Others find their “salvation” in various energy practices. The purpose of these funds is to normalize the functioning of the central nervous system.

At home, to calm the nerves, you can use both pharmacological agents and various folk methods that do not have side effects.

Stress not only deprives us of our ability to work and the ability to think adequately

There are several medicinal groups, which include drugs that have a positive effect on the nervous system. Their use in a state of stress allows you to quickly calm down and relax. For nervous tension, drugs from the tranquilizer category are most often used. Medicines included in this drug group help reduce anxiety and calm you down. The disadvantage of tranquilizers is the risk of side effects and addiction. Because of this feature of such medications, they are not recommended to be taken for an extended period of time.

Among the tranquilizers, the following medications should be highlighted:

• "Atarax";
• "Lorazepam."

Medications with sedative effects are also used as sedatives. Preparations from this group are made based on plant components or bromine. They have a mild effect and rarely cause side effects. In this group of medicines the following should be highlighted:

• "Barboval";
• "Valerian".

Use of folk remedies

You can calm your nerves and relieve stress at home with the help of self-prepared decoctions and infusions based on medicinal herbs.

For many centuries, such herbs, due to their medicinal properties, have been used in the treatment of various diseases. Below we present the most popular traditional medicine methods. Mint tincture.

Mint has gained well-deserved fame as one of the means to calm the nerves. A healing infusion can be prepared from the leaves of this dried plant. To prepare, you will need to mix a tablespoon of raw materials with one glass of hot water. The liquid should be infused for about forty minutes. You need to take the medicine twice a day. In its healing properties, chamomile is in no way inferior to mint. Based on this medicinal plant, you can make a tea that calms your nerves. For one tablespoon of raw material, two hundred milliliters of hot water is used. It will take about half an hour for the decoction to infuse completely. Before using the product, the liquid must be filtered.

Stress is a disease of modern man. This is the body’s way of adapting to negative environmental factors.

Products that calm your nerves

It has been scientifically proven that a properly composed diet can prevent the development of many nervous diseases. In the case of emotional stress, bad mood and ordinary fatigue, doctors recommend adding foods containing Omega-3 acid to your diet. They improve metabolism and block the synthesis of cytokines - elements that provoke the development of depressive disorder. Most Omega-3 acids are found in sea fish.

Vitamin K contained in spinach leaves increases the amount of hormones in the body that are responsible for resistance to stress and good mood. Natural honey has a similar effect. In addition to all of the above, it contains elements that nourish cells and reduce the excitability of nerve fibers. Many experts recommend eating as many citrus fruits as possible. They contain ascorbic acid, which regulates cortisol levels. According to scientists, even the process of peeling an orange helps reduce the stimulation of nerve receptors.

You can reduce stress hormone levels with dark chocolate. It contains those components that increase the level of dopamine, which is responsible for relaxation. In addition, it contains tryptophan, which is responsible for a good mood.

Stuck on your head

The ancient Greeks called the hippocampus a monster with the body of a horse and a fish tail. Nobody saw him, but everyone was tense because of him. Every now and then they returned halfway - to check if the fish horse had climbed into the house, if it had poisoned the wine, if it had stolen the children... Does this remind you of anything?

The hippocampus stores the memory of habitual actions: turning off the lights, turning off the tap, unplugging the plug from the socket, locking the door, setting the apartment and car alarms... The brain automates repeating rituals so that we are not distracted by the unimportant. He insures us: if at least one of the points is missed, an alarm goes off... But the anxiety disappears as soon as the problem is eliminated. And this is the main difference between ordinary anxiety and pathological anxiety.
It’s bad when the internal alarm goes off for no reason. And you, having reached the first floor, go back to your place on the 11th floor - see if the water is flowing from the tap, if the light is on in the hallway, if the door lock is in order... And you repeat this again and again until the anxiety subsides . It doesn't matter how many times you come back, two or twenty. The very fact of these returns and that feeling of unaccountable anxiety that forces you to scurry back and forth should be alarming. This means that the problem has moved from a purely emotional plane to a medical one, turning into a neurosis of obsessive states, actions and thoughts.

In disrepair

Obsessive thoughts force you to simulate in your head a series of disasters that could happen to you and your loved ones. You don’t think about good things, even when the plot is quite positive. If there is a wedding, it will certainly involve an accident on the way to the registry office (or simply the shameful absence of the groom). If there is a birth, then you “know” in advance that the baby will be replaced or the doctor will not show up on time... By the way, every third of the expectant mothers checks with an ultrasound not the gender of the baby, but whether all of his fingers are in place. Where do such wild ideas come from? From increased anxiety. As it grows, it entails depression and fears...
Usually, emotional girls with imagination, that is, with a dominant right hemisphere of the brain, are sucked into the funnel of catastrophic thinking. Left-hemisphere people do not imagine horror films: their imagination is rather weak. Due to their rational mindset, their anxiety and worry takes the form of painful doubts. The girl says “yes” and immediately begins to doubt her choice. Cancels the decision and confirms it again. Measures seven times and never cuts. He writes down the pros and cons in a column, takes tests, tosses a coin, but cannot decide. Should I wear a blue blouse or a pink one? Go to the movies with Sasha from IT or Pasha from PR? As soon as he chooses, he immediately begins to feel anxiety: what if he is wrong? This is a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Chew, don't worry

To drown out your fear, you do the most ridiculous actions: for example, you only stand on your right foot or walk only on light-colored floor tiles. From the same series are supposedly rational repeated checks of locks, taps, windows, calls to the nanny (whether the children are alive) or the boyfriend (whether he was hit by a car). But long before these problems appear, you can catch yourself making gestures that are harbingers of neurosis.

