you wouldn’t know! I felt that I was going to have a heart attack. On the outside, I tried to be cool but inside, I was freaked out! I didn’t know if I was going to make it through the night. I went to the Emergency Room. After waiting to get in, the nurse and doctor’s diagnosis came in, “anxiety attack”. I responded, “Really! I feel like like my heart is pounding out of chest and my head is going to pop!” They explained to me this was typical even though my blood pressure was slightly elevated. Though I was relieved, I wanted it to stop, now!

While you are in this condition, a chemical medicine will be adequate although it might not be the preferred option. I ingested it to interrupt the pattern. I didn’t know about herbology and at that time, I could not imagine that a traditional Chinese herbs for anxiety would have been just as effective. In this stressed out state, you want fast, potent relief.

All these symptoms, people have found relief, naturally with traditional Chinese herbs for anxiety:

This is a short list! You could probably list a 100 more. For the last 17 years, I have been dedicated to finding alternative medicine explanations and Chinese herbs for anxiety for the last 17 years that assist people through this transition.

Causation is well established. Once a sufficient amount of stress is presented to the physical-mental-emotional body, the prior mentioned conditions are probably going to surface. We all would do well to notice and take action. It is not enough to alleviate the symptoms but taking a break while we search for answers is an advisable strategy. Look after yourself, sleep (7-8 hours), exercise (4 times a wk.), be with nurturing people until you can equal the challenge you are dealing with. Eat food and take natural herbs that don’t add to the imbalance but rather help in re-establishing your center.

UNDERLYING PHYSICAL CONTRIBUTION TO ANXIETY DISTRESS

There are numerous reasons and its not always psychological. In truth, the majority of psychotherapists help their patients by appreciating the physical causation. Besides life stresses, physical depletion will release sensations that cause a person to experience helplessness. In Chinese medicine there are two areas of the body that are suspect for depletion:

Heart: the heart can become weakened, or energy deficient. This condition where the energy is not available to the heart and its lead-in vessels can streess the organ. If the heart does not essential energy then like a car, it stalls, speeds up, slows down, uncontrollably. In this case, rest and energy needs to be re-established in the channels to the heart. When that happens, the chest area relaxes and wellbeing is at hand.Furthermore, once the heart steadies then the brain trails.

Kidneys: the kidneys may develop deficiency with less energy provided from the kidneys to the heart. Due to stress, overwork and emotional challenges, the adrenals follow. The kidneys are considered the seat of vitality, essence and foundation for energy. When the essence is interrupted then organs throughout the body suffer and synergistically, the heart pumps less blood. To compensate, the heart can pump harder, grow larger or become erractic due to the stressed depleted state. As prior stated, deep REM sleep is crucial in order for the kidneys to reinstate and for the body to revive.
