Alternatives for Anxiety? - Alternative Medicine Message Board

Hey all --

I have a bad case of overecstatic nerves...
It seems that no matter if INSIDE im calm and collective, my body just gets all up on the edge for no reason and i get panic attacks all over the place...

My doctor tried conventional medicine but felt it wasnt helping at all..
So he said maybe i should try an herbal remedy if i wanted to?
But he wasnt sure what.. he said to get some advice from people who know what REALLY works..

So my question is ... what works?

For the specific condition you mention, I would say Valerian would be good. My anxiety has more to do with worry and mind chatter, so I use Scullcap.

I am interested to know more about this. How did you decide to try this? I have been to a chiropractor for years. I am also one with anxiety, but never really understood what Craniosacral therapy is. Could you describe it alittle, what kind of manipulations are done...similar to chiropractic???

dagmar - what is the benefit of a chiropractor? I've heard a few people talk about going to them.

Drew, have you ever heard of dysautonomia? Do a quick search and see if this sound familiar. M
