🌿 Natural Ways to Treat Anxiety & Panic Attacks

1. Deep Breathing Exercises

Try the 4–7–8 method: Inhale 4 sec, hold 7 sec, exhale 8 sec. Helps calm the nervous system.

2. Regular Physical Activity

30 minutes of walking, yoga, or cycling daily releases endorphins (natural mood enhancers).

3. Herbal Teas & Natural Remedies

Chamomile tea (calming effect)
Ashwagandha (adaptogenic herb)
Lavender oil for aromatherapy

4. Limit Caffeine and Sugar

Both spike cortisol (stress hormone), worsening anxiety. Choose herbal drinks instead.

5. Journaling Your Thoughts

Write 10 minutes daily to unload stress and gain clarity on hidden triggers.

6. Cold Showers

Yes, really! Sudden cold can reset your nervous system and calm panic symptoms.

7. Grounding Techniques

Use the 5-4-3-2-1 method: 5 things you see, 4 feel, 3 hear, 2 smell, 1 taste.
