Rehmannia for Anxiety Fear and Nervous Exhaustion

July 22nd, 2009 by admin

If you are feeling anxiety and fear, try to welcome them. If you have symptoms of shortened breath or you can’t move because of fear and life isn’t feeling as good as it should be approach your fears with curiosity because they can bring you gifts of self awareness. Feel the fear, acknowledge it, be gentle to yourself and take a step forward and do it anyway.Adrenaline, made by the adrenal glands, is the fight or flight hormone. During times of stress, the adrenals need to be looked after so they don’t get depleted, e.g. when you are stressed, even making a minor decision can cause a surge of adrenalin,  leaving you mentally blank, physically wiped out, anxious and fearful.

Make and claim your boundaries so you feel safe physically, emotionally and psychologically.
Talk to someone you can trust about your fears and worries no matter how silly you think they seem.

 

Often a fear is a hidden desire. If you don’t fear something anymore you might do it. What would your life be like if your fears came true?

Yoga postures, yoga breathing and focused meditation soothe the sympathetic nervous system. Regular practice can alleviate anxiety.

Exercise will help your fear and anxiety. If you feel like running away from it all, start running or exercising vigorously. 15-20 minutes of exercise a day will use up your excess adrenalin and calm your spirits

Rehmannia(Rehmannia glutinosa) is one herb that I include in my formula for relieving anxiety and nervous exhaustion.

 Rehmannia:

  • maintains your healthy adrenal activity and increases your resistance to environmental stress. Loss of adrenal activity is recognized as a contributor to a decline in health and is considered to be both an indirect cause as well as a side effect of many acute and chronic illnesses.
  • nourishes the adrenals
  • is traditionally used as an adaptogen. An adaptogen will increase your resistance to physical, environmental, emotional and biological stressors and restores normal physiological function to the body. Adaptogens are also known as whole body tonics.

Herbs can relieve your symptoms of nervous exhaustion and burn out. Herbs can restore adrenal and nervous function during times of stress. A combination of nourishing and tonifying herbs can manage your symptoms of anxiety and nervous exhaustion in a gentle and effective manner.
