Two common natural alternatives that people use as an anxiety and panic attacks cure are essential oils and herbal remedies. Since there are greater risks with anxiety medication, people may opt for natural safer solutions. Anxiety medication can be addictive, especially through long term use and have possible side effects. Herbal remedies and aromatherapy carry none of these risks which make them more attractive. Here we take a brief look at these two alternatives to treat anxiety.


St John's wort is an increasingly common natural remedy. It is so widely used that in many European countries, doctors prescribe it to treat mild to moderate depression as well as anxiety disorders such as GAD and social anxiety. St John's wort contains Hypericin, which is the main ingredient that reduces anxiety. In Germany St John's wort is prescribed as an anxiety and panic attacks cure to people of all ages.

Lab tests prove that against a placebo, St John's wort shows effectiveness. You can buy St John's wort in most countries without the need of a prescription. While it is easy to obtain this remedy, it would be worthwhile to ask for your doctors advice. Studies have shown possible interactions with other medications.
