subject: Natural Anxiety Remedies: An Effective And Long-lasting Approach To Anxiety Relief [print this page] 30 million plus Americans suffer from anxiety30 million plus Americans suffer from anxiety. That's one in ten of our neighbors experiencing a stress-related condition. Fortunately, anxiety is one of many conditions that respond well to therapeutic gems. I've found, in my practice as a naturopathic doctor, that when my patients wear certain therapeutic gems as necklaces, they receive real, ongoing support that helps stabilize emotions and reduce nervous energy and anxiety. I've seen great results with therapeutic gemstones.
What Happens When Stress Becomes Chronic?
Our bodies have a built-in way to respond to a stressful or threatening situation: it quickly secretes hormones to make us more alert, focused, and ready to react quickly. A short-term dose of stress, thus, can give us the energy and motivation to do our best and even survive a life-threatening situation. But when life becomes too full of stress, frustration, and anxiety, the body's stress response is triggered almost continually, and a state of hyper-alertness and fear can become chronic. Tension and anxiety are not only emotionally difficult, but can also negatively impact our long-term health. The body doesn't take time to properly restore and repair itself when it is in this emergency mode - just as when we are in an emergency situation, such as an earthquake or hurricane, we don't choose to fix a small tear in the carpet. A stressed body, over time, doesn't take care of the small "tears." It doesn't have the time or energy to heal and restore itself-and big problems can result. You can wear certain therapeutic gemstone necklaces to feel more balanced, calm, and grounded if you frequently find yourself feeling frazzled and overwhelmed.
How Rhodonite Helped Relieve Her Panic
I recommend Rhodonite for acute emotional stress or strain, with sudden anxiety. Using Rhodonite, a person feels calmer and more able to cope with any situation at hand. I've seen it ground and center people instantaneously. A nine-year-old girl came to my office in pain with a severe infection. She was panicked, crying, and unable to sit still, so I handed her a Rhodonite necklace. Within a few moments, she became peaceful and answered my questions calmly. It was a dramatic shift in her demeanor.
A few minutes later, however, she became agitated and started crying. She had taken off the Rhodonite I realized. She was peaceful again as soon as she put the Rhodonite necklace on. Her mother and I were amazed at how quickly she had become calm. Rhodonite can work this rapidly and effectively to calm the emotions and help us feel balanced, even in very stressful situations. A Businesswoman's Anxiety is Eased by Amethyst
Amethyst is another interesting gem for anxiety and stress. It's often the best gem to calm and relax the nerves. Amethyst energy nourishes the nervous system and allows it to move into a more relaxed state. Amethyst can be useful when we are going through emotional extremes or when we feel easily thrown off balance emotionally. With no negative side effects, wearing a therapeutic Amethyst necklace can help bring the nervous system into balance and reduce the harmful effects of stress.
A woman described how Amethyst helped her. Starting a new business she was concerned about money and the success of her project. She was exhausted with stress and worry about getting things done. When she began wearing Amethyst, she was able to relax and start to enjoy the work that had previously stressed her. Now each little thing didn't cause her to panic, and she felt more ease as she successfully grew her business.
Support for Grounding is Offered by Onyx
Onyx is another gem that is helpful for anxiety. Wearing a therapeutic Onyx necklace can help us become more grounded, especially when we're feeling overwhelmed. It's great for easing the anxiety that can come from tight deadlines or the need to focus on details because it helps us focus and multi-task. I've seen many people experience positive effects with Onyx. Whether anxiety comes from fear and shyness, or the stress of work or school pressures, Onyx can help.
Therapeutic gems also work well for pets. I have even seen Onyx work for a dog with separation anxiety. Happening to be physicians, his owners decided to try Onyx on their black Labrador. He stopped his anxious barking when left alone when he wore Onyx. The dog was calmer and more relaxed, and so were his owners!
These are just a few of the gemstones that can help with anxiety. I recommend using only therapeutic quality gems, because that's what's required for gems to be healing.
