Understand Anxiety: Recognizing the Roots and Remedies
Tachycardia can trigger anxiety, leading to a cycle of worry that exacerbates physical symptoms. Understanding that such rapid heartbeats are often not deadly can help mitigate the emotional response. Effective coping strategies include specific relaxation techniques to manage the heart rate. Herbal remedies like skullcap, valerian, holy basil, and passion flower can alleviate physical anxiety, but addressing emotional anxiety requires deeper reflection. The physiological responses of excitement and anxiety are closely related and can be indistinguishable, indicating the importance of interpreting sensations correctly. Combining herbs in lower doses can enhance their synergistic effects, providing relief while allowing for emotional work to be done.
