Many people who suffer from panic attacks would be surprised to hear that this is a relatively common condition. Some people experience panic, or anxiety attacks once or twice during times of stress, while others have a full blown Panic Disorder, experiencing panic attacks a few times a week, or even on a daily basis. A Panic Disorder will be diagnosed if there are at least three panic attacks within a three-week period in reaction to situations that are not life threatening and which are not associated with physical exertion.

Panic attacks can occur at any time of the day or night and are so disturbing that many people have been rushed to emergency medical centers with suspected heart attacks or seizures, only to be told “It’s only a panic attack”.

ONLY a panic attack! Most people who have suffered a full-blown attack would have difficulty accepting this phrase. There is nothing ‘only’ about a panic attack, which can be so terrifying that the person is convinced that she is about to die on the spot! To be told that you are ‘only’ having a panic attack does not make it less real or less frightening - but often leaves the person feeling foolish and misunderstood, convinced that there is some undiagnosed medical problem which the doctors have missed.

Unfortunately, it has been my experience that many medical doctors have not been sufficiently trained in how to help people suffering from panic attacks. The usual medical treatment involves reassuring the patient that she is ‘fine’ and prescribing medication, which is often addictive and which may come with side effects that are sometimes more debilitating than the panic attacks themselves.

If more doctors recognized that panic attacks are relatively easy to treat without prescription medication, patients would be referred for treatment at the early stages of the problem. This would mean that there would be fewer people with chronic and severe forms of panic disorder and fewer dependent on strong drug therapy.

This eBooklet will examine the nature of panic attacks so that you can understand exactly what is happening to your body during an attack. With this knowledge, you can learn to identify the early stages of an attack and use certain techniques to minimize the attack or even completely prevent it from occurring.

What are Panic Attacks?

A panic attack is a physiological response to fear or sudden anxiety. Sometimes the object of fear is physical (like a spider) or an event (fear of flying, fear of heart attack or dying). Other times the panic attack occurs without an apparent trigger and may just ‘happen’.

The symptoms of a panic attack include the following: shortness of breath or feelings of suffocation; vertigo or faintness; heart palpitations; chest pains; trembling; sweating; chills or flushes; nausea; tingling sensations in hands, feet and face; feelings of de-personalization or de-realization; fear of dying, collapse or ‘going crazy’; an uncontrollable desire to run away or escape.

If you look closely at these symptoms, you will agree that they very closely resemble the body’s reaction to a frightening or life-threatening event. The experience of a panic attack is no different in symptoms or intensity to the experience of being threatened with a knife in a dark and lonely alley, or coming face to face with a dangerous wild animal! There is the same feeling of intense fear, the same rush of adrenaline and the same overwhelming need to escape. The only difference is that there is no actual danger present, or the perceived danger is one that would not unduly worry the majority of people.

In essence, then, a panic attack occurs when the brain ‘misinterprets’ a situation or event as life threatening and sets into motion a series of physiological and chemical events which result in what we call a ‘flight or fight’ response. Your body is made ready to either run away or to fight to the death! There is a surge of adrenaline, which provides the energy (and the desire!) to fight or to run away. Then there is an increase in the heart rate and the person begins to breathe faster and with shallower breaths, trying to get more oxygen to flow into the lungs. If there was really physical danger present, the individual would use up all the adrenaline in fighting off her foe and that would be that! During a panic attack, however, there is no actual need to fight or run away, so the rapid breathing often becomes hyperventilation. Hyperventilation upsets the levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the body, causing dizziness, tingling sensations, shortness of breath, chest pains, feelings of suffocation and fear of collapse or dying. All of these sensations, in turn, further frighten the person who is experiencing the attack - leading to more severe symptoms, thereby significantly prolonging the attack and increasing the severity of symptoms.

How to control a Panic Attack

Now that you understand that a panic attack is a series of physiological and chemical responses caused when the brain ‘misinterprets’ a situation as life threatening, you can use this knowledge to achieve control over your panic attack so that you can either minimize it significantly, or even completely prevent it, without the use of strong drugs.