You endlessly straighten your hair or wrap it around your finger. You walk back and forth across the room. You tap your fingers on the table. You bite the tip of a pencil... Repeated actions calm you down. Wonderful! Bring them to a conscious level. Satisfy the need for monotonous movements, and you will have a chance to defeat the oncoming neurosis on your own. Walk up and down the stairs, spend an hour on a step machine, pedal a bicycle. Or knit, embroider, weave baubles, put together pictures from puzzles and... work with your jaws! According to scientists, chewing activates cerebral circulation, reducing anxiety. Is this where the almost total habit of stress eating comes from? You don’t want to eat, but move your jaws monotonously. So go ahead, just at least sometimes replace food, for example, with sugar-free chewing gum.

Summing up the balance

From a biochemical point of view, anxiety is the result of an imbalance of hormones: estrogen, serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, adrenaline and norepinephrine, stress hormones. Stress is a natural mechanism that forces you to gather strength and look for a way out of a difficult situation. If there is no way out, the endocrine storm continues to rage, causing severe anxiety. Whether it becomes obsessive or not depends on which hormone predominates - adrenaline or norepinephrine. The first is not as dangerous for the psyche as the second.
Adrenaline junkies may eventually become hypertensive, but they are not in danger of obsessive-compulsive disorder. They love the drive and jump with a parachute, scuba dive, tease dogs and bosses in order to survive the dizzying sense of danger. It occurs at the peak of adrenaline release and quickly fades away. But girls of the norepinephrine type, even in less critical situations, get wedged for a long time. They are afraid of everything: heights, depths, speed, spiders, but they also strive for their portion of the norepinephrine high. Just let them worry. They get turned on because of nonsense, they work themselves up... Norepinephrine is like an energy drink: it causes a surge of energy with a side effect in the form of lingering anxiety. Then anxiety becomes a habit and turns into neurosis.
It is important to get off the norepinephrine needle on time. Go to a psychologist and at least temporarily give up meat and switch to a dairy-vegetable diet. The level of anxiety will immediately decrease: norepinephrine is produced by the adrenal glands based on animal protein. An anxiety attack can be triggered by an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone during ovulation or before menstruation. At this time, almost all girls feel causeless anxiety. Herbal cocktails and breathing exercises will help reduce it.

Twilight. Saga

Hormonal levels change especially dramatically after childbirth. Hence the unreasonable concern for the child’s life. This state is called the twilight of motherhood. You constantly check whether the baby is breathing. You don’t do business, you spend hours at the balcony door where the child sleeps. And you’re afraid to go outside with him: what if the stroller gets run over by a truck or an orbital space station falls on it. The chances are slim, but it's still safer at home! Some cope with this soon after giving birth, while others tremble until retirement. They don’t let the child go even one step away from them, they keep them under a guard - they prevent them from living. The worst is expected every minute...
The worst thing about our worries is that they sometimes materialize. An example of this is the tragedy in the Beckham family. Victoria was going crazy with worry for her sons; she saw kidnappers everywhere. Information about her nightmares leaked to the press gave the criminals the idea to steal the boys. Attempts were made twice. Such a mother's price for neurosis.

NORMAL LIMIT
Try to get your nerves in order using special techniques.

Connect your fingertips in front of your chest - big to big and so on, without your palms touching. Close your eyes, breathe deeply and think about something pleasant for a few minutes. Lower your hands and continue to breathe slowly and deeply. As you inhale, raise the tip of your tongue to the sky, and as you exhale, lower it. Do the exercise for 2-3 minutes, and anxiety will subside.
Breathe in the aromas of anise, orange, sandalwood, rose, incense and ylang-ylang - they pacify anxiety, drive away fears and depressive thoughts.
Stretch your arms forward and relax. Slowly and smoothly spread them apart, as if they were moving apart by themselves. If your hands remain motionless, it means you are too tight. To relieve muscle tension, do a few swings to the sides and in front of your chest, and then try to open them again.
Do you feel sleepy after exercise? This means that the body is experiencing sleep deficiency. And this is an additional source of anxiety. You need to take a little nap.

EVERYTHING IS ON LEVEL

• To increase estrogen levels (and calm down), an hour after breakfast, take 0.4 g of vitamin E, drink a creamy carrot cocktail: 150 g of freshly squeezed carrot juice and 50 g of cream (a week in the middle and at the end of the cycle).

