Here he offers his holistic approach to healing anxiety and avoiding relapse, with a toolkit that includes foods and plant-basedmedicines, plus anxiety-reducing yoga poses, massage techniques, and acupressure points you can try on your own for lasting relief.Bongiorno also tackles how to safely wean from anti-anxiety medication and how to supplement conventional medications with herbs and other remedies to increase their efficacy and reduce side effects.If you are one of the 40 million Americans with panic attacks, phobias, or other anxiety-related issues limiting your life, or are in close relationship with someone who is, this book will be a lifeline"-- Provided by publisher.
