Aconite Nepallus 200 CH
★★★★★
I am homeopath and had panic attacks for years...I took Paxil for 9 years too. Then during my studying I found Aconite Nepallus 200 ch that worked wonders for me to wean off anti depressants and continue with this remedy. I would take 1 or 2 pallets when needed and soon I didn't need it at all. Great remedy!

When I was 24 years old I suffered from severe panic attacks. I am Hispanic and live in the U.S. Many American Hispanics from the U.S. love chili and I was raised with a big bowl of yellow chili in juice at the table morning, noon, and for supper. As a child I only had a little juice from the chili bowl on my food. Eventually I graduated to large serving with food until I was totally hooked on chili. My family was from New Mexico where some of the best chili in the world is from! Red or green is mostly used. And usually it is hot! We loved it! We ate enchiladas and tacos, burritos, beans with chili! Anyway I didn't know it but the chili was causing me a lot of acid and this worked hand in hand with my severe panic attacks! The acid from these foods and spicy dishes was causing me really severe panic attacks! Eventually I noticed that Rolaids or Tums and even baking soda in water would help control my panic attacks! I ended up cutting down on spicy foods and this in my case stopped the panic attacks. If I feel a panic attack coming on which today is rare, I head for the acid medication fast! This usually stops the panic attacks in my case. I now have very little chili in my diet.

Hydrogen Peroxide Inhalation
★★★★★
I used a sinus inhaler (the kind used for head colds). I rinsed it well and filled it with H2O2. I pumped it 2-4 times into the back of my mouth, sucked it in as hard as I could and held it for 5-10 seconds. Do that 3-4 times and do it 3-4 times a day. I noticed within 2-3 days that I no longer had panic attacks. I would do the inhaling whenever I went out to the store, or whatever, and within 2 weeks I found that I didn't need to do it anymore. I always thought that the panic attacks were tied to my ADHD but...I don't know how it worked, it just did.

I just read this post and I wonder if it works for panic attack of any kind please? I had panic attacks frequently in 2006 when I had hyper thyroidism. I got better by seeing a naturopath and took nearly 25 supplements daily. So I didn't know which supplement was more important or it's a balance effect It was so expensive so when I have a few attacks in these couple of months, I searched on earthclinic looking for alternative method I did some research, apple pectin is proved to improve mood and lessen anxiety. I really appreciate EC and everyone that cares so much to share their knowledge and experience

Hello Candy from Fort Madison,
Perhaps the magnesium oil works to counteract your panic attacks because magnesium competes for the same receptor sites in the brain and central nervous system as the monosodium glutamate which all our processed foods are loaded with, along with aspartame. Both of these excitotoxins are being connected to many problems involving our brains and CNS.
You might get rid of the problem completely by trying to eliminate these two toxins from your foods, but you won't find it easy to avoid them, and you'll need to learn all the names they hide them under.

While there are a number of pharmaceutical drugs used to control anxiety disorders, not all are successful and many produce unwanted side effects, including neurological damage, impotence, and profound weakness.
There are things you can do to reduce anxiety in a much safer manner. For those not adequately controlled by these methods, it would allow you to use lower doses of your medications, which would reduce side effects.
Here are eight tips to help control anxiety and panic attacks:
1. Most important is to avoid excitotoxins in your food. These include MSG, aspartame, hydrolyzed proteins, vegetable protein, isolated protein, soy products (including soy protein isolates, soy protein and soy milk), natural flavoring, sodium or calcium caseinate, and others. All of these food additives worsen brain excitation and have been shown to specifically target the amygdala nucleus - a set of neurons in the brain's temporal lobe. They are key to the processing of emotions.
2. Increase your vegetable intake to at least five servings a day. Many of the flavonoids in vegetables have been shown to reduce anxiety - especially hesperidin, quercetin, and curcumin. All three are available as supplements. The dose is 250 milligrams of each three times a day. Quercetin comes in a water-soluble form. Otherwise it must be dissolved in either fish oil or extra-virgin olive oil.
3. Reduce your intake of fats -- especially saturated fats and omega-6 fats (vegetable oils, such as corn, safflower, peanut, sunflower, soybean and canola oils). Studies have shown that animals on high-fat diets release more cortisol and take longer to recover from stress than those on low-fat diets.
4. Magnesium is the body's natural calmative agent. It reduces excitotoxicity and, when taken at bedtime, it aids sleep. It also reduces the immune over-reactivity seen with anxiety disorders. In addition, it reduces your risk of heart disease, stroke and Type-2 diabetes (and metabolic syndrome).
5. White tea contains a flavonoid called epigallocatechin gallate. This flavonoid has recently been shown to calm the brain and reduce anxiety. It works by activating the organ's most protective system against anxiety -- the gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor. This aids sleep as well. White tea has a higher level of this flavonoid and much less fluoride than green tea.
6. For those who do not want to take a pharmaceutical drug, the herb valerian has been shown to activate the same calming brain GABA receptor. It has been used to induce sleep but also calms anxiety during the day. It should not be mixed with medications that act as sedatives or tranquilizers.
7. Another useful product is called Relora. It is a blend of two extracts -- phellodendron amurense and magnolia officinalis. In a number of tests, Relora has been shown to reduce excess cortisol levels associated with stress while improving mood and reducing stress. It acts via the brain's GABA and serotonin systems, which are both important in controlling anxiety.
8. Avoid caffeine. People with anxiety disorders hyper react to stimulants, such as caffeine. They can also worsen insomnia.

