Yoga and meditation are very effective. I believe that's why they were featured in this book. If combined with eating healthy foods, they can be a perfect regimen.

I definitely think it depends on the severity of the stress/anxiety. For minor issues, I feel that natural remedies may work just fine. I've seen a lot of people who regularly do yoga, breathing exercises, other workouts, and eat healthy, all of which they claim significantly helps them deal with their stress as their bodies feel generally more fit and cleansed. But, as others have also stated here, when the stress and anxiety become intense and hard to control, medication and seeing professionals is definitely the safest and most effective way to go (paired with the natural options).

I believe the point you have raised is right. Natural remedies don't always seem helpful like during times of insomnia. I believe natural and traditional medication systems go hand-in-hand.

Totally, anxiety and stress and stress affect each of us differently so, the medication should work differently on us too. Some will be cured just by natural remedies while some need to take medication or a combination of the two. It totally comes down to what works on you at the end of the day.

Yes, however deep and insightful it may be, no medical book can replace a real expert on medicine. That is why we have professionals in different fields who guide us regarding the topic. A book is something you gain knowledge from. But if you do not have the experience, it may be difficult to deal with.

Yeah, I like the part of the book where the author gives a detailed guide on why the commonly used medicine for anxiety "Xanax" is addictive. It has which acts as a bеnzоdiаzерinе trаnquilizеr, a сеntrаlnеrvоuѕ
ѕуѕtеm dерrеѕѕаnt which can be addictive. So natural remedies are preferred over these by some people as they are terrified of the side effects caused by Xanax.

Yes, true I think everyone must keep in mind that we must not overdose anything be it exercise or meditation. And that is why you have gym trainers who help you keep things in check. In case of medication too, we must go for professional help before trying out any medications, as it may have harmful side effects.

Yes, and even after the symptoms of anxiety and stress wear off, I think we should incorporate these into our daily life so that we are able to lead a proper lifestyle. Doing so will prevent the accumulation of such stress in the future.

yes, as the author states in this book, this book is merely a stopgap to help you in certain situations. The advice of a professional should always have ahigher priority than you experimenting on your body.

Yes, like loss of a job can act as source of motivation for one who hated the job and wanted to go for something else. Similarly, it can be a source of depression for others who really needed the job.

There are as many methods as different people are. Trying natural methods for anxiety and stress is a good step forward for those who suffer like that, but I have seen people unwilling to seek professional help and rather solving their problems by isolating themselves or even worse. So one of the major first steps would be admitting having a problem. Second place goes to trying healthy methods and last but not least seek professional help to better understand what is happening and why is it happening now.

Natural remedies are helpful as long as anxiety is not crippling or the depression too severe. I think if you are severely clinically depressed, no amount of yoga or exercise will fully cure you. But they are a great strategy to implement on top of medical help.

Yes in case of severe depression natural remedies are difficult to help you. It depends more on medication or other therapy to help you out it. Some natural remedies may be suggested and advised to be continued even after your depression is cured for prevention further accumulation of stress.

I believe it all ultimately comes down to the mindest of the person that is facing stress and anxiety. If techniques such as "positive thinking " are applied fully without doubt by the patient healing can be achieved without the need for drugs. Then again some cases are so severe that the go-to option is medication. A person should be taught to deal with stress and anxiety without the need for medicine because the day he/she lacks that drug, hell will surely break loose.

I believe that it depends on the person using either method and both traditional medicine and natural medicine can have benefits and consequences. It is up to the person to decide which treatments they should use and what works best for them.
