Natural Treatments for Stress and Anxiety

Thursday June 17, 2004
Many of us lead fast-paced lives and live out-of-sync with our natural rhythms by going to sleep late, waking early, working long hours, not taking enough rest and leisure time, and eating when we’re not hungry. But for the over 14 million Americans who suffer from anxiety, there is a pervading sense of unease and even fear that diminishes their quality of life.

The combination of chronic stress, poor sleep, poor diet, use of coffee and other stimulants, and long work hours can deplete the body and even lead to condition holistic doctors call "adrenal fatigue". Learn more about how natural treatments and home remedies such as herbs, vitamins, nutritional supplements, aromatherapy, mind/body stress reduction, and other holistic therapies can be used to manage anxiety.