• Prone to obsessive actions: coughing, grunting, rubbing palms, twitching shoulders or head, licking or biting lips, biting nails, etc.
• To protect yourself, do you follow a ritual: for example, always lay out your things and perform actions in a strict order (first put on a blouse, then a skirt and never vice versa)?
• Do you keep records: do you count the steps of the stairs, windows in houses, cars of the same brand?
• Do you keep replaying in your head the dressing-down your boss caused, or the quarrel with your boyfriend?
• Are you overcome by unreasonable anxiety for the health and safety of your loved ones and yourself?
• Are you nervously pacing the room or fiddling with something in your hands?
• There are contrasting thoughts and emotions: everything seems to be fine, but you begin to anticipate all sorts of horrors?
• Do you experience panic attacks - attacks of nausea, palpitations, sweating and trembling, accompanied by severe anxiety for your life?
• Do you smoke?
• Do you constantly chew gum?
• When you worry, does your eyelid or cheek begin to twitch?
• Are you often bothered by hiccups?

TEXT: Irina Kovaleva, psychoneurologist

Quite often the question arises of how to calm nerves, especially among residents of large cities who are susceptible to constant exposure to stressors.

Psychologists and doctors have developed various methods and recommendations.

So you've been exposed to stress: chronic or sudden.

Your nervous system is tense, you cannot sit still, it is likely that you lose your appetite or, conversely, begin to intensively consume high-calorie foods.

Eventually Not only the psyche suffers, but also health in general.

The first thing to understand is that many situations are not worth paying attention to, that is, you will have to learn to calmly react to what is happening. This is not easy, especially when the nervous system is shaken.

Let's think about what you're worried about and is the situation really that serious?? You quarreled with your neighbor - is such a conflict worth worrying about?

A saleswoman in a store was rude to you - just forget about her - it’s her bad mood and her health.

You quarreled with your husband - this is more important, but even here it is worth starting from the reasons that caused it. Try come to a compromise without getting personal.

If you are worried about a loved one or a certain situation, then this problem comes from within, that is, your psyche, soul, consciousness is worried.

How to relieve stress, anxiety and fear?

If you are in a situation of anxiety:

• what you are worried about most likely has not happened yet, so why worry your nervous system in advance;
• think that there are situations that are about to happen, and you cannot do anything about it - so what is the point of worrying about what you cannot change;
• switch yourself to any activity that requires mental work - keep your brain busy;
• do not sit alone, when a person is alone, fears intensify, the company of other people helps to calm down.

A state of intense fear can paralyze your nervous system, mental activity, you think about only one thing - the situation that caused concern.

Try to enlist the support of other people who will help and dispel doubts.

How to restore your psyche?

Mental restoration - Long procces. If possible, go to a psychologist, psychotherapist, and undergo special training.

To recover, you will need as calm an environment as possible. However, there is no need to limit social contacts; on the contrary, communication with other people helps.

What to do:

• take yourself a vacation or a short trip to another city;
• minimize contact with people who evoke negative feelings and memories;
• if you are, leave, do not enter into an argument;
• move more, walk, go swimming, cycling, sign up for horse riding, fitness classes;
• If work is a source of increased stress, think about changing activities.

Most often, our minds are dominated by negative thoughts. We constantly think about preventing bad things from happening, try to predict events, and the result is a vicious circle - negative emotions are even more intensified by unnecessary thoughts.

Teach yourself be positive. It’s not always easy when it seems like everything around you is bad, you’ve been fired from your job, your spouse doesn’t understand. But if you change your way of thinking, you will be surprised how different reality becomes.

Optimists usually do well not because they are lucky and successful people, but because they correctly shape their environment and thoughts.

You are quite capable of coping with nervousness, but you just have to want to switch your psyche to a more positive mode of operation.

How to calm down at home?

At home you have to be nervous quite often: you quarreled with your husband, your child ruined your new jacket, the faucet broke, the neighbors are in the way - there are many reasons.

Remember- every situation that causes nervousness affects your health. However, you may well learn to cope with stress and become more resilient.

1. Remove exposure to adverse factors. If you are nervous about a conflict, try to resolve it calmly and peacefully. If the cause of your worries is other people, then understand that you are not responsible for what happens to them and cannot always influence the situation.
2. Turn off the TV, don't watch negative news, don't read it on the Internet. Events in the outside world can also adversely affect our nervous system, especially if you are overly sensitive.

   It’s better to turn on relaxing or pleasant music without tragic events.

3. Drink a glass of clean, cool water in small sips.
4. Go out into the fresh air - a balcony or street.
5. Close your eyes, meditate - calmly and deeply inhale and exhale, focus your attention on the breathing process to make it easier to get rid of extraneous thoughts.
6. If you have exercise equipment at home - do pull-ups on the bar, hit a punching bag - this way you actively get rid of stress hormones.

Stop overthinking and worrying about everything.

The world is so beautiful that there is no need to waste energy on trifles.

We can't please everyone. If we displease our spouse - there are two options here:

• we really do something wrong, and then we can simply change the behavior;
• we are not obliged to meet the expectations of other people, and we have the right to live as we think is right - in this case, too, you should not worry, but simply build your life in accordance with your own desires.

Remember that it is you who control your nervous system, not other people and circumstances.
