I have a very mild anxiety condition that doesn’t cause me major problems. But it does make me uncomfortable at times, and I get tired of worrying about everything. I just can’t seem to stop. I started relaxation therapy and am working on my breathing techniques. The theory is I can use relaxation as a way to find some peace of mind. I’m also a firm believer in natural healing treatments, so I began taking St. John’s wort. This is a natural supplement that was used as far back as ancient Greece for several medicinal purposes.
St. John’s wort is sold in health food and grocery stores. Some research has shown it to be an effective antidepressant in cases like mine. It works like a prescription medication does – by increasing the brain chemicals that affect mood. I have found it to be very helpful. If you’re looking for a natural supplement you can try to relieve anxiety, I would suggest you begin with St. John’s wort.
