Feel anxious again? Go excercising or relax to music...
Of course, no matter if you've ever experienced anxiety
disorder, you know about such treatments as herbal or homeopathy
management of it with the use of the essence of Bach flower,
berocca or ginger, gotu kola or lemongrass leaves, licorice,
magnesium, passion flower, St. John's wort or valerian.
Aromatherapy along with hydrotherapy do not work recent research
say. Vitamin C is not effective either, according to these
studies. No matter how much you laugh, pray, avoid caffeine in
your food and drink or keep to a carbohydrate-rich/protein-poor
diet, or how many hours a week you spend on yoga. This measures
are absolutely uneffective in anxiety disorder treatment.
But if you swap praying for meditation, and yoga classes for
dance/movement therapy together with music, you increase the
chance that your effort will be paid off. In the same category
you can find relaxation therapy, exercise, bibliotherapy,
autogenic therapy, massage (might be effective for kids only,
researchers say), inositol and acupuncture.
Some treatments, such as kava and 5-hydroxyl-L-tryptophan, are
effective but kava brings with it severe side effect, such as
liver toxity and 5-hydroxyl-L-tryptophan can cause
eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome.
The conclusion investigators came to is that the majority of
complementary and alternative medicines so popular nowadays
cannot be accepted as an adequate alternative for treating
anxiety disorders.
