The first law can be verified by observing the natural reaction of the body to the assault of the morbid force of measles. After a few days, the body, in its wisdom, throws the disease force onto the skin in the form of eruptions as the skin is the safest part, or else vital organs like lungs, heart or liver may be harmfully affected. We also know that the more abundant the eruptions, the safer it is for the patient as it saves him from the internal turmoil. Any attempt to reverse the natural direction of the disease proves to be detrimental to the patient and is not the right course of treatment. The reversal of the direction of the disease force is suppression. All physicians, at one time or another during their practice. have encountered the phenomenon of metastasis - change in the nature and seat of the original disease - like the involvement of the heart in the event of mismanagement of gout, flight of disease to meanings on the suppression of syphilitic ulcer, and chronic arthritis following the suppression of excessive menses in women.

We can, therefore, conclude from the foregoing discussion that the rational concept of cure is to treat in consonance with the natural laws, to use such remedial agents .as to exercise the subtle. natural force matching with the subtle disease force and to bring about cure in a simple, gentle and permanent manner.

Extending the above logic to the art of healing through magnets, it could be argued that the therapy satisfies all the scientific criteria of a rational cure. Firstly, the magnet works on the natural law of magnetism; it is a natural subtle force with healing properties. Secondly, the magnetic application cannot be considered as a local application like an ointment. as it affects the whole organism and not just the part on which it is laid. Once the magnetic equilibrium is re-established between various organs and functional processes, the cure effected is of a permanent nature and not short-lived unlike in most superficial remedial agents. However, in certain neglected and advanced incurable cases like those of ankylosing spondylitis, the magnet brings the desired succour by way of relief in pain, stiffness and swelling. It has been verified in clinical practice that the disease once cured through magnets does not return, though in some rare cases mild exacerbations may recur due to sudden emotional, climatic and dietetic irregularities. But these can be tackled with a few additional sittings with magnets. Thirdly, a magnet offers itself as one of the simplest medicinal tools hitherto discovered or invented by man. The method of application is easy - even a layman can use it in any disease - and the action of the magnet is so gentle that most persons do not perceive any sensation, while some sensitive patients only feel a tingling sensation. It is a boon in the treatment of children who are scared to death by bitter medicines and frightening injections. No harmful side. effects have been noticed or reported, though certain pleasant side-effects have been reported by a number of magnetotherapists from many countries. Finally, it could be emphatically asserted by any healer of this system that the application does not provoke any other diseases or complications. Hence it is safe in any disease.

Thus, we have a simple, safe, gentle and potent curative agent in a magnet which can provide a rational answer to the problems of diseases which have plagued mankind through the centuries.

As there are a large number of these anxiety medications available it’s always best to talk with your doctor or psychiatrist first so they can recommend the best course of treatment for you. This is prudent as some of these anxiety medications can interact with other substances and produce life threatening situations.

Anxiety medications like Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors or SSRIs work on raising the chemical serotonin in the brain. The dosage for SSRIs starts at a low amount and is then gradually increased until a therapeutic level is achieved. As this class of medication has only mild side effects like nausea and jitteriness it is very popular. You should inform your doctor if you experience side effects so that your dosage may be adjusted or you may be given another SSRI to take.

Tricyclics are also started at a low dose and then increased gradually to gain the maximum benefit. This class of anxiety medications has been the traditional medication for treating anxiety. The side effects of tricyclics are mild, and they range from dizziness and drowsiness to dry mouth and weight gain. Should these symptoms persist or become bothersome you should let your doctor know so that your medication may be changed.

Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors or MAOI’s are the oldest class of antidepressant drugs. You will need to be careful with this anxiety medication as there is a restrictive diet that must be followed. Certain foods and drinks that contain the chemical substance tyramine must be avoided. These include cheeses and red wines. Should there be an interaction a dangerous elevation in blood pressure or other life threatening situations may occur.

Benzodiazepines have the ability the relive the symptoms of anxiety quickly. There are a few side effects from this drug. Drowsiness and addictiveness may occur. As addiction may occur, tolerance for the drug means an increase in the dosage must be taken to gain the earlier benefits. Therefore other than panic disorder this drug is a short term anxiety medication.

