Their explanation of\u00a0common anxiety signs and symptoms include both physical, mental and what could be called spiritual feelings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Feeling nervous<\/li>\n<li>Feeling powerless<\/li>\n<li>Having a sense of impending danger, panic or doom<\/li>\n<li>Having an increased heart rate<\/li>\n<li>Breathing rapidly (hyperventilation)<\/li>\n<li>Sweating<\/li>\n<li>Trembling<\/li>\n<li>Feeling weak or tired<\/li>\n<li>Trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the present worry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They also note that many different types of\u00a0anxiety disorders exist, including\u00a0social anxiety disorder (social phobia, avoidance of social\u00a0situations), panic disorder (repeated episodes of intense anxiety, agoraphobia\u00a0(anxiety about situations that might make you feel badly),\u00a0and generalized anxiety disorder (persistent and excessive anxiety and worry about activities or events \u2014 even ordinary, routine issues).<\/p>\n<p>The Mayo Clinic (and we) suggest seeing a doctor if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You feel like you\u2019re worrying too much and it\u2019s interfering with your work, relationships or other parts of your life<\/li>\n<li>Your fear, worry or anxiety is upsetting to you<\/li>\n<li>You feel depressed, have trouble with alcohol or drug use, or have other mental health concerns along with anxiety<\/li>\n<li>You think your anxiety could be linked to a physical health problem<\/li>\n<li>You have suicidal thoughts or behaviors \u2014 seek emergency treatment immediately<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But if you experience anxiety sometimes, or have a high level of stress in your life, we have some natural remedies for anxiety that can help you get through the tough days (or weeks). Mayo also notes that women are more likely to experience anxiety than men, as are certain personality types. And stressful life situations\u2013 changes at home or work, a death or birth in the family, among many others\u2013 can exacerbate symptoms. They recommend psychotherapy (talk therapy) to help find root causes of the anxiety and learn techniques to work through them. On some occasions, pharmaceuticals might be recommended, but there are also lots of natural ways to relieve anxiety that everyone can benefit from!<\/p>\n<h3>The Gut-Brain Connection<\/h3>\n<p>A fascinating new focus in research is how our digestive health is directly related to our mental health. If you suffer from celiac, food allergies, irritable bowel syndrome or other gastric distress, you might also suffer mental consequences too. <em>Scientific American<\/em> shares that ongoing research makes it clear that our gut\u2013 our second brain\u2013 has a huge impact on our real brain. \u201cThe brain acts on gastrointestinal and immune functions that help to shape the gut\u2019s microbial makeup, and gut microbes make neuroactive compounds, including neurotransmitters and metabolites that also act on the brain.\u201d There is also a lot of work being done about the connection between gut health and autism. <em>SA<\/em> says that initial research in rodent studies show that autistic behavior might be rooted in the gut, rather than in the brain.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the <em>New York Times<\/em> writes, \u201cOur supply of neurochemicals \u2014 an estimated 50 percent of the dopamine, for example, and a vast majority of the serotonin \u2014 originate in the intestine, where these chemical signals regulate appetite, feelings of fullness and digestion. But only in recent years has mainstream psychiatric research given serious consideration to the role microbes might play in creating those chemicals.\u201d Bacteria in our gut actually create these brain chemicals, proving they have a role in intestinal disorders and are correlated with depression and anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the<em> Huffington Post<\/em> reports that when patients were given doses of prebiotics (food for the <a href=\"http:\/\/greenlivingideas.com\/2015\/07\/06\/5-ways-to-eat-your-probiotics-to-boost-your-digestive-health-and-immunity\/\" target=\"_blank\">probiotics<\/a>), they showed less negativity, less anxiety and paid more attention to positive information than a placebo group, and that those taking the prebiotics had lower levels of cortisol, the hormone linked with stress, anxiety, and depression.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/eatdrinkbetter.com\/2015\/08\/12\/a-beginners-probiotics-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\">Getting \u00a0your digestive system on track<\/a> is key to a healthier brain and body.<\/p>\n<h2>12 Ways to Ease Anxiety Naturally<\/h2>\n<p><em>We\u2019re breaking out our natural remedies for anxiety into two categories: healthy habits and food and drinks.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>6 Good Habits to Reduce Anxiety<\/h3>\n<p><strong>1. Take time to relax and meditate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/blog\/the-couch\/201307\/can-t-relax-science-explains-and-helps-solve-the-problem\" target=\"_blank\">Studies show<\/a> that it\u2019s imperative that we make time to relax. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/02\/10\/opinion\/sunday\/relax-youll-be-more-productive.html\" target=\"_blank\"><em>New York Times<\/em><\/a> reports, \u201cstrategic renewal \u2014 including daytime workouts, short afternoon naps, longer sleep hours, more time away from the office and longer, more frequent vacations \u2014 boosts productivity, job performance and, of course, health.\u201d Meditation is also famous for helping our brain and body truly relax.

