<BR><BR>Anxiety disorders are the most common of all mental health
disorders and affect the lives of millions of people every year,
including approximately 19 million in the U.S. alone. If you are
one of them, you may wonder if your symptoms are standard, and
if there are behavioral and medical treatments that might be
effective for you. While everyone experiences anxiety in some
form -- perhaps before giving a public presentation or in the
midst of major life changes -- those with anxiety disorders
experience it unusally often and irrationally.

<BR><BR>There are many different types of anxiety disorders, each of
which have unique features, but all of them share the symptoms
of dread and excessive fear. Five common types are panic
disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress
disorder, social anxiety disorder and generalized anxiety
disorder. As with most disorders, each individual will
experience symptoms slightly differently, and response to
treatment will vary as well. While there are prescription
medications for anxiety, for those who are wary of the side
effects there also exist natural treatments for anxiety which
contain herbal ingredients that can produce equally positive
effects.

<BR><BR>Passion flower (or Passiflora Incarnata) is a natural ingredient
that is often used for anxiety relief, as well as to treat
hyperactivity, insomnia, nervous tension and even Parkinson's
Disease. Passion flower helps to calm and soothe and is believed
to be able to reduce nervous tremors and lower high blood
pressure.

<BR><BR>Lavendar (or Lavandula Augustifolia) is one of the most popular
natural ingredients for treatment of a variety of conditions,
including anxiety disorder. Lavendar is a general tonic for the
nervous system and is well-known for it's calming properties,
making it among the most effective of natural panic attack
treatments. The active ingredients in lavendar are tannins,
flavinoids, coumarins, triterponoids and volatile oil.

<BR><BR>Lemon Balm (or Melissa Officinalis) is a natural ingredient that
is used as a resorative for the nervous system and also calms
the digestive system and reduces blood pressure. Lemon Balm has
also been used to treat Grave's disease (hyperthyroidism), and
to treat depression and insomnia.

<BR><BR>There are no quick fixes for anxiety disorder and anxiety
disorder treatments should usually focus heavily on behavioral
therapy. No matter how many times you might hear that you "worry
too much" or that you should relax, your symptoms are not
character flaws but indications of a serious disorder that is
not your fault. Anxiety disorder is caused by biological,
physiological and genetic factors, and may make your life seem
stressful and difficult. There are many others like you who have
found effective treatment through therapy, medication, herbal
remedies for anxiety or some combination of the aforementioned,
and you too have the ability to overcome your disorder to lead a
happier, healthier life.
