Natural remedies to calm the nerves

What is nervousness?

 

Definition of nervousness

Nervousness is a form of benign anxiety , which manifests itself by an "inner" state of excitement (emotional stress or irritability), and/or by an "outer" state of excitement (agitation and instability). This reaction can often be exacerbated by daily stress and a persistent feeling of anxiety.

Causes of nervousness

Nervousness can be triggered by various factors such as relationship difficulties, lack of time or rest, work overload, temporary annoyance, emotional shock, lack of sleep or overconsumption of stimulants. Managing the quantity and quality of these factors is crucial to maintaining emotional and physical balance.

A nervous breakdown can also be one of the symptoms of mental disorders or psychiatric illnesses such as depression, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, where stress and anxiety play a major role.

Symptoms of nervousness

People with nervous nervousness may experience:

• memory and concentration problems
• hair problems (hair loss, dandruff)
• behavioral disorders (anxiety attacks, excessive fear, apathy, etc.)
• sudden weight gain or loss
• sleep disorders (insomnia, sleep apnea, night awakenings, etc.)
• physical pain (back pain, neck pain)
• digestive problems (diarrhea and/or constipation).

These symptoms are often linked to increased stress and anxiety .

Fortunately, there are natural remedies to calm the nerves naturally , and thus regain mental and physical well-being, as well as a gentle serenity.

Natural Remedies to Calm the Nerves

 

Consume foods rich in magnesium

Magnesium is a mineral essential to the proper functioning of the human body. By acting on the nervous system, it helps reduce stress, soothe nervous fatigue and find serenity. Magnesium also contributes to the activation of melatonin, the sleep-regulating hormone.

To ensure a sufficient quantity of magnesium in your diet, it is therefore strongly recommended to naturally consume, on a daily basis, natural and organic foods rich in this mineral such as:

• Dark chocolate (organic and rich in magnesium)
• Brazil nuts
• Almonds
• Whole grains
• Legumes
• Bananas
• Some mineral waters that contain a good amount of magnesium

Practice sports

In addition to toning and refining the figure, sport is a real natural sedative that helps relieve nervous tension and stress. By secreting hormones and neurotransmitters such as endorphins, dopamine or serotonin, sport offers a feeling of well-being and thus promotes a state of relaxation and helps with relaxation.

A gentle physical activity of 30 minutes per day is therefore recommended to effectively combat nervousness, combat anxiety disorders and regain physical and mental well-being. This can be walking, cycling, swimming or yoga, which is known for its gentle practice and its ability to establish serenity of mind.

 

Using essential oils

Essential oils represent one of the natural remedies

the most effective for calming nervous breakdowns, and relieving stress and its symptoms. Indeed, certain essential oils have the effect of relieving any muscular pain or neuralgic pain.
