Everyone has their own way of dealing with stress, anxiety, and panic; these are some products which have helped me tremendously.
I’ve been dealing with intense anxiety and panic since 2019, and because I’m a problem-solver I really was motivated to try all kinds of tools and remedies (natural remedies preferred) to help me not only deal with the anxiety, but to hopefully overcome it.

Anxiety heightens the senses; it puts you on alert for danger. Because of this, everything feels, smells, and sounds more intensely. I found that using essential oils such as lavender, or eucalyptus helped to ground me. I found this desk humidifier (which also helps to combat dryness and allergies) and I put a few drops of my favorite oil into the holder. It diffuses the scent and creates a calming mood.

If you are someone who is energy sensitive, using a tool such as a Tibetan Singing Bowl can help to clear your personal energy and space. It can help to ground you and then lift your mood. I prefer the sound of the smaller bowls; make sure to keep it elevated on the pillow that comes with it, to receive the maximum vibration.

This product was recommended to me by my Acupuncturist, who had to close her studio during the pandemic. I was so glad to receive relief, while at home in quarantine. As a result from working from home, my neck, back, and wrist were overworked. Acupuncture has helped me in multiple ways, even with soothing the effects of anxiety, so this mat has been a lifesaver when I was not able to get acupuncture.
When I’m in an anxious state, every single discomfort I feel in my body makes me nervous, so being able to easily remove some discomfort, such as neck aches, can help to calm me down. This mat is also great for grounding, since you become hyper aware of the positioning of your body on the mat. It takes a little getting used to, especially if you’ve never tried acupressure techniques, but it is worth a try.

Sleep is essential, but often hard to get when dealing with anxiety. I do also incorporate other products to help me sleep, such as Melatonin–the trick is to try different things to see what works for you. Drinking something warm before bed does calm me down, but sometimes tea is not enough. I found this Golden Moon Milk, which is tasty and has anti-inflammatory properties. It’s healing and also does contain relaxing herbs, and adaptogens to help you sleep.
Try also cutting back on caffeine, to help you get to sleep much faster at night, and stay asleep.

Speaking of Adaptogens, Ashwagandha is very popular (and effective) against stress and anxiety. This product was gifted to me and I have loved it ever since. Sometimes you just need a little something to help you feel stable and get through the day. I found that this supplement not only helps me feel stable, but sometimes I even feel a little boost of happiness.
Always check with your medical practitioner before starting any new supplement.

Now there’s nothing like getting natural Vitamin-D from the Sun, but because many of us have been at home, we haven’t been getting enough time outdoors. A vitamin-D supplement is the next best thing. Vitamin-D has been shown to combat symptoms of depression and lower levels of stress.
Always check with your medical practitioner before starting any new supplement.

I love using crystals for healing work. I actually recently learned about the power of magnetic therapy to help balance the body. I began using these magnetic bracelets to help ease the pain on my right wrist (from tendonitis), and it worked so well! I also noticed that when I wore them on each side, I would feel a greater sense of harmony within. This is an easy (and fashionable) way of getting a greater sense of ease from anxiety.
#3
I’ve been using magnesium oil for cramps in my legs, but I learned about the many other uses, such as using it as a deodorant. But one of the best benefits is that it helps you calm down, and even sleep! When I need an extra punch to the melatonin I take to help me sleep, I add on some magnesium oil to my legs. I usually spray and then rub it on, but make sure to wash your hands afterwards. If you feel tingling in your legs that just means your body was deficient in magnesium. Do some research on the benefits of magnesium to combat anxiety; you will be amazed!
#2
This tea!! I cannot tell you enough about this tea. I was put on by a friend and I LOVE it! This delicious tea works instantly to elevate your mood! I highly recommend it to help you find a little ray of sunshine to your day.
P.S: it could have adverse effects if you currently take any antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications…be sure to read the label for more information.

My #1 product for combatting anxiety is this 5-HTP supplement. I have been taking it as needed for a few years now. It has helped me tremendously, to help me feel balanced, stable, and even energized. Just read the reviews. I am so thankful to have stumbled on this product and have been a faithful customer ever since. Highly recommended!
Always check with your medical practitioner before starting any new supplement.
I don’t use all of these products every day, or altogether. I do mix things up; sometimes using two or three of these tools at a time, depending on how I’m feeling. I use the 5-HTP the most, along with the Cup of Sunshine Tea, which is why they are my top-2. You don’t need to be experiencing anxiety to use any of these products, but they definitely help if you are dealing with it.
Be patient with yourself and your body as you learn to navigate this phase (because yes it is just a phase). I use these tools and products along with other important lifestyle changes, such as speaking to a therapist, exercising, and cutting back on caffeine, among other things. Try everything you can and see how it works for you.
