Personally I have tried EFT and have found it to be useful as well as medication, but I really think that the technique used depends on a persons circumstances and health.

As a medical doctor, I agree with this statement. Naturopathic medicines are alluring because they promise to be natural. But natural doesn't always mean good, effective, or without harm. I think for mild and non-emergent conditions where natural remedies are unlikely to cause further harm, they are a viable option. The placebo effect also helps to control symptoms: patients note improvement in their symptoms because they believe the remedy is working. However, as you say, for severe cases I would recommend leaning on thoroughly tested medicines whose efficacy, toxicity, and side effect profile are well known. A panic attack, for example, is one of the worst feelings someone can have, and in that case, rapid relief is unlikely to be achieved by natural remedies alone.Yvonne Monique wrote: ↑08 Oct 2020, 06:37 There are many alternative medicines/therapies that one can try. For mild cases, I am convinced that these can work. However, for severe anxiety I would never recommend somebody to refuse conventional medicine and only try natural remedies, as this might not be enough.
