A. Some people are strung this way, so rather than resist it, it is better to understand anxiety and live accordingly. Herbal medicine has many nervine tonics to support and tone the nervous system. See your registered medical herbalist (MNZAMH) sunch as Natural Ange Ltd for advice or try the Stress Less herbal formula available on my website.
A good B complex vitamin (30-50mg) is a good daily investment for your nervous system. It is a water-soluble vitamin that is easily excreted with diuretics such as tea, coffee and fizzy drinks.
Eat nuts, seeds and vegetables as they are rich in magnesium, potassium and calcium – all water-soluble minerals that are required to soothe nerves. Snacking on a trail mix during your busy schedule will also stabilise your blood sugar by providing a steady energy source.
Exercise is a great way to alleviate stress, and balance mind and body. Meditation and yoga are also great ways to manage anxiety. And laughter – it really is the best medicine!
A. You may wish to seek professional help from a psychologist if you are experiencing a difficult patch in your life, or if you have had this problem before. There are many potential causes of panic attacks.
Some practical measures I could suggest are to eat regular, savoury protein food to stabilise blood sugar levels; pack snacks to eat throughout the day – like tins of fish, boiled eggs, cheese and crackers. Avoid sweet food and coffee, and stimulating energy drinks – these raise your blood sugar rapidly, only to be followed by a rapid decline that can make you feel shaky and anxious.
B complex vitamins are good fuel for the nervous system; make sure your supplement is generally in the range of 50 to 100mg. Food sources of B complex vitamins include wholegrains, nuts/seeds and meat.
Magnesium is good for nervy restlessness – you can do a mineral appraisal on this website to assess your levels (under the about section).
We also have a herbal tonic called “Stress Less” . Or, you could also visit a registered medical herbalist (such as Natural Ange Ltd) for an individual stress-reducing formulation (visit www.nzamh.org.nz to find a practitioner).
Exercise is a great stress-buster; it reduces anxiety and lifts the mood. Invite a friend to go for long walks or runs with you.