Have you been to a endocrinologist? It sounds like your adrenal glands are fatigued. I have addison's disease and I was experiencing what you are before I was put on Cortef. When you feel faint take your blood pressure if its low then its more then likely your adrenal glands acting up. If your more anxious then usual and have more agitation then usual then it sounds like Addison's. These were some of the symptoms I had before I was diagnosed. I had lost weight without trying. If you gain weight with these symptoms it can be Cushings syndrome(adrenal glands). Also electrolyte imbalance will cause you to feel faint. Check your sodium intake, and potassium intake and all the others that are very impt. Any of these lacking can cause faintness. I wish you luck and hope you get better. One way to check for Addison's is to check blood pressure laying down and stand up and take it again right after and if your blood pressure drops 10 points or more then that is a sign of Addison's. God Bless!

P.S. I forgot to add that ACV will lower your blood pressure and will lower your potassium levels so that is probably why you fainted. If by chance your already having problems with adrenal glands ACV just aggravated your problem that much more. ACV is great however it is a natural diuretic and will make you urinate alot & it will deplete you of sodium very quickly. Make sure you do not have a adrenal gland problem and your electrolytes are balanced. Water alone will not balance them out. Drinking too much water will also lower your sodium. With adrenal gland issues its hard to keep sodium & potassium in your body leveled out. I have fainted while taking ACV before I found out that it was causing my blood pressure to drop fast & depleting all my sodium. Because ACV caused me to urinate alot. Also check your blood sugar, ACV will also lower blood sugar. Its alot to take in I know..

HI, I have suffered from anxiety and panic attacks and my heart goes out to you. I recently went into a panic during cupping in my acupunctrue treatment. He worked on my kidneys and I was face down over the little head rest with a hole to breathe. I got really hot and was scared very bad. He came right in.
They gave me a homeopathic called field of flowers, and very important, critical in fact is that they energetically infused the tincture with something to heal panic, and I calmed down. They can infuse it with healing for what ever emotional problem you have. The infusion on their machine is critical, as in the past I just took the tincture, and did not notice results.
I would try mindfulness meditation, and if you can't sit down try walking meditation. when the panic comes let it wash over you, and tho its hard, don't fight it. I know it sounds kind of crazy, but I I found in the past, if I let the panic wash over me it went away relatively quickly.. say 20 minutes to half hour. I would just lay on my bed and let it wash over me. or if the weather is nice lay under a tree til it passes.
Breathing deeply and slowly, not fast, helps. Grounding also helps. Feel your feet on the ground, your butt on the chair, 3 things you can literally feel, 3 things you see, 3 you hear and 3 you can smell. that helps to bring you into the present and calms you.
Be careful of the drugs, as they can be addictive and have lots of side effects. I have not found that they help. If you come off of them be sure to do it slowly, carefully and with lots of support. This may sound odd, but helping others with panic/fear etc will also help your panic fear, as it gets me out of myself.
There is a 12 step group called oca, for folks with ocd and anxiety and you can google obsessivecompulsiveanonymous.org. they have face to face meetings and phone meetings as well. If you get irritable and angry I have had some success with nerve tonic, a safe homeopathic made by hylands.
Wishing you the best. serach

Look into blood course syndrome
Xue Dao Zheng
and other shen disorders (TCM). I recently found a wonderful TCM site that is so informative. I am attaching a link to a chapter 6
http://www.itmonline.org/shen/chap6.htm.
Also, jingherbs.com has free health analysis. They also provide free 15 min consultations with an experienced herbalist.
I really recommend to browse www.itmonline.org site for lots of information on TCM.
Hi Sue. I found MSM solves my panic attacks, and I haven't had one since. I take first thing in the morning and you can increase as you get used to them. Easy on your stomach, too. Don't take at night when beginning, as can cause nightmares. I found that out the hard way, but now I can take three a day without that, since my body is used to the MSM.
