Do you wonder how to treat anxiety? What is effective and what is not? What to do to reduce or eliminate anxiety attacks? In many cases the attacks are alarming but not severe and only lasting a few seconds.
In these cases, some of the treatments can be done by yourself.
Like proper breathing and use of some herbs.
Then there are the attacks that are severe and interfere with the ability to function.
Your breathing becomes short, your hands may cramp up and great feelings of doom come over you.
If the later is the case, get some professional help.
For some things that can reduce the occurrence of mild anxiety attacks you might consider the following:

• Self-Hypnosis
• Meditation
• Controlled Breathing
• Natural Herbs
• Aromatherapy

Self-Hypnosis can seem a little "new age" at first glance, but when you stop and think about it, where does the anxiety come from? The mind, right? Self-hypnosis can be a way to identify why the fears exist and what causes them.
Once identified, you can address the problem and even eliminate it from you life.
Another anxiety treatment using the mind is meditation.
Meditation can be used to gain peace of mind and even release the tension.
If you learn to properly direct your thoughts, you may find it possible to calm your body and avoid the attacks.
However, it's not a quick fix and requires some commitment to the process.
One thing that can help avoid attacks and even reduce the effect of an anxiety attack is proper breathing.
Controlled breathing can relax the body and release the tension that can cause muscle contractions.
When done properly, breathing techniques are a simple and effective treatment for anxiety that can be done at anytime.
Natural Herbs have helped some reduce stress and anxiety.
Some of the popular herbs are

• Passionflower
• Valerian
• Kava
• Green Tea
• Ashwagandha
• Bugleweed
• Chamomile

In the same category of natural treatments, you can add Aromatherapy, which is used to reduce anxiety.
Some of the oils used for anxietytreatment are:

• Jasmine
• Rose
• Cypress
• Geranium
• Sandalwood
• Lavender

The other option for treating anxiety is of course getting professional help.
This may be the only answer and should not be ignored.
Remember that what you tell your doctor is not public information, and the simple act of talking may be helpful in itself.
Having said that, keep in mind that a typical approach to treating anxiety is done with prescription drugs.
These are often "beta-blockers" and "anti-depressants" which only block the symptoms and do not deal with the cause of the anxiety problem.
Not to mention that some of these drugs are very addictive.
