Natural Remedies for Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) Premenstrual syndrome is that time of the month most women know all too well: bloating, irritability, headaches, wild sugar cravings, crushing fatigue. It typically shows up 7-10 days before menstruation and fades once bleeding begins.

Tourette syndrome, chronic motor or vocal tics, tics following infections (PANDAS) or medication-induced tics require neurological or psychiatric diagnosis. If tics interfere with daily life, school or social relationships, or if they come with OCD, severe anxiety or ADHD, see a specialist.

They are exhausted, unbalanced, with a nervous system in constant alarm. Natural remedies for irritability are particularly effective and work quickly. ...

Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Natural Remedies Guide Generalized anxiety disorder, commonly abbreviated as GAD, is one of the most common mental health concerns in the modern world. Unlike everyday anxiety, which arises as a natural response to a stressful situation and fades once the problem is resolved, GAD is excessive, persistent worry that is hard to control, lasting at least six months and extending across multiple areas of life: work, health, family, money, the future. The mind feels stuck in a loop of negative scenarios, while the body responds with muscle tension, chronic fatigue, digestive issues and insomnia. ...

Natural remedies for sleep paralysis IMPORTANT: Occasional sleep paralysis, once every few months, is considered a benign phenomenon and does not require medical treatment. However, if it occurs frequently (several times a week), is associated with excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden sleep attacks, or muscle weakness triggered by emotions (cataplexy), you need to be evaluated by a sleep medicine physician (polysomnography). These symptoms may indicate narcolepsy or other sleep disorders. The natural remedies below are adjunctive for occasional cases and for optimizing sleep hygiene. ...

Natural Remedies for Hyperventilation Has it ever happened to you that you felt you could not get enough air, even though you were breathing faster and faster? That you were suddenly hit by dizziness, tingling in your fingers, the feeling that you were about to faint?
