Panic Attacks and Anxiety Linked to Low Vitamin B6 and Iron Levels by Herbs Info

Panic Attacks and Anxiety by Dr. Ronald Hoffman
"Dr. Derrick Lonsdale, a colleague of mine, has advanced the theory that certain people with neurological symptoms may have unrecognized borderline vitamin B1 deficiencies. Lonsdale worked especially with children who had autonomic nervous system dysfunction–not specifically panic syndrome, but a syndrome of drastic swings between lethargy and hyperexcitability–and found that thiamine often helped stabilize them. Interestingly, it’s been shown that vitamin B1 is necessary for the metabolism of sugar. People who consume a lot of sugar and refined carbohydrates not only may deplete their vitamin B1 by using large amounts to metabolize sugar but at the same time may not be getting enough vitamin B1 because refined foods are notoriously low in this nutrient. In fact, the origin in Asia of the classic vitamin B1 deficiency disease, beriberi, was the polishing of rice–stripping the husk off brown rice to make it into white rice. It’s the husk that contains the vitamin. So if your diet contains a lot of white flour, sugar, and processed foods you may not get enough vitamin B1."

3. Peaceful is my go-to blend for panic/anxiety issues. - Allyson

4.When I'm struggling with anxiety, Sweet Orange helps a lot. For overwhelming stress, I reach for Basil ct linalool. Exercise also helps to balance emotions/hormones. - Teresa

I apply these to my chest, neck, wrists and will also apply White Shield to my shoulders and Relax on my temples. I also love to diffuse Serenity . . . Ohhhhh my! This definitely helps me. - Amanda

8. I agree with Lynsey, I reach for Palo Santo when I have panic/anxiety issues. - Lorinda

9. Bergamot is my favorite for panic attacks. - Sheryl

10. When I'm really stressed and on the verge of a panic attack or anxiety meltdown, I use either Lavender or Frankincense, and then I get on my stationary exercise bike and pedal for 45 minutes. This combo seems to help. - Adriana

11. Adagio helps me face the storm of an anxiety attack. - Bonnie

12 .My mother's MD suggested that panic attacks might be related to A-fib issues, which is due to low magnesium and/or potassium levels, so dark, leafy greens, bananas, coconut water are good choices along with a long soak in Epsom salts or magnesium chloride flakes. Magnesium oil is beneficial as well - Adriana

13. I had severe anxiety, chest pain, nervous feelings and so on. I found out that I had dramatic ups and downs with my adrenals. They are staying low now, but I used Vitality when I was the worst. It helped some, but I think pairing it with complete sugar elimination was the best thing I could have done. All my severe anxiety is gone, and the little that I get here or there is totally manageable with a drop of Relax or Peaceful, B12, breathing and prayer. - Marti

14. I had severe anxiety panic issues. I really like Peaceful. I support my adrenals with adequate vitamin C, B complex, omega 3, and magnesium. I am lactose intolerant and I take supplemental calcium (with vitamin K) or I get more jittery and twitchy. Sometimes food sensitivities can put a person who tends toward anxiety right over the edge. I cannot tolerate caffeine, sugar, processed foods, corn, gluten or dairy most of the time. Also you might want to avoid high glutamate foods and see what happens. Some people are very sensitive to glutamate which can rev up anxiety. Anemia, too, makes anxiety worse. - Margaret

15. I like Palo Santo and/or Relax for panic attacks. I also find Rescue Remedy calming.
