How Passion Flower Tea Can Help Cure Anxiety?

The Law of Diversity.com

There is a major epidemic sweeping through the nation.

It affects up to 49% of the general population and is the leading factor that is contributing to depression, substance abuse, phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Robert L. Leahy PH.D and author of the article How Big a Problem is Anxiety? states that the average high school student today has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient did in the early 1950s. So how can we cure anxiety? We can cure anxiety by drinking passionflower tea.

Why is America suffering from anxiety?

One, managers decided that it was easier to control workers with fear as opposed to inspiration. Fear, invokes us to regress to a primal state where our instincts to survive takes over. Our muscles tense up, our metabolism quickens, and our adrenaline glands

produce extra qualities of adrenaline. This causes our hearts to beat much faster, resulting in high blood pressure, insomnia, digestive problems, skin disorders, mood swings, and even depression. This puts us into the constant flight or fight state, thus worsening any

pre-existing illness or health conditions.

Secondly, we live in a world that is now void of any real type of security.

In the 1950s, the average employee was expected to work and retire at a company after 30 plus years. Now, the average college graduate is struggling to find steady work. The mid-level professional has to change jobs every two years in order to gain an increase in pay. Divorce rates are higher than ever before. And mixed and blended families are starting to become the norm.

Technology has caused a decreased in social connectedness, where people are more isolated and lonely today now more than ever. People are now subject to unrealistic expectations about life, love, and success. People are also inundated with useless information from Twitter tweets, and status updates on Facebook.

Lastly, people have no real way to relax.

Yes, they can take a week off when it is time for them to go on vacation. Or they can come home and have a beer and veg out in front of the television. The only problem is that their boss needs them to be super stressed out in order to meet quotas and company demands. This makes it very difficult to turn off the anxiety button, resulting in people being incredibly stressed out throughout the entire day. After all, the body is being fooled into believing that it is in a dangerous situation. This means that you’re running your body at a rate of 100 miles per hour. Yes, anxiety truly means that your body and mind is exhausted. However, you can’t stop, simply because the fear of failure and insecurity won’t allow you to.

So how do we relax in a stress dominated society?

First, we need to find balance. Stress and anxiety is a contributing factor to many diseases. As a result, many prescription drugs have been designed to treat anxiety. However, I feel that people should look for herbal, organic or all natural treatments before putting any harsh chemicals into their body. This is perhaps why I recommend passionflower tea as an all-natural remedy to treat mood-disorder, panic attacks and even anxiety.

Secondly, passionflower tea has its stamp of approval from one of the best doctors around, Dr. Oz. According to Dr. Oz, passionflower tea has a compound called chrysin, which is believed to have a calming effect on those who are afflicted with anxiety, obsessive thought disorder, and panic attacks. Other studies have shown that women are more stressed out than men. They are more likely to suffer from mood swings, anxiety, and panic attacks during menopause. This is perhaps why Dr. Oz suggested that women over 40 take one cup of passionflower tea at night to help quell mood swings. After all, the plant passionflower has been known as a sedative and equalizer for many years. It bears the name, passionflower from a Spanish Conquistador that found the tea to be as potent as the passion of Christ.

Thirdly, passionflower has been known to treat anxiety better than the prescription medication xasepam.

A double blind, randomized trial compared the efficiency of the passionflower extract with the anxiety reducing medication xasepam. Both treatments were effective. Although the prescription medication xasepam worked more quickly, passionflower had significantly less side effects. (Prescriptions for Natural Cures: A Self-Care Guide for Treatment).

How to use passionflower tea as a home remedy treatment for anxiety, mood swings and stress?

It is best to take 250 mg or 0.5 ml two or three times daily for best results. You can moderate your intake as needed. Also be mindful that passionflower relaxes your nerves and is gentle enough to be used during the day.