Along with Beta Blockers and other such drugs that I haven’t mentioned, you have a multitude of anxiety medications that you can choose from to help you control your anxiety disorder, and you should discuss all your options with your doctor to find a suitable anxiety medication for you.

You’ll find that aromatherapy is fairly simple and the main ingredients you’ll need to use for this anxiety medicine are essential oils which contain healing properties to treat anxiety, a ‘carrier’ oil to mix and stabilize your oils, and your imagination.

There are many different ways that you can reap the benefits of this delicious anxiety medicine. One such way is to use a tea-light diffuser or an oil burner. Here you pour a few drops of your chosen essential oil into the well at the top of this pottery piece, then light the tea-light that is at the bottom of the diffuser. When the oil heats up, the aroma scents will surround your room or house with their soothing aroma.

For the end of a stress filled day you could enjoy a soothing bath that is mixed with your blend of essential oils and carrier oil. As the hot water mixes with the oils, this relaxing mist envelopes you and the blend is then applied on your body as you rub the water and oil mixture on. This is a wonderful way to apply the calming oils into your body.

To inhale the oils directly you can add a few drops to 2 pints of boiling water and before the steam is lost, cover your head with a towel and inhale this anxiety medicine for a little while. However for safety’s sake you shouldn’t get too near the bowl or inhale the oils for too long. For the anxiety sufferer who’s always on the move, mixing your chosen oil blend and storing it in a small roll-on will work very well.

The best way to keep your anxiety medicine blends fresh and long lasting is to keep them either in amber or cobalt blue glass bottles. The reason for this being that if you keep them in clear glass bottles instead and if sunlight penetrates the bottles then the oils will lose their potency and the healing effects will deteriorate.

If you’re interested in aromatherapy as an alternative anxiety medicine the best place that you could start would be to buy yourself a small guide to aromatherapy and essential oils to help you get started. This will prove to be an invaluable guide for you in the beginning and will also help keep you from making mistakes when buying your oils. Using aromatherapy as an alternative anxiety medicine the benefits you gain for your anxiety treatment can be numerous if you just open your mind to the endless possibilities.

Anxiety and panic can strike anyone at any time and these attacks can be debilitating as your entire life becomes centered on waiting for a panic attack to strike. The feelings can make you feel that you’re experiencing a stroke, a heart attack or even that you’re dying. When no medical help can be found to treat this “mysterious” condition, then you’re left to wonder when the next attack may happen. As you’re unable to predict the next attack you become extremely anxious and you might also develop a lingering and intense worry that your next attack could happen the next minute.

These intense emotions can keep you on a roller coaster of anxiety and panic. The more these symptoms are repeated, your brain begins to dictate how you should live so as not to experience any more panic attacks. This then, spirals into anxiety panic disorder.

The symptoms of anxiety panic disorder include pounding heart, weakness, feelings of being faint, and dizziness. Your hands may feel numb or they may tingle. You will experience chest pains, smothering sensations, a sense of unreality. All of these feelings may lead you to believe that you are having a heart attack, a stroke or even dying.

Anxiety panic disorder attacks can occur at any time. These attacks can last anywhere from a few minutes up to 10 minutes and there are even rare cases where a case anxiety panic disorder can last for about an hour.

For people who suffer from anxiety panic disorder there are other maladies that need to be treated as well. Depression and alcoholism are some of the accompanying illnesses and sometimes panic attacks can spawn phobias as well. These phobias occur where a panic attack first happened. This may even cause an anxiety panic disorder sufferer to restrict their lives so they avoid situations that might invite another attack.

If you suffer from an anxiety panic disorder you’ll know just how debilitating it can be. To that end an anxiety panic disorder sufferer has a number of options to choose from to either learn to cope with their condition or to find a fitting cure. The first step however, is as always in your hands – only you can find a suitable method of ‘cope or cure’ for your anxiety panic disorder.

