Natural Anxiety Remedies

Did you know that eating foods containing oats can be great natural anxiety remedies? Neither did I, until my Mum bought home a herb guide leaflet from our local health food store.

Also known as ‘Avena Sativa’, oats have lots of medicinal properties, including being anti-inflammatory and helping skin conditions like eczema and hives. Additionally they have been used to help bad nerves for centuries, as well as helping you deal with stress, easing depression, giving up alcohol or drugs and calming hyperactive children.

You may already know that vitamin B is a great natural anxiety remedy because it helps to repair and protect the central and peripheral nervous systems. Oats are high in vitamin B, so they’re especially good for people suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, withdrawal, exhaustion and hyperactivity. You could simply start the day off with a bowl of porridge, or if that’s not to your tastes, eat a piece of flapjack as a snack before lunch.

For those who really don’t like the taste or texture of oats, there are still some natural anxiety remedies that contain avena sativa that you can use and they are smoothies. Simply put a tablespoon of oats into a smoothie maker/blender, add half a banana, a cup of milk, a few drops of lemon and a teaspoon of honey and blend them together. Add some ice cubes to make it deliciously cold and you won’t be able to taste the oats at all.
