If you suffer from panic attacks, try one of these 6 home remedies

4. Eat a balanced diet. According to Harvard Health Publishing, certain foods can help alleviate stress and anxiety and release dopamine and serotonin. Foods on the list include green leafy vegetables, cashews, egg yolks, fish, sauerkraut, pickles, asparagus, avocados and almonds.

5. Limit (or avoid) certain beverages. If you tend to suffer from panic attacks, WebMD recommends limiting, or possibly avoiding, caffeine. For the high-strung person, when the caffeine hits the system, the sweaty palms and pounding heart it can cause can lead to a full-blown panic attack. Alcohol may also be something you want to limit or remove from your beverage list. The AddictionResource says that some people find it worsens their panic attack symptoms.

6. Aroma therapy. Lavender in a diffuser appears to show some success at helping people relax and calm themselves, according to the Mayo Clinic. If you tend to have allergies, you may want to test this before jumping on it, but you might find spritzing some on your pillow at night will help you relax and get a better night’s sleep. You can also mist it into the air.

Don’t let fear of panic attacks rule your life. You have a lot of choices for managing your stress and anxiety; and as you begin to see you can control these attacks, you may see them decrease in frequency.