There are many types of anxiety treatments that you can try. Before you embark on such a step it’s a good idea to talk with a doctor or a psychiatrist who specializes in anxiety and panic disorders. As the treatments can be varied you will need to let your doctor know that you suspect that you are suffering from anxiety disorders so that your specific complaint can be identified. Once your anxiety is diagnosed then treatment may begin.

You might want to ask your doctor what the normal anxiety treatments are and their side effects and you should also find out what their effect will be on your lifestyle as well. The alternative remedies may not be completely proven by medical science as anxiety treatments, but a number of people state that these alternative treatments do work at providing relief from anxiety symptoms.

The traditional anxiety treatments are prescription drugs like Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, Buspirones, antidepressant medications and others. These drugs work to lower the chemicals that cause anxiety to surface. While many people have found relief from their anxiety symptoms, these tablets alone may not completely cure your anxiety disorders.

Alternate anxiety treatments include the age old methods of Acupuncture and Ayurveda. Both of these eastern anxiety treatments bring the symptoms of anxiety back into control by rebalancing your body’s internal energies. These treatments use a number of essential oils, poultices, herbal remedies and sterilized acupuncture needles to achieve that effect. These alternative anxiety treatments not only control the effects of anxiety in your body they also have the ability to completely cure your anxiety disorder symptoms.

Another alternative anxiety treatment is Gemstone therapy. Here it’s believed that gemstones have properties that can correct imbalances within your body. Each gemstone that is used in this treatment has healing properties and colors. The right balance can be achieved by placing a gemstone at a specific point on your body.

Other anxiety treatments include Tai Chi, yoga, dance therapy, cognitive therapy, behavioral therapy and many others. By following a course of treatment that works best on your anxiety you stand a good chance of being in control of your life once more and truly in the end that’s all that matters.

This is by no means a given and don’t take it as such; it’s merely a statement of fact. Attacking anxiety depression need not be a necessary course of action for you, but if you find yourself unable to cope with the many stresses that your anxiety attacks brings upon you, then you might just find yourself fighting depression alongside your anxiety.

Generally speaking though anxiety depression comes through over a course of time and comes in so gradually that you’re probably unaware of it until some time has passed. If you let your anxiety attacks become a controlling factor in your life and don’t seek help, then as your anxiety attacks become worse so too will your anxiety depression progress.

The helpless feelings you get with your anxiety attacks, the sheer inability and frustration of not being able to control your reactions can alone bring on anxiety depression. This coupled with the debilitating fear that takes hold of you can sometimes lead to severe depression, which can in turn contribute to increased anxiety attacks and so on in a vicious cycle. So really, attacking anxiety depression head-on is the best thing that you can do to help yourself break out of this cycle and there are many ways that you can do this.

The easiest and most sought after method for attacking anxiety depression is in the form of medications. Your doctor can help you with that one, but chances are that if you’re already taking medication for your anxiety you’ll be taking an anti-depressant medication as well. The reason for this being that the drugs available to treat anxiety are also the same drugs used to treat depression as well. So if you still feel depressed talk with your doctor about changing your medication for one better suited to you.

Another great method for attacking anxiety depression comes in the form of a qualified therapist. Along with treating your anxiety disorders through therapeutic methods a therapist can also help to alleviate your symptoms of depression, sometimes helping you to perhaps eradicate it altogether. Don’t underestimate the power of talking.

There are also many alternative and natural methods you can use in attacking anxiety depression and these run the gamut from the use of herbs in your daily life to the use of such alternative treatments such as Ayurveda or Acupuncture.

Many or all these methods might not work for you but your best recourse in attacking anxiety depression lies in trying until you find the right method for you. Just remember to get qualified medical help when you try out any new treatment method.

Whatever the case maybe, and however you came across it, you should always be wary when you’re presented with any new drug, especially when it comes bearing the tag “best anxiety drug”. It might be just the thing that you need in your fight against anxiety, but you should also be aware that it might also be completely wrong for you and also that it could make your condition worse.

Some drugs also have serious side effects that can affect you in the long term. Even herbal drugs like St. John’s Wort can have side effects like photosensitivity – sensitivity to light – which can affect you if taken over a long period of time.

