Anxiety/Panic natural remedy

Just wanted to leave a quick note in the hope it will help anxiety sufferers. I suffered a terrible attack at a restaurant yesterday and still had really high anxiety the whole of this morning. I had diarrhea for a few times within hours. Usually with food poisoning type of diarrhea, I have used clinical strength probiotics and peppermint tea with great success. But this time, nothing worked and I also started feeling nausea, which made me even more anxious about vomitting. That was how I realised the diarrhea must be anxiety-related. I then used a lavender oil and water spray (1:10000) around my head, neck and chest area to see if this would calm my mind down. To my surprise, it worked practically immediately and all my digestive issues stopped. The lavender oil is Lavandula officinalis/Lavandula angustifolia (or L. angustifolia) which I bought in Paris (from a “herboristerie” in the first arrondisement. I cannot believe I feel so well now after what I went through for so many hours. The oil obviously made me stop panicking and worrying about everything and gave me my calm back. I hope this can help other anxiety sufferers.

I swear by lavender oil as well! Our mind is so powerful so even you thinking it will make things better, it just does! Every pm i spray some lavender night oil and it just relaxes me. Mindfulness and self awareness are key.