The first thing to tell yourself is that a panic attack cannot kill you. Nobody has ever died of a panic attack and you are not going to be the first one in history! While panic attacks FEEL life threatening, they are not at all dangerous. Other people may not even notice that you are having a panic attack, unless you tell them. Panic attacks feel MUCH worse than they look!

Secondly, your body cannot sustain a panic attack for long. Even if you do nothing at all, your body will adjust itself to balance oxygen and carbon dioxide levels and remove excess adrenaline from the blood stream within at most 10 - 15 minutes, but usually only a few minutes. So what you are facing is not a life threatening illness, but only a brief ‘episode’ of panic. Many of my clients have been significantly helped by this knowledge and find that it really makes a difference to tell themselves that “This will only last a few minutes and then it will be gone”.

Thirdly (and here’s where YOU can be in control!) there are two main things to work on when preventing or minimizing a panic attack. The first is preventing hyperventilation syndrome (see above). The second is preventing a build up of adrenaline. Of the two, preventing hyperventilation syndrome is by far the most important - and so easy to do that it almost seems too simple!

To prevent hyperventilation syndrome, all you have to do, at the first sign of anxiety, is to slow your breathing down to about 10 deep breaths per minute. Breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose (try to breathe from your diaphragm rather than from your chest), hold your breath in for a few seconds and then release your breath slowly from your mouth. While you are breathing out slowly, it helps a lot to silently say (think) something calming like ‘relax’. Your diaphragm is a big sheet of muscle just under your lungs at the bottom of your rib cage. To achieve breathing with your diaphragm, you must push your diaphragm down towards your navel, so that your stomach ‘balloons’ out, while at the same time allowing air to enter your lungs naturally. When you relax your diaphragm, it will return to its usual position and thereby expel the air slowly from your lungs. It is worthwhile practicing this technique while you are alone and relaxed, but if you find you struggle too much - don’t worry! Slow, even and deep breathing will do the trick just as well. It is more important that you relax, than worrying about technique!

Once you have controlled your breathing and are more relaxed, you may find it useful to walk around a little, thereby using up some of the adrenaline in your body.

Sometimes a panic attack can creep up unexpectedly and before you know it you have all the full-blown symptoms, without even having a chance to practice your breathing. You may even wake up at night in the middle of an attack. Don’t worry! Even right in the middle of a panic attack, you can begin to control your breathing - slow breath in through your nose, hold your breath for a few seconds - and then slowly release the air through your mouth, thinking ‘relax’ and even consciously allowing your muscles to release tension and loosen up. The first few breaths may be a little difficult, but you will soon get the hang of the slow rhythmic breathing. Remind yourself that the panic attack will only last a few minutes and that it cannot harm you. Continue the slow breathing and before long you will be feeling much better!

Learning to control the symptoms of a panic attack improves with practice. Most people find that the breathing technique alone helps almost immediately, but some people need to keep trying until it works properly. It is advisable to find about 10 - 15 minutes once or twice a day to sit comfortably in a quiet spot and practice deep, slow breathing, not forgetting to think the word ‘relax’ every time you breathe out and making sure that you relax all your muscles as you breathe in and out. If you do this regularly, you will not only decrease the incidence of panic attacks, but you will also increase your ability to control the panic attacks if they do occur. Many of my clients find that once they have learned to control their panic attacks, the attacks disappear altogether!

Is there anything else I can do?

There are many other things one can do to decrease the incidence of panic attacks.

The first thing to remember is that the healthier your lifestyle, the less you will suffer from panic attacks. Regular exercise is a big help - as is a balanced healthy diet and regular meals. Make sure that you get sufficient sleep - studies have shown that sleep deprivation increases the incidence of panic attacks. Avoid stimulants like alcohol, drugs, caffeine and foods high in sugar. If you suffer from anxiety and stress, try and find out the causes and take steps to address them. If you are not sure why you are experiencing anxiety, consult a professional.