Prioritize Exercise<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Get your blood pumping and your body will take care of you by releasing some feel-good hormones. \u00a0Work out any way you like. \u00a0Go for a run if it suits you, or discover the natural stress-busting benefits of <a href=\"http:\/\/greenlivingideas.com\/2010\/01\/14\/yoga-medically-proven-reduce-inflammation-due-aging-stress\/\" target=\"_blank\">yoga<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I find that if I start my day with a workout, I\u2019m more tolerant and calm, not to mention focused, during my early-morning meetings. \u00a0If I end it with a workout, I\u2019m less consumed by the stress of getting <a href=\"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/2014\/09\/19\/bowls-healthy-recipes-comfort-foods\/\">a healthy dinner<\/a> on the table in a timely fashion. \u00a0Either way, it\u2019s a win, so throw your tennis shoes on and take care of it.\u00a0You probably know by now that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.care2.com\/greenliving\/7-instant-benefits-of-exercise.html\" target=\"_blank\">exercise helps you relieve stress <\/a>and tension by getting all the good hormones flowing. But did you know that exercising can also make you feel better about yourself? Self love is important for us all!<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Massage Away your Worries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Include\u00a0some aromatherapy for a double-dose of natural stress-busting\u00a0(vanilla, lavender, and sandalwood are great choices). \u00a0For me, massage doubles as rest- and meditation-time. \u00a0It\u2019s all about me, and concentrating on\u00a0ourselves\u00a0is one of the greatest natural stress-busters.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-9594 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/vibrantwellnessjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_200124674-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"get more sleep for stress relief\" width=\"300\" \/>4. Sleep<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Getting enough sleep helps our bodies in lots of ways, and stress is a bit one. <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.nami.org\/Template.cfm?Section=Top_Story&amp;template=\/contentmanagement\/contentdisplay.cfm&amp;ContentID=159232\" target=\"_blank\">Studies<\/a> show that decrease in sleep can increase anxiety symptoms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. <\/strong><strong>Have gratitude<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Creating a practice of gratitude is a great happiness booster and stress-reliever. It\u2019s hard to be stressed about the small annoyances in life (laundry that needs to be folded, a closet that needs to be organized), when you are able to live within a state of grace and gratitude.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Get Outside<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nothing is more immediately relaxing than nature time.

Get your Vitamins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Folic acid supports serotonin production and complex carbs\u00a0produce serotonin. \u00a0Serotonin is a\u00a0chemical created by our bodies which acts as a mood-balancing neurotransmitter. Magnesium deficiency is often linked to anxiety too, so be sure to add some <a href=\"http:\/\/eatdrinkbetter.com\/2014\/01\/28\/magnesium-deficiency-common-think\/\" target=\"_blank\">magnesium-rich foods<\/a> to your diet.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-9590 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/vibrantwellnessjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_210575860-300x450.jpg\" alt=\"leafy greens for stress relief\" width=\"300\" \/>2. Eat your\u00a0Veggies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eat lots of asparagus, citrus, avocados, and lentils for your folic acid and plenty of whole grains and starchy vegetables like winter squash and sweet potatoes for your complex carbs. \u00a0It also helps to get plenty of vitamin C (eat those berries!) and zinc (cashews, my friend).\u00a0Learn how eating a rainbow of <a href=\"http:\/\/vibrantwellnessjournal.com\/2013\/04\/22\/how-to-be-happier-eat-the-rainbow\/\" target=\"_blank\">veggies can boost your mood<\/a>.\u00a0Find other <a href=\"http:\/\/eatdrinkbetter.com\/2009\/01\/28\/8-easy-nutrition-tips-to-combat-stress\/\" target=\"_blank\">foods to reduce anxiety<\/a>\u00a0recommended by nutrition educator Amy Bell, like avocado, nuts, citrus, complex carbs and healthy proteins.

