Natural alternatives to anti-anxiety meds?

Kia ora wellness whānau! 🌿 Recently, I've been exploring natural ways to manage my occasional anxiety. My doctor was hesitant to refill my as-needed anti-anxiety prescription, suggesting it's only for absolute necessities. I tried explaining how it helps with my panic attacks and other issues, but no luck. They even made an odd comparison to alcohol, which got me thinking - is a glass of pinot really the answer here? 😅 As much as I enjoy a good Kiwi wine, I'd rather find healthier alternatives. Any fellow nature lovers have tips for calming herbs or mindfulness techniques? Maybe some soothing ukulele tunes or pre-hike breathing exercises? Let's brainstorm some holistic approaches that align with our wellness journeys! After all, embracing health is about finding what works for us individually. Looking forward to your thoughts! 🌄☕🎶

As a fellow nature enthusiast, I've found great success with meditation, deep breathing exercises, and herbal teas like chamomile and lavender. Regular hiking also helps clear my mind. Remember, everyone's journey is unique, so experiment to find what works best for you. Stay balanced, my friend!

Have you tried chamomile tea, lavender essential oils, or guided meditation apps? Regular exercise, especially yoga or nature walks, can also help. CBD oil is another option gaining popularity. Remember, natural remedies may take time to show effects, so patience is key.
