Most people suffer from anxiety at some time during their lives. Indeed, a certain amount of worry is only natural, especially at critical times such as before an exam, a job interview, or a wedding! However, if the anxiety becomes constant, or is getting out of control, it needs treatment. In terms of diet: replace caffeine drinks (tea, coffee, chocolate, cocoa and cola) with herbal teas such as Chamomile that help relax the nervous system. Supplementary Vitamin B Complex is also advisable to support nervous system function. Nervous tummy often leads to indigestion and poor absorption of nutrients. Breathing and relaxation techniques can certainly help, as can Yoga, Tai Chi or indeed any form of exercise that you enjoy. Baths or massage with some relaxing, essential oils can also help enormously. During anxious periods it is especially important to sleep well and to aid this Lavender Essential Oil used in the bath. A lovely gift for an anxious, stressed-out person would be a Hop or Lavender-filled pillow – easy enough to make at home!
