Anxiety disorder is a mental health condition characterized by excessive fear, worry, and anxiety that interfere with daily life. People with anxiety disorders may also experience panic attacks, insomnia, difficulty breathing, and restlessness. Anxiety can sometimes be disproportionate to stressful situations, such as exams, work deadlines, or social events, significantly impacting daily activities, work, school, and relationships.
Treatments include counselling or medication like anti-anxiety or antidepressants. Many patients require combination of both.
Alternative and complementary medicine plays a significant role in managing anxiety. In many cases, these therapies are used alongside modern medicine to support the treatment of anxiety disorders. Common alternative treatments include:
Vitamins and Supplements, Yoga and Meditation, Music Therapy, Biofeedback, Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Homeopathy
Homeopathy has shown promising results in treating anxiety. As a complementary medicine system developed in the 18th century, homeopathy involves using highly diluted natural substances derived from plants, minerals, and animals.
A homeopathic practitioner takes a detailed case history to prescribe an individualized remedy that matches the patient's symptoms. These medicines are safe for both children and adults and can be used alongside conventional treatments without the risk of side effects.
Additionally, Bach Flower Remedies such as Rescue Remedy, Larch, and Sweet Chestnut are often used in combination with homeopathic medicines to help manage anxiety.
