--------Feature Article-------- Anxiety Disorders These would include such problems as General Anxiety Disorder, Panic Attack, Phobias, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and others such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The symptoms we are all too familiar with: anxiety. Also likely to be included is insomnia, irritability, depression, anger, repetititve or irrational behaviors. Appraoches to treatment are as varied as the presentations. In the medical paradigm they are considered "emotional" hence are treated with psychiatric drugs by psychiatric doctors. Since we are talking about our physical body as well, there are still physical links to the emotional state (and perhaps more importantly vice-versa!) There is also, as in everything, an energetic link. ENERGETIC From the energetic side, the Emotional Freedom Technique and similar energy-affecting and energy-directed therapies are particularly effective. NUTRITIONAL From the nutritional side, there are several nutrients that have shown good effect. Not surprisingly, these are primarily in the B Complex family, since as I like to say, "B Complex is Nerve Food." These include:
HOMEOPATHIC The homeopathic approach looks at individuals one at a time to discover what is NOT general about them and uses that to discover the appropriate remedy. It has been found that anxieties related to space (heights, elevators, crowds, etc.) do well with Argentum nitricum, while those with global terrors (fear of being touched, of going outdoors, of circumstances in general) do well with Aconite. Even so, each perosn would get the individual remedy best suited for them. Besides bringing hope to persons with anxiety disorders, this approach often precludes the need for psychiatric medications. ORIENTAL This approach looks at the pulses and tongue for diagnosis. Based on the evaluation, an herbal formula is prescribed. Treatment could also include acupuncture to help energize meridians. In this approach, anxiety disorders are due to depressed liver, kidney or heart-spleen meridians. It all results in an undernourished heart spirit. The formulas prescribed are herbal remedies that will restore and nourish. (This is VERY simplified - find a good oriental practitioner to guide you through this.) NATUROPATHIC This approach includes diet, nutrients, and herbs in a wholistic view to effect change toward health. Looking at diet, several things are significant. Hypoglycemia affects the sugar level of neural tissue and hence can cause symptoms of anxiety. Alcohol, though having a depressant effect on GABA, can increase feelings of anxiety. Caffeine, a stimulant, will produce symptoms similar to anxiety. The message here is to be sure to eat high quality food, avoid large amounts of sugar that will result in hypoglycemia and avoid alcohol and caffeine. Looking at nutrients, B6 and Niacin are again noted to be calming. Magnesium is also added to the list of anxiety reducers. Looking at botanicals (herbs), lavender is mildly relaxant. It helps with with restlessness, insomnia, depression and nervousness. Lemon balm also has mild calming effects.
CONCLUSION While anxiety and related disorders are on the rise, there are many options and approaches for treatment without going directly to or which can be used in conjunction with psychiatric medications. Be sure to eat well and get the energy right!
IN THE HERB GARDEN I found an old herbal, The Herbalist , written by Joseph E. Meyers. Over the next several months we will pick out common plants and let you know how they can be used medicinally. May be interesting to some, epecially any medical historians among you. This month we will continue with Arnica Medicinal part - Flowers Description - a northern plant (Canada and the northern United States) with large, delicate, pure yellow, daisy-like flowers. 1 to 2 feet tall. Properties and Uses - To be used only externally. The tincture is very efficacious in promoting wound healing, for bruises, etc. Also is good for irritation of the nasal passage and for chapped lips there is nothing better. Use two heaping teaspoonsful fo flowers to a cup of boiling water; apply cold to sores or wounds. Equally good when used as a salve by heating one ounce of the flowers with one ounce of lard for a few hours. (Note - the herbal form is not to be confused with the homeopathic form. Use is the same but in the homeopathic there is no actual chemical in the remedy, hence can be and is used with excellent by mouth.)
BRIEF FACTS AND TIPS **** A recent study was done looking at cough in children. (Univ. of PA, Hershey) The authors explain "Cough is the reason for nearly 3 percent of all outpatient visits in the United States, more than any other symptom, and it most commonly occurs in conjunction with an upper respiratory tract infection." "Effect of Honey, Dextromethorphan, and No Treatment on Nocturnal Cough and Sleep Quality for Coughing Children and Their Parents" ---From http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/90536.php ****
