Alternative Treatments
for Anxiety Disorders
Reiki Healing:
Reiki (pronounced "Ray-kee") is Japanese for
"universal life-force energy". Reiki is a method of
natural healing using the universal life force energy to promote
healing.
When the energy in our body becomes imbalanced or depleted, due
to stress or illness, our body can no longer heal itself. It needs
help.
Reiki is a powerful hands-on healing technique in which this
energy is drawn through the practitioner's body and then transferred
to the client. Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual blocks are
released during a healing to bring clients greater health,
well-being and harmony.
Reiki supports the body's natural ability to heal itself. It
vitalizes body, soul and mind.
Benefits of Reiki:
Reiki functions on all levels. Mental, spiritual, physically and
emotionally. It balances the body's energies. It loosens up blocked
energy and promotes a state of relaxation. It cleans the body of
poisons and enhances deeper detoxification.
Herbalism:
Herbs are used to relieve stress and tension. Herb relaxants
include :
- Black Cohosh,
- Black Haw
- California Poppy
- Chamomile
- Cramp Bark
- Hops
- Hyssop
- Jamaican Dogwood
- Lady's Slipper
- Lavender
- Lime Blossom
- Misletoe
- Motherwort
- Pasque Flower
- Passion Flower
- Rosemary

In addition to the herbs that work directly on the nervous
system, the anti-spasmodic herbs - which affect the peripheral
nerves and the muscle tissue - can have an indirect relaxing effect
on the whole system. Remember the connection - if you can calm the
nervous system, you'll calm the physical system.
Homeopathy:
Homeopathy treats the patient as one integral
unit of mind and body.
Homeopathic medicines for anxiety are selected on the basis of
presenting symptoms, the site of manifestation and the personality
of the patient. After taking homeopathic medicines, the patient can
himself judge the response. He develops a general feeling of
well-being and looks at life with a positive attitude. The
associated symptoms like loss of appetite, insomnia, headaches also
are greatly relieved.