Many therapists use techniques like progressive relaxation or meditation to help the client learn how to access his own calming response (everybody has one!) and to lower anxiety levels to more comfortable states. This is often combined with psychotherapy to help improve self-esteem and understand the causes of the anxiety and cognitive therapy to ‘reprogram’ the negative thoughts underlying the anxiety or panic.

There are also many natural products which help and may be used alone or in combination with therapy. Regular use of MindSoothe (a combination St John’s Wort/Passiflora capsule) can minimize anxiety and stress and improve overall mood, thereby reducing the incidence and severity of panic attacks.

Try and involve yourself in something enjoyable and fulfilling. If you are a very active person socially and career-wise, take up something relaxing like yoga or pottery. If you are withdrawn and inactive, join a club, offer your services as a volunteer, or take up a hobby or sport which would bring you into contact with people. Taking your mind off your problems is often a big help! If you tend to take on too much, learn to ask for help!

Finally, it is important to note that most anxiety and panic disorders respond well to treatment and I would encourage anyone who suffers from these disorders to go for help. It can make all the difference to your life!

Conclusion

As we have discussed, panic attacks are the body’s physiological and chemical response to perceived danger, where no danger actually exists. There are many things which one can do oneself to control or significantly reduce the symptoms of panic attacks. Practice and persevere and you will feel empowered to control your panic attacks without the use of prescription drugs. If you have a friend or family member who suffers from panic attacks, encourage them to learn about what is happening to their bodies and teach them the techniques described in this E-booklet.

Acupuncture originated in China and over the years has become a popular therapy across the world. It is an important component of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The acupuncture process involves inserting needles at various points in the body. The basics of natural weight loss under the therapy revolve around the release of vital energy known as chi or Qi in Chinese.

Qi is considered to be the circulating life energy in Chinese philosophy. It is thought to be inherent in all things. The Chinese theory believes that Qi flows through pathways that are known as meridians. There are 20 meridians in the body out of which 12 are primary and related to specific organs or functions. The other 8 are called secondary meridians. Any imbalance in the flow of Qi through these meridians caused by a blockage within the body is considered to be the root cause of all disease and disorders including obesity.

There meridians are used by acupuncture specialist to stimulate and restore normal flow and balance of Qi. This is the process that is used for treating all disease. Modern science however believes that acupuncture needles actually stimulate the release of endorphins, a naturally occurring neurochemical that has analgesic properties. It is the excess availability of endorphins that gives a temporary sense of well being.

As far as weight loss is concerned, acupuncture attempts to restrict appetite and cravings for foods. It also eliminates excess water from the body and stimulates the pituitary gland, the master gland of the endocrine system, to burn extra fat. An acupuncturist inserts five needles, four of which are targeted at specific organs - kidneys, liver, lungs and the nervous system. The fifth one is simply inserted to calm an anxious patient. As per TCM theory, this releases the blocked energy and inhibits appetite and craving for carbohydrates and helps in general detoxification.

American acupuncturists have developed a process of ear staples for weight loss. In this process only the upper and lower part of each ear is stapled. This adapted method is less safe than the conventional method of inserting needles because needles are removed after every sitting while the ear staples are left in the ears for several days. The ear cartilage is not resistant to infection and is therefore not recommended by traditional acupuncturists.

Acupuncture treatment for weight loss has been around for years but there is no scientific proof of its efficacy besides the recently discovered release of endorphins. However, it is also not known to cause any harmful effects as long as the needles are sterilized. It does not involve ingestion of any artificial weight loss remedies whose efficacy is doubted by skeptics. Considering these aspects there seems to be no harm in trying acupuncture along with exercise and natural weight loss supplements provided they have proven credentials.

In persistent cases of acne that do not respond to topical treatment, an antibiotic alternative is usually exercised by doctors. An antibiotic is a drug, synthetic or natural, that kills bacterial proteins while inhibiting bacterial growth alongside.

If it was limited to this action, antibiotics would be the most preferred treatment for numerous bacterial disorders including acne. However, antibiotics cannot differentiate between bacterial proteins and cellular proteins that are part of the body cells. And this is what causes the negative effects of antibiotics, commonly known as side effects.

