Homeopathic Remedies for an Anxiety Attack

Anxiety is something everyone experiences at one time or another, but severe anxiety can be triggered by excessive worrying, fear and the feeling of impending doom. These feelings can trigger an anxiety attack with symptoms that include muscular tension, shaking, restlessness, heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, difficulty concentrating, headaches, sweating, and irritability, fatigue and sleep disturbances. Some homeopathic remedies can help alleviate an anxiety attack.

  1. Aconitum

This treatment is ideal for individuals who experience a rapid heartbeat, heart palpitations and respiratory difficulties due to anxiety. Further, Aconitum is used to help alleviate fear of physicians, surgery and dentistry as well.

    Arsenicum Album

    • Arsenicum album can be used to treat anxiety that has no identifiable cause. If your anxiety is associated with symptoms involving chills, restlessness, the fear of death, a feeling of insecurity and a pressing need for perfection, then Arsenicum album should be used as a homeopathic remedy.
