THIS IS HOW HEALED ME ANXIETY WITHOUT DRUGS! Anxiety was something I had struggled with for years, it was then followed by depression. It started with a few occasional panic attacks that left me feeling like I couldn’t breathe or move. Eventually, it became a constant feeling of restlessness and worry that made it difficult for me to focus on anyone or anything. It got so bad that I had to receive therapy. Which, I 100% recommend but the large amount of prescribed drugs was a concern. So I went on a mission for some natural alternatives. I did try the different medications at first, but they only helped me temporarily. No one wants to rely on medication forever.
That’s when I started exploring natural remedies, I was willing to try almost anything natural ( within reason) and this is how I discovered the power of essential oils and meditation. At first, I was skeptical. I mean, scents usually was a connection of hunger. I also didn’t know how something as simple as inhaling a scent or sitting still could actually help me feel better. But I was desperate for relief, so I decided to give it a try.
Miracle in a bottle
I started using Lavender essential oil, a great starter smell. I was amazed at how quickly Lavender made me feel more relaxed and centered. I would diffuse lavender oil at night before bed, and it would instantly calm me down and help me sleep better. I then went on a semi expensive journey of testing more oils, but well worth the expense. During the day, I would use a rollerball with a blend of chamomile. ylang-ylang and sweet almond oil on my wrists and temples. This blend helped me feel more grounded and less anxious.
Challenging but Necessary!
Meditation was a bit more challenging. Sitting still and focusing on my breath seemed impossible at first, but I was very persistent. I started with just a few minutes a day, and gradually worked my way up to 15-20 minutes. It took time, but eventually, I started to notice a real difference. I felt more aware and responded to my thoughts more positively. I was more centered and calm throughout the day, and I wasn’t as easily overwhelmed.
These natural remedies became an essential part of my daily routine, and I started to see a significant improvement in my anxiety levels. Of course, they weren’t a cure-all, and I still had bad days. But those days started to be less and far between. But, I felt more in control of my emotions and better equipped to handle whatever life threw my way. It was empowering to know that I had something that was easily available and helped me feel better without relying on medication.
I can’t recommend essential oils and meditation enough to anyone struggling with anxiety. They may seem too simple to make a significant difference, but they truly helped me heal my own anxiety without relying on drugs. It does take some time and patience, but the results are worth it. If you’re struggling with anxiety, I encourage you to give these natural remedies a try. You may be surprised at just how powerful they can be.
Remember, you are not alone, anxiety is a common condition that affects millions of people around the world. It can cause a range of symptoms, including nervousness, restlessness, and panic attacks, which can be debilitating and affect your quality of life. The good news is that there are natural ways to manage anxiety, without resorting to medication.
