Panic attack and panic disorder are both a form of anxiety disorder and any remedies that help reduce your anxiety will in fact help reduce your panic attacks.
Healthy eating is essential in your road to recovery. That is why it is recommended that you stop eating any unhealthy food and start eating healthy. Vitamins and Minerals are vital for the proper functioning of the body and are the best remedy for panic attacks. There are abundant vitamins and minerals in fruits and green vegetables so make sure you are eating enough fruits and green vegetables.
If you feel that you are not getting enough vitamins and minerals, then you can take supplements. There are many such supplements available in the market.
Omega-3 which is a fatty acid can help greatly in reducing your anxiety and in turn reduce your panic attacks. But generally our diet doesn’t contain much Omega-3. Fishes and sea foods are rich in Omega-3, so if you like sea food you should definitely start including more of that in your diet. If you don’t have easy access to sea food, then you can find Omega-3 supplements at your local pharmacy. Omega-3 not only helps reduce anxiety but also helps in your overall health. It also reduces the chances of coronary heart decease.
There are two herbal supplements that have shown some relief in some anxiety sufferers. But before taking any herbal supplements, you should definitely consult your doctor because they might have a side effect on you.
These two herbal supplements are Passiflora and Valerian.
Passiflora contains ethymaltol and maltol which helps reduce muscle tension. It can help people who have tensed muscles all the time. It has been used as a folk remedy for insomnia so those who have trouble sleeping can find it useful as well.
Valerian contains active constituents named valerenal and valerenic acid. It has been used for treating insomnia, headaches and nervousness. Valerian is used today mainly for treating insomnia, but many anxiety sufferers have seen its benefit in reducing their anxiety as well. But it may cause drowsiness during daytime if used for treating insomnia.
Remember, that these herbal supplements can only show you some mild benefits. Sometimes, they don’t have any effect at all. So don’t expect much of them. And as mentioned before, make sure you consult a doctor before using any of these herbal supplements.
