When I had an anxiety attack, I didn’t know about nutrition and herbology and at that time, I could not imagine that traditional Chinese herbs would have been effective with other modalities of treatment. In a stressed-out condition, there is a need for quick and strong relief. But in the long run, healthy foods and natural approaches to health are very useful in reaching balance.
Individual Constitution will affect outcomes from all foods. Accordingly, a cold body type person needs to avoid cold foods that makes you cold. Continued ingestion of cold food will make it hard to ignore the painful cold spots. Body functions will slow in pace. But in general the above selection benefits most people. If you want to get customized then I would suggest contacting, specifically, an Asian Medicine Herbalist. Notice I didn’t say accupuncturist. It is very important to find someone who specializes in Chinese herbs or herbology and food therapy regarding customized food and herb strategies.
Anxiety relief can be found naturally with food therapy & traditional Chinese herbs.
