Natural Remedies for Anxiety

Who among us has not experienced a little anxiety or even a lot? It's not unusual to feel anxious, nervous or worried when faced with a problem; considering an important decision; or dealing with any number of stressors like a toxic work or home environment or difficult relationships.

Except in the case of chronic or severe anxiety disorders, there are a number of natural ways to deal with generalized anxiety that don't require anti-anxiety medication or even substances that need to be ingested!

Aromatherapy (the use of essential oils --the highest and most concentrated forms of plant extract-- for health and wellness) is one of the safest, most effective, and often overlooked natural remedies for anxiety. There are a number of essential oils that can be used to quickly slow your heart rate, lower your blood pressure, and induce an alpha brainwave state similar to that of meditating!

The Benefits of Natural Remedies

The benefits of using essential oils as natural remedies for anxiety and stress relief is that when used in moderation they are:
