Anxiety and Depression
© 2010-2012 Botanica West All Rights Reserved
One of the biggest symptoms that our clients suffer from is anxiety and depression. There are more than enough reasons these days for this disorder with the economy in the tank, relationships put under stress, natural disasters as well as man made ones, the world in chaos . My great grandmother always said when poverty enters the door love flies out the window and I find this to be true.
There have been break ups of businesses, marriages and friendships due to financial stress. I see it first hand everyday, and i’m sure you have too. This directly effects our emotional and physical health. Many have lost homes they have had for years and personal belongings as well as jobs and careers only to hunt for jobs that they are overly qualified for which takes a toll on ones self esteem. This can cause anger, panic attacks, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, and resentment over lack of control over the situation and we find the need to place the blame. But in this day and age we are all struggling to stay afloat so we are all in the same boat.
With stress comes illness and is a key trigger for the onset of many kinds of cancer.We’ve seen more cancer this year in our clinic then in the previous years. We lost our dear Ron Gentili this year to pancreatic cancer.
Death of a loved one- parent, friend, child, close relative, spouse or even a beloved pet can shake up ones emotional life in most cases permanently.
Anxiety at its onset should be treated as soon as possible to avoid severe depression some common symptoms are
Palpitations
Insomnia Sweating
Trembling or Shaking
Difficulty Breathing
Difficulty Swallowing
Chest Pains/Discomfort
Abdominal/Stomach
Nausea/Vomiting
Dizziness/Faintness
Hot or Cold Flashes
Fears of Dying or Going Crazy
If these symptoms go unchecked then anxiety can go into depression. Don’t feel ashamed to ask for help. Anxiety and depression may be very debilitating and cause you to feel helpless. So ask for help. There are natural products and holistic treatment for anxiety such as Acupuncture, massage (amazing the power of human touch) drug free holistic psychological help, The pause method, and herbs and chiropractics to help with the physical symptoms.
We carry several Herbal product for anxiety such as
“Don’t be anxious” …An herbal remedy for nervousness and hyperthinking
“The ultimate chill”…for worry, heartbreak, hormonal anxiety commonly found in women.
We have acquired a new formulation for anxiety and depression. This product must be regulated by our practitioners. Call for information. We can custom blend a formula for your needs.
There are many alternatives to pharmaceutical medications and dealing with your problems head on instead of avoiding them is important. Lighten your load and simplify your life. Concentrate on only helping yourself first, I like the example of when you on a plane and they go through the emergency protocol just in case the plane has trouble is to put you oxygen mask on first then put it on your child. You have to deal with you first. Take time to breath and meditate.
And pray! Let someone with a higher power carry it for you when your problems are weighty.
And remember anxiety and depression is not a human weakness it happens to everyone and is nothing to be ashamed of. Lastly, remember we are here to help.

Friends and family are unable to help when anxiety goes into deep depression and the worst thing to say to a depressed person is there nothing wrong with you or to snap out of it. Especially if you were the strong one and carried everyone Else’s load and stopped carrying your own. Pause and think what got you there. Say no to things that others should handle and ask yourself what do I need and what do I want.

Part of depression has to do with the struggling to pay bills these days. It would be awesome to partake in all those therapies but who can afford it.
Some insurances will cover acupuncture, chiropractics, ND’s and osteopaths, who can provide these services. Also, don’t be afraid to read some of the classic literature on old school therapies that you can do at home, like sweat baths, nutritional therapies, prayer, stretching, simple herbalism. The base off all natural medicine is its simplicity. Read, research and practice. “Herbally your’s” by penny royal is a good place to start.
Communicate to your family your need for help, set aside “me” time to recharge your energy and emotional reserves, take hot baths daily, use a good daily vitamin, and set aside 30 mins for light to moderate physical exercise. You should feel at least moderately better in a few weeks. Find someone to talk to… a spiritual leader or close friend.