Tetracycline is the most common and the first-use antibiotic for acne. It is a broad spectrum antibiotic and also the least expensive. Tetracycline and its derivative, Doxycycline, are taken on an empty stomach or at least two to three hours after meals as food restricts absorption of the drug. Minocycline, another tetracycline derivative, on the other hand is easily absorbed and can be taken with food.

Tetracycline has the least side effects. But over time, there has been an increased antibiotic resistance towards the drug and it does not seem to work as well these days. This necessitated the development of its derivatives. Doxycycline makes the skin sensitive to sun requiring sun protection every time you go out. Both the derivatives also tend to cause gastrointestinal problems.

Erythromycin is a microlide antibiotic with an antimicrobial spectrum that is wider than that of penicillin. It acts on the protein synthesis of bacteria and slows bacterial growth. The gastrointestinal upsets like diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain that it can cause are extremely disturbing.

Taken over long periods some antibiotics may cause toxicity including liver toxicity. These antibiotics should also not be ingested during pregnancy. Some antihistamines and antacids may interact with other antibiotics making it imperative to consult a doctor. On the other hand, herbal antibiotics such as garlic, aloe and fruit based mild acids do not have any side effects.

Acne affects two third of all adolescents one time or the other and a considerable proportion of adults as well. An oily skin or a bacterial invasion on a sensitive area is the main causes behind the outbreak. Topical creams do not have the same effect on every one due to difference in types of skin. The urgency for seeking treatment is obvious since if not capped immediately, the infection can spread over a larger area.

Acne is an inflammatory disorder of the skin. The approach to acne treatment may either be direct or indirect. Topical ointments and drugs form the major part of the direct treatment modalities. There is a strong belief that the hormonal changes that occur at puberty are responsible for occurrence of acne.

When the level of testosterone increases the body secretes hormone like substances to fight the inflammation caused by it. Immune system health and acne are thus interrelated and a strong immune system can effectively prevent acne. A healthy lifestyle that avoids junk food, regular exercise and herbs for strengthening immune system are natural means of preventing and fighting acne.

A common question for women: are yeast infections easily treatable?

Its no surprise that yeast infections are one of the most uncomfortable infections that a woman will experience in her lifetime. These infections are caused by an overgrowth of an organism or yeast known as Candida. This organism generally lives in the vagina in small numbers, but when the bacteria in the vagina becomes out of balance the organism can grow to large numbers causing an infection.

Vaginal yeast infections are very common and occur in approximately 75% of the female population. They tend to occur more commonly in women who are under stress, lacking a nutritional diet, are taking antibiotics or who are ill. Infections can also happen as a result of hormonal imbalance during pregnancy. Women with a weak immune system are also at an increased risk of developing symptoms.

There are numerous yeast infection symptoms that occur with this imbalance, and they may differ between each case. Some symptoms that will most likely appear are an itching and burning sensation around the vaginal opening, a thick, white discharge resembling the consistency of cottage cheese, a burning sensation while urinating and pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse.

Although the pain and discomfort of yeast infections may be unbearable, a cure for yeast infection has long been found. A balanced pH level is the key to preventing Candida infections. If this is the first yeast infection that has been experienced, a visit to the doctor is always advised, however many times this infection can be safely and easily treated with herbal remedies. For instance, the herbal remedy Candidate has been used for many years to safely promote balanced and healthy levels of pH and bacteria in the body, thereby assisting the body in its natural ability to maintain routine levels of Candida and prevent overgrowth.

By supporting pH levels and promoting healthy probiotic growth, Candidate can help to control the levels of systemic Candida and thereby assist with the prevention of common yeast infections. 

Since a yeast infection is an experience that a woman will never want to experience again, there are several steps that can be taken to prevent them. It is important to avoid tight fitting clothing and if possible only wear white, cotton undergarments. Change your clothing immediately following water or sweat inducing activities and avoid heavily scented perfumes in sensitive areas. Be sure to wash well and dry the body completely after bathing.

