Natural Remedies for Anxiety

Just about everyone gets anxious at one time or another, but if that anxiety starts to affect your quality of life you need to address the problem. These are a few natural remedies for anxiety that can help calm you down without the need for powerful medications.

Home Remedies

There are several things that are more than likely in your kitchen right now that could help calm your nerves. Here are just a few natural remedies for anxiety that could bring you some relief.

Oil – If you have coconut, sunflower or sesame oil in your cupboard, you may be able to use it so soothe your anxiety. Warm up about six ounces of oil, making very careful to make sure it is just warm, not hot. Massage a little bit into your scalp and then gradually massage it into other parts of your body, including the soles of your feet.

Baking Soda – Mix together about a 1/3 cup of baking soda and 1/3 a cup of ginger and pour it into a warm bath. Soak for about 15 minutes and see if that helps melt away some anxiety.

Rosemary – Rosemary is one of the oldest natural remedies for anxiety, having been used for hundreds of years because of its calming effect. Make some rosemary tea by adding about one or two teaspoons of the dried herb into a cup of boiling water, or burn some rosemary incense.
