Are there any natural remedies for anxiety?
My hubby hasn’t been getting any sleep for about 2 wks now, he say’s he’s anxious and just can’t sleep. So he’s usually in and out of bed till around 3 or 4AM and then has to get up at 7:30 for work. =(
Last night he went to bed around 2AM, but at 3 he got up and vomited. Our family has been going through a little stress lately, so I’m thinking that’s the source. I’m leary of him going to his family’s dr b/c they always presrcibe antibiotics, even when unnecessary. And he just takes it, no questions asked. Drives me crazy. No fever last night, and he says he feels fine. He says he didn’t eat anything unusual yesterday and we had pizza last night. Are there any alternatives to the mainstream doctors/meds? Any natural remedies?

Tia, believe me we are going tru the same problems like yours.
Its been 3 years since we cannot sleep with out sleeping aids.
My husband, never had this problem before, I always envy him that he sleeps so good , but now he is the same like me.
We took Xanax, but it creates dependency and as a naturist I knew its not good. But we needed something to knock us out.
Lately I found this Knock out thing. Its helping us a lot, its natural, we weak up fine in the morning.Maybe you want to try it, its safe, I know the ingredients. You can buy it at any vitamin store.
Knock Out® is a combination of Melatonin, Valerian and Theanine.
Melatonin is a metabolic hormone made in the pineal gland, retina, and intestines. Melatonin is released into the blood stream by the pineal gland (which resides in the brain) to set your body’s biological clock and initiate sleep.** Darkness stimulates the pineal gland and causes it to produce more melatonin. Day light stops your body’s production of melatonin. Melatonin helps to promote healthy sleep patterns.** Melatonin also protects cells from free radical damage, and directs the release of growth and sex hormones.**
Theanine is believed to be the primary component of green tea that provides a relaxing effect.** Theanine is an amino acid derivative of glutamine. Oral doses of 50 and 200 mg of theanine given to healthy volunteers promoted alpha brain wave production.** Alpha waves are associated with a calm mental state. Theanine helps to induce a state of calm relaxation.**
Valerian is known for its calming effects, and also used as a sleep aid.** GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter (message sender) in the brain. GABA plays a role in regulating sleep-wake cycles, and is involved in initiation of sleep. Melatonin, theanine and Valerian extracts all interact with the GABA receptor.

I would be worried about going to a Dr. too they always are prescribing all kinds of stuff these days.
St. Johns Wart is supposed to help with anxiety. As well as deep breathing exercises (I use these all the time)

it sounds to me like stress induced nausea and vomiting. I suffer from the exact same thing, and barely sleep too. I think your doctor is right in prescribing prescription medications for him, They are the only medicine which seems to work for that. I am currently taking xanax(anxiety medication) , works to a certain extent but it all depends on how serious the anxiety is. I hope he gets well soon xxx

See anxiety, stress, and insomnia treatments, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris on pages 6, 42, and 3. People taking antibiotics when unnecessary breeds superbugs resistant to those very products, due to natural selection. Pizza contains too much salt, and fat, with almost no vitamins: 1 slice monthly; max!

Meditation! Your husband is letting his mind wander and obsess over things of which he has no control. He needs to focus on one line or sentence that is positive in nature. By finding that space in his mind and focusing on it his mind he won’t be as tempted to follow the negative thoughts. It sort of breaks the chain to the negative overwhelmed place his mind is living in. Good luck!

Been there, my doctor said meds were just putting a band-aid on the real problem, my pattern of thinking.

Helping other people usually makes you forget your own troubles. And doing things that you like doing takes your mind off things.
