    Anxiety

    Anxiety is a difficult problem that can affect people of all ages. It may manifest as being anxious, worried, or phobias or panic attacks amongst other emotional symptoms. Often there are sleep problems. It may also lead to more physical symptoms such as irritable bowel, headaches, asthma and many others.

    The condition is diagnosed by taking a careful history, and taking into considerations other diagnoses such as depression, or bipolar illness (manic depression).

    Once the diagnosis is made, there is very little conventional medicine can do to help. There are no particular medicines or drugs that can adequately control the symptoms. It is frustrating to try one thing after another but to still suffer with the condition despite it all. The drugs commonly used are anti-depressants, or even tanquilisers such as benzodiazepines (e.g. temazepam, nitrazepam, etc.). These can cause many more problems, and even make the anxiety worse.

    How Can We Help?

    We offer a caring, alternative approach to your needs.

    We specialise in Complementary & Alternative Medicine, and there is much that can be done to help Anxiety with this approach.

    Each person is dealt with individually. Each person’s needs are different. The actual treatment will vary from person to person.

    There are a number of therapies and treatments that can help with Anxiety, and different approaches benefit different people. There are a number of different factors that need to be taken into consideration.

    A number of therapies may be helpful, including herbal medicines, counselling or hypnotherapy.

    Following an initial assessment, or a free initial consultation (may not be available at some Clinics), a recommendation will be made regarding suitable treatment.

    What Tests Do You Need?

    A number of tests may be of benefit, including the following:

    • Full Body Screening
    • Amino Acid Assessment

    In addition, we usually recommend a Vitamin and Mineral test for most of our patients, as vitamin or mineral deficiencies can contribute to many health problems.

    It is not always necessary to carry out any tests in Anxiety, as it may be possible to obtain good relief from the symptoms with a number of therapies.

    What Advice Do You Get?

    The actual advice given depends on the individual.

    As we specialise in Complementary and Alternative Medicine, our treatments are based on this.

    Counselling or Hypnotherapy are important considerations in Anxiety, and often the most useful in helping to control the symptoms and relieve the condition.

    Other therapies, such as Acupuncture, Reflexology or VacuPressure can also be helpful in Anxiety, and are recommended where appropriate. Nutritional medicines and herbal medicines can also be extremely useful in Anxiety. Proper advice will be given during your consultations, but some suggestions are given opposite.

    A comprehensive treatment programme – based on the therapies discussed above – is recommended during your consultations.

    How Successful Is Our Treatment?

    Our treatment programmes are usually very successful. We often succeed where others have failed.

    The reason for this is due to the experience we have gained over the years together with the efficacy of our unique, specialised products – herbal, homoeopathic and nutritional.

    Most – if not all – of our patients with Anxiety have benefited from out treatment programmes. Individual treatment programmes may be complex, and may need some commitment to follow successfully. Dietary changes together with a number of supplements, herbal and / or homoeopathic medicines to take every day, together with weekly treatments may be required for a period of at least 10 – 12 weeks.

    How Much Does it Cost?

    It is impossible to estimate the cost in any individual person, as the treatment recommended will vary from person to person.

    The tests that may be required also vary in cost, and further information may be found together with information relating to each specific test.

    The costs of individual therapies and products also differ, and you should refer to current price lists, or make enquiries at the Clinic.

    We always offer a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION, and further information regarding cost may be discussed at this time.

    (Free consultations may not be available at all the Clinics we visit.)
