Herbal Treatment of Anxiety: Clinical Studies in Western, Chinese
and Ayurvedic Traditions explains the nature and types of anxiety,
its neurobiology, the pathophysiology that exacerbates and
perpetuates it, and the psychopharmacology of the chemical agents
that relieve its manifestations. Throughout the text are
discussions of Western, Chinese and Ayurvedic herbal treatments
that have been clinically shown to be effective in relieving
anxiety. The book also features a scientific discussion of the use
of herbs and essential oils in aromatherapy and the mechanisms by
which they may work. The book concludes by providing bases upon
which herbs can be chosen to treat the anxiety of patients
according to their individual needs. Additional features include:
Examines the increasingly popular subject of the use of herbs as a
natural alternative treatment and provides a much-needed scientific
basis for treatments often considered as merely "folk medicine."
Discusses the psychoactive phytochemicals contained in herbs.
Includes a chapter discussing the nature and mechanisms of action
of adaptogens. Adds to the armamentarium of anxiolytics for
providers who have become reluctant to prescribe benzodiazepines as
treatment of anxiety, particularly in the context of the opiate
crisis. Gives an introduction to herbal treatments of traditional
Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Offers practical advice on
initiating and managing herbal treatments. Herbal Treatment of
Anxiety is a valuable reference for psychiatrists, psychiatric
nurse practitioners, primary care providers, naturopathic doctors
and therapists interested in the most current scientific
information on the effects of herbal treatments of anxiety
disorders.
