Treating Anxiety and Postpartum

Our society has changed in many ways in the last fifty years or so. Traffic, quick paced jobs, less face to face communication and increases in taxes, gas prices, illness and obesity.
One of the main factors affecting our society today is the increase of those suffering with anxiety disorders and illnesses that are related to that. There is also a large amount of women who suffer from Postpartum depression but are never properly treated.
Doctors will give you a few easy answers; Prozac, Paxil, Effexor, Zoloft etc...
I want to offer another option. This option will take about a week to fully take affect, but you will not have the ill side effects of the above mentioned pharmaceuticals. My option is all natural and very easy to follow.
Step 1 is to limit coffee intake to a maximum of 2 cups per day, and preferably none of those after 3pm.
Eat as many fruits and vegetables as possible, and try to take warm showers and/or relaxing baths. Avoid refined sugar and processed white flour (this should be followed by just about everybody in fact).
With breakfast, you will need to supplement with B100 Complex, Ashwaganda and 5-HTP.
With lunch take a regular multi-vitamin.
With supper take either a magnesium or a calcium/magnesium supplement.
45 minutes before bed, take 2 valerian gelcaps.

This may seem like a lot, but here is why it works. This will help keep your stress level down, mood up, a feeling of calm or relaxation will be there, and you will sleep better.

Ashwaganda helps keep you calm, relaxed and helps alleviate anxiety.
5-HTP is the precursor to seratonin, the "make me feel good" hormone.
The Vitamin B complex helps keep your mood up, helps with proper metabolism, and reduces stress.
The multi vitamin will just make sure that you have everything you need.
The magnesium is good for your bones, teeth and helps you feel better.
The valerian will keep you calm, relaxed, and will help you sleep better.

I assure you that this method is worth a try before you try pharmaceuticals.
