When you are diagnosed with an anxiety and panic disorder it may be difficult to decide on a treatment that will enable you to find a cure that is right for you.
If you decide that medication is not your preferred choice of treatment perhaps it might be worth considering the benefits of a natural treatment such as yoga.
Meditation and yoga have been around for thousands of years and have been used successfully by many people as a way to relieve stress and to calm the mind.
Yoga is not about getting your body in to all sorts of strange positions.
It's about learning how to relax by adopting the correct posture and breathing techniques.
You may not realise that the stress of the symptoms of a panic attack will make you take shallow, quick breaths, which means that you are not taking in enough oxygen.
If your brain doesn't get enough oxygen you will be left feeling lethargic.
So learning the correct way to breathe will bring great results and mean you will be using the full capacity of your lungs.
If all this talk about yoga is new to you, don't worry, there is a lot of very good useful information to be found on specialized web sites.
There are also a great many books and DVD's available all of which will be helpful.
These are useful if you if you want to explore the many benefits that yoga can bring.
Unlike medication, there will never be any side effects and if you prefer not to join a class you can learn to practise at home.
So why not give some thought to trying this natural way to cure your panic attacks.