While yeast infections can be annoying and uncomfortable, they are easily preventable and treatable. There are several over the counter and prescription medications to treat the infection quickly and effectively. If more than one yeast infection is experienced in a year, visit your doctor to ensure that a more seriously health problem is not the cause.

Many women who have been recorded to have bacterial vaginosis have reported that they had no signs or symptoms. This form of vaginitis is actually a mild infection that has been known to sometimes show no signs or symptoms or to clear up on its own. Researchers believe that bacterial vaginosis if left untreated can cause addition health risks such as pelvic inflammatory disease. Other risk factors from bacterial vaginosis can also include: Premature birth and a low birth rate during pregnancies.

Bacterial vaginosis natural treatments may include such things as: Tea Tree Oil, Goldenseal and Garlic just to name a few. Garlic is actually considered one of the best natural remedies. It is known for its antibacterial and antifungal high properties. If you’ve had a case of this form of vaginitis in the past, and are familiar with its signs and symptoms you may be able to save yourself some time and money before going to visit your doctor. Also many cases of this form of vaginitis have been known to dissipate on its own.

This form of vaginitis is generally caused by an overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina. In general there are several different types of natural bacteria that live in the vagina, when this bacteria becomes imbalanced; it then can cause a case of bacterial vaginosis. However this form of vaginitis often becomes confused with a yeast infection or trichomoniasis the difference is that bacterial vaginosis is caused by bacteria where a yeast infection and trichomoniasis are not.

Even though some cases of bacterial vaginosis have been known to disappear on its own, doesn’t mean that this is always the case. If you feel as if you have this type of vaginitis or if you have it and the signs and symptoms have not dissipated on their own, then it’s time to have it treated. Although it’s a mild infection, it can cause other health problems if left untreated. So if you’re familiar with this form of vaginitis, now may be the time to try bacterial vaginosis natural remedies such as Canidate, which supports the body’s natural ability to control systemic candida levels and balanced pH levels.

The second thing that you should look at when it comes to acne treatments is the ingredients that are used to create the product. It is important to select those that utilize herbs that have healing and toning effects on the skin. You may even have an interest in seeking products that contain herbal ingredients, such as Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree Oil), Arctium lappa,  Aspalathus linearis (Rooibos), Bulbine frutescence and Lavender Essential Oil in order to reduce blemishes that are present on the skin and to prevent future blemishes on the skin. These herbs and similar herbal ingredients have been found to drastically reduce the amount of sebum that the skin produces. Naturally, it is important that this component of the skin is regulated in order to ensure that pimple production is successfully halted.

Self esteem basically deals with how you think of your own self. You would be surprised at the changes a different attitude to your self can bring, to the situations that you will face in your life. A person with a healthy self esteem is very hard to break. Such people do not take anything including failures as a negative aspect of life. Failure could well be looked upon as an opportunity to improve your performance you know. For a person with such a positive attitude, their whole life becomes a process of self improvement and growth in self esteem, and rightly so as well.

You are the only one who upgrade or degrade your self esteem by the positive or negative things you think or tell yourself.For details switch to tips to boost self esteem

A low self esteem is one of the leading causes of depression and working to boost your self esteem can increase your chances for success and happiness on both a personal and professional level. While many people realize that they need to boost their feeling of self worth it is not always easy to accomplish. However there are several ways you can increase your self esteem. Here are seven ways to boost your self esteem.

1.First it is important to determine who you are. What nouns can you use to describe yourself (wife, mother, friend, teacher, etc.)? Also make a list of your strengths, capabilities, and skills. Many times our feeling of self worth are wrapped up in our negative perceptions of ourselves, especially in terms of areas where we feel a lack such as our physical appearance, education, finances, job, etc. However it is important to remember that our weight, our skin, our career, etc. are not who we are. Who we are is inside us and too often we hide the beauty of our generous souls, creative natures, and joyful zest behind walls we have built to protect ourselves. This can cut us off from others but even more dangerous it can cut us off from ourself.

Identify what is unique and special about yourself and regularly reaffirm that you are in fact skilled and knowledgeable in those areas. Find at least one area of your life that is a source of pride and joy in your life. Make sure to give yourself permission to explore that area and experience it as much as possible.

