| Aromatherapy
Essential oils have been found to be an effective way to help reduce stress, anxiety, and worry. Aromatherapy is a popular CAM practice that incorporates such oils to promote health and wellness. Aromatherapy oils possess many remedial properties that can benefit a person with panic disorder, such as by creating a sense of calm, promoting quality sleep, and enhancing energy levels. Find out more about how aromatherapy can help with panic and anxiety.
| Hypnotherapy
Many people feel uneasy about the idea of getting hypnotherapy. This technique is, however, one of the most popular types of CAM. Despite what is often portrayed in the media, hypnotherapy does not involve making people do silly things without their control. Rather, hypnotherapy involves guiding a person into a trance-like state in which he/she is deeply relaxed and highly open to suggestibility. It is at this time that the hypnotherapist instructs the client to focus on behaviors they would like to change. The hypnotist offers encouraging words and suggestions for turning these behaviors around. Get more facts about the uses of hypnotherapy, including how it can help with anxiety and fear.
| Reiki
Reiki is an energy-based CAM practice that is used to restore balance. It has been found to help reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. The effects of Reiki are often felt right away and can be long-lasting. Here you will find more information on Reiki for panic disorder, including where you can find a qualified practitioner.
