There are many natural remedies to cure panic disorder. Many times anxiety can take over our lives and we feel like we have to take prescription medications in order to resolve our overwhelming anxious feelings. Many doctors will immediately recommend a prescription medication. If we aren’t aware of the natural remedies that can help anxiety and panic attacks, we feel like prescription medications are our only option. Some of the drugs the doctors prescribe might help with the symptoms of anxiety in the short term, but they do not fix the root of the problem. They only mask the anxious feelings. In addition, the medications are usually highly addictive and they are very difficult to stop using, once you’ve been on them for a long period of time.

In order to cure panic disorder, it is helpful to identify the reason for the panic attacks. Analyze all the things going on in your life. Are you working a lot of hours? Do you have some health issues that are affecting you? Are you eating unhealthy? Once you’ve identified some of the stressors in your life, you can start modifying or eliminating the things that are adding stress to your life.

Another major long term solution that will help reduce your stress is learning to breathe deeply. We habitually breathe very shallow when we are under stressful situations. This leads to feelings of major panic and anxiety. Using a breathing pattern with counting is very helpful in regulating your breathing. Inhale through your nose, counting to four, and feel your lungs filling with air. When you exhale, count to four and take notice of the air passing through your nose. When you start feeling stressed, use this breathing technique for 8 or 9 breaths. Using this breathing exercise will start to release some of the anxiety that you are feeling.

Another long term strategy that you can incorporate to reduce the stress in your life is to do meditation. Meditation helps you to refocus your mind and combat those racing thoughts that come with overwhelming anxious feelings. One effective way to do meditation is to find a physical object which you can place all your focus. Then find a word, like peace, that is calming to you. As you focus on the physical object, say the word peace and continue repeating it. If you find yourself distracted by other thoughts, just go back to your calming word and continue repeating it. You can also say the word with the rhythm of your breathing. So on each inhale, say your calming word. Just doing this for five minutes can really help you relax and focus.
