Everyone is nervous and anxious at certain points in life. These are called panic attacks or anxiety, something that can easily be remedied by allopathy and homeopathy. However, people prefer to go with homeopathy because it has no side effects, is gentle and the effects are long-lasting.

There are several proven natural treatments for anxiety with which you can get rid of this feeling and lead an anxiety-free life. Some of them are:

Aconite Napellus (Aconite): This is said to be the best ever homeopathic remedy for anxiety. You may have sudden bouts of anxiety due to shock or an accident and you may feel restless, scared, or agitated. You may think you're on the verge of death and have symptoms like a dry mouth, pounding heart or thirst.

Matricaria Recutita (Chamomile): If you get the jitters, calm down with a cup of chamomile tea. It has certain compounds like Apigenin, that contains anxiolytic properties. An anxious person is scared of what might happen to him and have hurried movements, crave for sweet food and a flurry of thoughts relating to imaginary "what if" situations.

Arsenicum Album (Ars.): Here, anxiety takes the form of fearing for one's safety, particularly during the night or when one is alone. They are mentally preoccupied with thoughts of their money, health, and things being robbed. One way of managing this form of anxiety is to take Arsenicum Album.

Melissa Officinalis (Lemon balm): Lemon balm has been used since the Middle Ages to alleviate problems of anxiety and stress and is also helps you sleep well. However, take it in moderation, as an overdose of it can only make you more anxious.

A word of caution: Do not take any of these homeopathic medicines without consulting your doctor.
