subject: At Home Treatments For Panic Attacks [print this page] Treatments for panic attacks are available in many forms in the market, both in the form of medication and in the form of natural therapies. However, both these treatments may not be instantly made accessible to patients; in addition, they certainly carry some side effects. Such time gap could be at times very costly and fatal. We would, in this article; look at some of the treatment for panic attacks that could be done at home.
The treatment of panic attacks begins with cultivating healthy dietary habits. The use of drugs and consumption of caffeine can trigger emotional problems as well as make the problem worse. Other treatments for panic attacks that you can do at home are such as exercising and meditation. Try to allocate some time to do meditation, breathing exercise and yoga. Do some exercising as well which will not only keep you busy and let you not think of unnecessary things but it will also keep you physically fit and strong.
Actually many people use a paper bag to help them cope with those problems, because the method works for them. The hyperventilaton problem, which is associated to the emotional disorder, can be alleviated with this method. It will be even more beneficial if the person actually believes in the technique rather than just following it. Be careful when using this technique; it can cause other problems if you overdo it.
Another helpful technique for panic attacks is to relax yourself as much as possible, in order to reduce the mental tension and contraction. Always begin with the smaller muscles, and eventually involves the larger muscles as well. You can relax your muscles by just letting your various body parts loose by shaking your body. When practising muscle contraction and relaxation, it is best to do it simultaneously with breathing exercises if you want to enjoy the best possible benefits.
Control your breathing, and let the breathing be a simple process. First you place your hands on your stomach to feel your own breathing speed and intensity. Talking to yourself and reassuring yourself that nothing serious is happening and everything would be brought under control will be the best treatment for these panic attacks.