Reduce Caffeine Intake<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is recommended by Mayo, but also made a huge difference in my own life. When anxiety got a grip on me for no real reason, I struggled with daily work and life. Quitting caffeine had an immediate and drastic affect on my mood and my anxiety levels. I\u2019ve since added some caffeine back into my life, and can often see the old stressed feelings\u00a0arise when I\u2019ve had too much in one day. <a href=\"http:\/\/vibrantwellnessjournal.com\/2014\/03\/20\/quit-caffeine-coffee-alternatives\/\" target=\"_blank\">Learn how to quit coffee with coffee alternatives<\/a> or moderate your caffeine consumption to see if it can reduce your anxiety symptoms.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-9589 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/vibrantwellnessjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_141133423-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"herbal tea for stress relief\" width=\"300\" \/>4. Drink herbal teas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>MBG says that both chamomile and <a href=\"http:\/\/vibrantwellnessjournal.com\/2012\/12\/18\/homemade-red-chai-tea\/\" target=\"_blank\">rooibos tea <\/a>can have a calming affect on our body.\u00a0Soothing chamomile tea <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/22894890\" target=\"_blank\">was shown<\/a> to significantly decrease anxiety symptoms in just a few weeks, and rooibos\u00a0seems to work by <a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/mnfr.201300463\/abstract;jsessionid=296FA942A4D56D96B3455A72C5E1A549.f03t04?deniedAccessCustomisedMessage=&amp;userIsAuthenticated=false\" target=\"_blank\">having a balancing effect<\/a> on the body\u2019s main stress hormone, cortisol.<\/p>\n<p>Kava, a traditional Polynesian root that\u2019s brewed into a tea, can also help with short-term relief of stress.

Reduce alcohol consumption<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Alcohol and other downers can affect your anxiety level in various ways. According to my therapist, a little booze now and then might reduce anxiety in some, but it can increase anxiety for others, depending on their neurochemical makeup. If you usually drink, try cutting it out for awhile and see how you feel. Read why <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2013\/09\/24\/health\/drinking-reduces-stress-upwave\/\" target=\"_blank\">alcohol can reduce stress<\/a> in some but not others.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-9593 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/vibrantwellnessjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_298412258-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"maca root for stress relief\" width=\"300\" \/>6. Supplements<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are many supplements on the market that can potentially help reduce anxiety. I love using maca, a delicious root that tastes like caramel. It can be used in <a href=\"http:\/\/vibrantwellnessjournal.com\/2014\/07\/05\/maca-mocha-smoothie\/\" target=\"_blank\">smoothies<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/vibrantwellnessjournal.com\/2013\/08\/16\/maca-energy-bites\/\" target=\"_blank\">snack bars<\/a>, or blended into <a href=\"http:\/\/vibrantwellnessjournal.com\/2014\/03\/20\/quit-caffeine-coffee-alternatives\/\" target=\"_blank\">healthy hot chocolates<\/a>, and it\u2019s famous for its adaptogenic properties. Adaptogenic herbs support\u00a0our adrenal glands (where all our stress hormones are produced. When we face chronic stress or anxiety, the theory is that our adrenals get tapped out. Maca can help nourish the adrenals, and give you a natural boost of energy too. Other adaptogenic herbs include ashwagandha, rhodiola and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.care2.com\/greenliving\/3-reasons-to-try-holy-basil.html\" target=\"_blank\">holy basil<\/a> (tulsi).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bonus<\/strong>: Not really a food, but another edible solution. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bachflower.com\/rescue-remedy-information\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bach\u2019s Rescue Remedy<\/a> is an herbal supplement that I have found helps me sleep and calm the chattering mind. It comes in drops, lozenges and a spray to use however you need, as often\u00a0as you like. They even have a kids option and a supplement for your stressed pets.<\/p>\n<h3><em>What tips do you have for relieving anxiety, both temporary or long-term?