Other drugs first touted as the best anxiety drug available, have now been known to induce withdrawal symptoms in many people. Since this knowledge was only fairly recent, this so-called “best anxiety drug” was one that was freely prescribed by doctors up until recently, when better anxiety drugs were found.

The thing to know and recognize though is that most drugs will have side effects and most of the time very little is known about the drugs themselves. While it’s true that these drugs have undergone rigorous testing before being passed on to you, you should still be aware that the latest wonder “ best anxiety drug” has not been tested on you. What this means is that in addition to the many various side effects that you might get from the drug that are already listed, you might also develop other symptoms.

This holds true for any medication and you do need to be careful. So don’t rush out and jump on the bandwagon of the next “best anxiety drug” to hit the market. Wait a little while, do some research into this new wonder drug and talk it over with your doctor first. There is no real substitute for caution and as long as you realize that there is no cure-all drug to treat your anxiety, you can’t go too wrong. This way you won’t be tricked into believing that you’ve found the best anxiety drug there is and you’ll be able to find one that is more suited to you not your next door neighbor!

Many doctors, therapists and psychiatrists have different theories regarding what the causes of anxiety may be. Some state that genetics may be the key to understanding anxiety disorders. Others state that it arises from circumstances thus making it a learned behavior. Still others have no real idea as to why anxiety is caused in the first place.

However we may identify some of the more common causes of anxiety as being brought about by a mental condition, perhaps a physical condition or state. The misuse of drugs as well as the effects of certain types of prescribed medications can also become an anxiety cause. There is also the possibility that a combination of the above causes may lead to an anxiety disorder.

Some of the causes of anxiety are due to certain mental conditions and these may also include other types of anxiety disorders like panic disorder. Then there are the physical conditions that may give rise to anxiety. Palpitations, dizziness and shortness of breath are all considered to be causes of anxiety.

Other reasons can include coffee and caffeine based beverages, amphetamines like speed, an overactive thyroid muscle, abnormal heart rhythms and other types of heart problems. An example of such a heart problem is mitral valve prolapse.

While these are some of the causes of anxiety there are many others that play their part in causing anxiety disorders. Other types of anxiety disorders can themselves contribute towards anxiety. These may be Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD, Phobic disorders and Stress Disorder.

Stress from a number of different situations will also cause anxiety. Instances like stress at work, stress from a school problem, stress that results from personal relationships like marriage, stress due to trauma, such as the death of a loved one. Then stress from a serious illness and financial stress can also be contributory causes of anxiety.

Apart from these causes of anxiety you may experience anxiety because of medication that you might be taking. These medications may be prescription drugs to treat other illnesses or they may even be illegal drugs like cocaine. Another consideration to take into account is that the side effects from certain drugs may also be part of the causes of anxiety as well.

As we may never really know the exact reasons why anxiety develops the exact causes of anxiety are still a mystery. Hopefully one day we will understand this complaint and be able to treat it before it becomes a serious problem.

I know for a fact that my head was spinning within minutes of trying to sort through the various drugs available to me. My doctor was very helpful and gave me enough data on the various drugs available for me to be able to compile my own drug reference guide, but this was slow going and tedious work with only my dogged persistence taking me through to the end.

Happily now there are other means and methods available to find a better drug reference guide to the readily available anxiety drugs. The easiest place might seem like your doctor’s office or even your local chemist’s, but here again you might become inundated with more material and information than you really need. You might however strike it lucky and come across a quick drug reference guide that can help you.

If you don’t you can always turn to my favorite method and do some research on the internet. Quick and virtually painless, with a few little jabs of the mouse and a few taps on the keyboard you can find out almost anything and everything you’ll need to know on anxiety medications. Not only that, if you’re interested you’ll also be able to find a herbal drug reference guide to help you find the pro’s and con’s of going ‘herbal’.

So whether you take SSRIs – Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors – or St John’s Wort; whether you take Buspirones or Beta blockers or Chamomile or Valerian, with a little time and research you’ll be able to find the different drugs available to you, along with their effects, and side effects.

As always any medication should be taken under the supervision of a qualified medical practitioner but with a handy drug reference guide – herbal or otherwise – you can be more informed and be ready to deal with whatever comes your way.
