Yes true, because medications can have side-effects which may harm your body and change the hormonal balance of the body. But if natural ways fail in resolving your anxiety-related issues, then you must go for professional help. If you consider medication as useful then all the better. But natural remedies should be a part of our lifestyle, especially for people who are prone to stress-related problems.

Yes, natural remedies are effective in the moment. If you start to have a panic attack and do not have your pills at hand, then natural remedies especially breathing techniques can help you in the midst of the attack. Natural remedies and medication both are essential and cannot be replaced by the other.

Yes, it has a few side effects and thus can be integrated within your lifestyle. And even after your stress lowers down a regular practice of natural remedies may yu in the long run if anxiety-related issues start to appear again.

Yeah, but at the end of the day Natural remedies too are user-specific, some do not like the idea of exercise, some cannot concentrate properly while breathing, diet monitoring becomes impossible for busy people and so on. It is effective in low levels of stress but like medication, it is dependant on the person using it.

Yes, but when exercise becomes addictive, it makes your body and mind much fitter and helps you in the long run. Whereas, if medication becomes addictive it is generally a problem. People who become addicted to a certain medication may find themselves in another treatment pt rove the addiction.

Yeah, not necessarily many common anxiety relief pills include Xаnаx which is highly addictive and may cause drug withdrawal symptoms and can result in severe dependency within a month of its use.

No and never. Natural options are best because natural options have no side effects. Yoga is the best exercise ever to relax and get your internal system run properly whether it is a biological system or psychological system.

I certainly believe that meditation and yoga are effective natural methods to combat stress and anxiety and other diseases. Also, healthy eating and some plant teas can help a lot. But always traditional medicine is necessary.

I feel that natural remedies for stress and anxiety can effective when the stress and anxiety are at low levels. I personally used exercise, yoga, meditation, and breathing techniques to help me with basic levels of stress and anxiety. However, I got to a point where these things were not enough, and I had to seek medical help. Now I use medications and natural remedies to help with my stress and anxiety.

I liked the way the book was structured to address every issue on its own. That's why each individual can connect with a different remedy than another. The severity of a condition can extremely affect one person and show mild effects on another.

Relatable, the medications combined with natural methods mentioned by the author are presumably workable for the majority. The author recommends turning to medication if the condition worsens. However, I think it all depends on what works for you.

Just as you don't know what might work for a severe condition, so does the practical guide. Kinrys highlights that the book shouldn't be used to replace a visit to a medical practitioner if it is necessary to do so.

Sure, science has had a long transition, especially in the medical sector. I've also found some medications to be addictive. And though not all have adverse effects, it's better to first try some of the natural remedies recommended in this book.

If some of the natural remedies are not regulated, they may have negative effects. Notwithstanding, some exercises might cause so much strain to body organs if done without moderation.
