Homeopathic: kali phos.
Theanine is the best.
Exercise is a great way to deal with anxiety. Also, anxiety is about the future and some fear of the unknown in the future. Think about centering on the present and ask yourself if anything bad is happing “right now” in the moment. We can’t control that moment in the future that hasn’t happened.
Acupuncture might be a good option for you but find a qualified licensed provider who has experience treating mild to moderate anxiety.
There are many options to treat anxiety natural way including acupuncture, homeopathy, dietary supplements, and hypnosis. Sometimes Reiki is highly effective. For more information, read here: https://philaholisticclinic.com/natural-remedies-for-anxiety-and-depression/
Nutrition & Psychology is emerging showing much promise in addressing the burden associated with mental & mood disorders. The quality of one's' diets is related to one's risk for common mental disorders, such as anxiety disorders & depression. Check your diet; remove the nutrient-void foods & increases your consumption of fruits & veggies.
There are various natural approaches taken to treat anxiety. I like to run speciality labs and treat with herbs, homeopathy, and address nutrient deficiencies. Part of my protocol also includes craniosacral therapy for most patients.
Hello and thank you for reaching out. We are all going through so much right now that many are really struggling extra with their anxiety. Without knowing your medical background or if you are on any current medications, I don't feel comfortable suggesting supplements. However, generally speaking, we can manage our anxiety by engaging in activities that fall within 3 categories:

- Mind: Turning off tv and social media at least 30 minutes before bed time and read a positive, light, book or take time to write in a journal or draw.

- Body: Around bedtime, take a nice shower or bath, have some caf-free tea of your choice (if you like tea), Then, engage in some gentle yoga and purposeful breathing - YouTube has lots of awesome videos you can follow along with. Nothing crazy, just gentle, easy stretching and breathing.

- Soul: You are a soul having a human experience! Remember that! Take time before bed, as you are falling asleep, to meditate on what you are thankful for and all the blessings in your life. It sounds cliche, but, meditation has been clinically shown to reduce stress and anxiety significantly.

I hope those suggestions are helpful. Please do not be afraid to reach out to your GP if you feel you are really struggling. Realize that you are not alone and that you are here for a purpose :) Hang in there!
