I use essential oils, especially frankincense and a blend called "valor" that has lots of calming oils. Also, one of the best things for my anxiety is getting good sleep and having a sleep schedule.

I did functional medicine for about 8 months, it ended up being a huge waste of money and didn’t even remotely help me. The most useful thing they recommended was checking my cortisol levels, which ended up being really low, and we got me off one of my meds because of it. The diet they recommended also helped with pain, but I could have found the diet on my own (paleo). I’m sure for some conditions and individuals it’s more helpful but for me it wasn’t worth it at all.

So I didn’t do any supplements but I went and saw a Buddhist meditation teacher and it truly changed my life for the bette. Learning how to really mediate with a teacher is such a different experience than using any of the apps like headspace an stuff like that. I’ve found myself having so many more peaceful days now- I have been panic attack free for 4 months :)

Strong ginger tea, really helped my throat, when I was sick with a sore throat.
