This helpful excerpt from ‘The Doctors Book of Home Remedies for Women’ will give hope with these panic busters.
‘The symptoms of a panic attack vary from person to person, but they usually include a combination of the following: breathing difficulty, sweating, chest pain or discomfort, loss of balance, feelings of unreality, trembling, tingling or numbness in the extremities, nausea, palpitations, smothering sensations and hot or cold flushes. There is always an overwhelming anxiety. Most attacks last just minutes, and few go on for more than an hour. You can beat panic attack. If your doctor has confirmed that what you are experiencing is bona fide panic and not something else, you can learn to cope with the symptoms - calmly. Here’s how:
- Talk yourself out of it - “Tell yourself, ‘Okay, I’m having a panic attack. I know that I’m not having a heart attack or dying or going crazy. This won’t last long. It will pass. I’ll get through it’,” says Dr. Vogel. This self-talk - part of an approach called cognitive behavioural therapy - should take the edge off the anxiety and your symptoms should start to fade.
- Relax, one muscle at a time - While you’re reminding yourself that you’re going to be fine, try deep breathing or some other relaxation technique, like progressive relaxation, says Dr. Vogel. Relaxation helps diminish symptoms, end attacks and lower the chances of future attacks.’
Mannatech Inc was founded in November 1993 by current CEO and Chairman Sam Caster. During its first two years, the Company focused on products that contained aloe vera extract. Mannatech announced its flagship, Ambrotose, 1996 based on the discovery that the body’s immune system needs eight plant-based sugars- also known as glyconutrients - to function properly to give optimum health and well being.
