Natural Cures for Common Illnesses

There are numerous forms of natural anxiety relief besides homeopathy and herbal supplementation. In aromatherapy, for instance, essential oils from plants are used to activate the body’s sense of smell triggering a part of the brain that allows you to feel calm and relaxed. The best way essential oils work is by directly applying them to the skin through the use of a massage or compress. They can also be added to a bath as well.

Hypnotherapy or hypnosis is another form that involves the practice of putting people in a trance-like state making them more susceptible to suggestion. This would be very useful to people who suffer with panic attacks because it would enable them to gain much better control over their own thoughts and feelings when they find themselves in anxious or nervous situations. If hypnosis is successful, the patient has an improved communication between the conscious and unconscious mind. Aided by a hypnotherapist, a patient may be able to reduce stress or anxiety levels and possibly even eliminate all future anxiety attacks.

The practice of mental visualization and/or meditation is a good way to acquire almost instant anxiety relief. If you have ever watched Tiger Woods play golf, you have seen him utilize mental visualization prior to every shot. In fact, mental visualization was one of the first principles his Dad ever taught him before he could barely swing a golf club. His Dad would tell him to “take a picture.” This of course referred to Tiger’s putts on the green. Before each shot, Tiger’s Dad wanted him to mentally “picture” the golf ball going along a certain path into the hole. Now, obviously, I do not think this hurt Tiger’s game one bit. So practice mental visualization no matter what the situation. Take a picture! See yourself achieving success. Allow mental visualization to condition your mind for a clearer vision of a desired outcome and better adapt your body to any physiological changes due to stress and/or anxiety.

Natural relief for anxiety does exist in many forms. Practice or utilize aromatherapy, hypnosis and mental visualization to help tame your anxiety and stress levels. These techniques and/or tips are a great way to release some pent up tension in your body. Finding more natural forms of anxiety relief will be good for your health and help you enjoy life so much better.
