Covering up the symptoms of something deeper is not the answer.Does anyone know some herbs for dealing with panic attacks, that maybe they have found helpful?
I agree about st. Johns wort, I took it once it wasn't good, but don't know it it's reactions are so stronge if combined with other herbs, it could be beneficial.I tried teas like green tea and white tea and what not... Just some very aromatic and soothing tea's... But in my case they became a crutch.... And I stopped leaning on God and more so the tea's... But go to your local natural grocers store and ask them...
Edit: I would caution against St. Johns Wort... its side effects are worse (mentally) then what you gain...
I've been taking valerian root for over 20 years, it is excellent. A great relaxant but you could feel when your body is stressed, then it is a good time to take 2 and you will feel like you were on vacation. It is advised to take at night. If needed maybe 1 during the day, in a stressfull situation, it cushions the nerves to relax.Some herbs you can buy that will help with anxiety and panic attacks are:
1) Saw Palmetto
2) Valerian root
3) Saint John's wort.
Also abstain from caffeine and alcohol.
skull cap is good, I like kava kava, but it is strong and has a very calming effect, Gaba is good too. hyssop herb, will cleanse your blood. "The scripture that says, purify me with hyssop they were right it does purify the blood.'skullcap; ginseng (siberian); hyssop herb; st john wort

I do take magnesium, any time can't sleep it puts me out. I was actually looking for something for my son. I will try the magnesium for this too. In my area where I live many people are deficient in mag.A long time ago I suffered from panic attacks and then a few years ago, started to feel that anxiety again. Prayed about it and researched about it and read that a lack of magnesium will cause that and a multitude of other symptoms. After about a month of taking lots of magnesium, no more anxiety and haven't had a panic attack since (but kept on taking magnesium daily for quite a while). Hope this helps.