2.Too often we experience failure because we let others choose our goals for us whether it is society, our parents, partners, friends, or teachers. Don’t set goals based on the expectations of others but rather on what you want to do, what you enjoy doing, and what you dream about doing. Following someone else’s dreams rather than our own is setting ourselves up for failure which then leads to lower self esteem. Of course then we are even less likely to pursue our own goals which then leads to a cycle of failure and low self esteem.

3.Too often our negative perceptions of ourselves, whether it is our physical appearance, our financial status, or professional life, is determined by outside influences. It is important to remember that rarely do these negative projections come from an unbiased source so we should give them little credence. For example, if the messenger is popular culture or media, remember their goal is to make you feel bad about yourself so you will buy what they are selling. Similarly, many people (even people who love you) often build themselves up at the expense of others. It can help you improve your self esteem simply by keeping better company. Positive feeds positive and negative breeds negative. If you choose to be around positive people you in turn will become more positive. Don’t accept messages that damage your own self-esteem. It is much easier to improve or change your behavior when you believe you are lovable and capable.

4.Learn something new. Start a new hobby, learn a new skill, take a class, read challenging books, or engage in a new physical challenge or activity. Don’t be afraid of mistakes or failure. Simply stepping outside your comfortable rut is a success and every new skill and every piece of new knowledge gained is a success. Perhaps the final project is not as successful as you hoped but don’t overlook the other gains you made from the experience. Risk-taking builds confidence and gives you the courage to experience still more new things. Each new experience can help you learn and grow as a person as well as give you the opportunity for more success. Maybe that quilt didn’t turn out as beautiful as you hoped but you did make new friends in the class or found a great way to relieve stress. And perhaps you learned enough from the experience so your next quilt will be beautiful. Always remember trying and failing still puts you ahead of the person who didn’t try at all.

5.Choose two things that you know you are good at and think of three ways you could work to improve each of these even more. By concentrating on areas that you know you are already good at will improve your confidence and be a good building block for future success.

It may seem silly to discuss the symptoms of erectile dysfunction since it shows up in such an obvious way. If you have it, there is one major symptom that you notice. A symptom is defined as a condition that signifies the presence of something else. In this case, the ED is the symptom.

Erectile dysfunction, however, is usually the result of some other underlying condition. This underlying condition could be either psychological or physical. Neurological and hormonal conditions as well as diseases can start the onset of ED. More serious cases could be caused by things such as depression or anxiety.

Due to the fact that modern medicine and technology are allowing people to live longer and healthier lives, many people are enjoying sex later in life than they once did. This, and the fact that ED affects more men over the age of 65, is why this problem is now being looked at as a real medical condition.

If a person is unable to enjoy sex, which is a natural part of life, there can be devastating psychological effects. The presence of ED can also indicate the presence of some other disease. This is why the treatment of ED can be so difficult. There is often an underlying condition that also requires treatment.

Aside from the obvious symptoms of ED, there are many other physical symptoms that may accompany it. One example of this would be high blood pressure. Diabetes is another underlying condition that is characterized by excess blood glucose and continual thirst. These are just two possible conditions that could be related to the onset of erectile dysfunction.

There may also be various psychological symptoms that accompany erectile dysfunction. Chronic depression is often associated with this condition. It can be tricky to determine if depression is due to impotence or if it is the reason behind the impotence. Either condition can cause the other.

The reason for impotence may be something as simple as performance anxiety if no other underlying condition can be found. It can happen for a man who has not had an active sex life for a relatively long time. This could be because of being widowed or divorced, for example. The worry and anxiety of beginning to have sex again can cause doubt about one’s ability to do so. This can often lead to actual impotence. A pattern of self doubt and lack of confidence can begin if one starts to believe they cannot perform sexually.

It is up to you to sit down with your doctor and try to determine what the actual causes of the condition are. No treatment will be successful without a proper diagnosis. The condition may be able to be treated with drugs, such as Viagra or Cialis, or a more natural herbal remedy such as Ikawe. Either way, proper diagnosis is the key.
