*Victim Mindset: It’s very hard not to get caught up in the victim mindset when you have chronic anxiety problems. But when it happens, it will make you feel as though you are just irrevocably stuck with your anxiety issues. Please don’t buy such silly ideas! You are only a victim while you refuse dealing with your problems. And as you may have realized from reading this article, managing anxiety can be done in rather subtle and seemingly indirect ways.
== Home remedies ==
* [[Adaptogen]]ic herbs do not influence a person’s mood but rather optimize the function of the body during periods of high or chronic stress. Adaptogens regulate the synthesis of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol.
* [[California Poppy]] : Developing research suggests California poppy, in combination with magnesium and hawthorn, might be useful in treating mild-to-moderate anxiety disorders. This combination product, called Sympathyl, is not available in the US.
*[[Magnesium]] is a mineral that may be helpful in treating problematic anxiety and [[stress]].
* [[Orange Essential Oil]] :Breathing in the scent of orange essential oil may help alleviate anxiety.
* [[Valerian]] is sometimes paired with other herbs such as lemon balm or skullcap to help overcome daytime anxiety.

* [[Chamomile]]
* [[Ginkgo Biloba]] : Anxiety impairs your mind’s ability to think clearly and make good decisions about your everyday life. By increasing blood flow to the brain and overall blood circulation throughout the body, gingko biloba helps refresh your state of mind and acts as a natural antidepressant. People anticipating tasks which require a solid focus and concentration are advised to take gingko biloba so as not to anticipate their challenges in an anxious mood.
* [[Kava]] kava can lift your spirit and make you happier by inducing a mild state of euphoria and sedation. Kava kava is very effective in the treatment of anxiety, working within a week of taking it daily. In medical applications, the herb is used in the treatment for women with post-menopausal depression. For people with sleep disorders, kava kava is a non-addictive herb which can work as a mild tranquilizer.
* [[Passionflower]] works as a non-drowsy, natural sedative that relieves intermittent stress, nervousness, anxiety and panic attacks. It won’t put your worries away by knocking you out or making you sleepy. You can find a certain equilibrium in passion flower by making you feel emotionally balanced. For those with bipolar disorder, it won’t give you a hyper, happy or excited feeling. Instead, passion flower will restrain your emotions from its range of extremes. If you have exaggerated emotions throughout the day (in which you go from being very happy to being very angry or sad), you may find passion flower to be a nice tea to drink after letting it seep in boiling water for 10 minutes.
* [[Echium amoenum]] : In traditional Iranian medicine, decoctions of the petals are consumed for the duration that the anxiety or stress symptoms are experienced, suggesting that this herbal medicine may be suitable for more chronicforms of anxiety.
* [[Ginseng]] is also known as a “brain food” as it improves concentration, thinking, and memory. It is also a supplement for added physical stamina.

It can be used as a relaxant as it has tonic properties and can also help maintain emotional balance. Drink ginseng as a tea or take it in supplement form.
