Nervousness is a specific profound state described by touchiness to improvements and is communicated with signs that the individual might want to stow away or hide. In the event that it is not perceived and paid attention to appropriately, anxiety can turn into an ongoing state. How about we figure out how to quieten apprehension with normal cures?
What Is Nervousness?
Apprehension, stress, nervousness, peevishness: in regular language, these terms are frequently utilized as equivalent words, yet, in all actuality, they allude to altogether different circumstances. Apprehension is a personal state portrayed by an excessive touchiness to encompass upgrades, excessive touchiness which sets off a profound, physical, or conduct reaction surprisingly extreme.
 All the more solidly, when confronted with a surprising occasion or even a tiny hindrance, an anxious individual becomes unsettled and disturbed, has uncontrolled actual responses going from chuckling to crying, stays tense, and has temperament swings. Apprehension ought not to be mistaken for nervousness.Â
In the primary case, there is a. All the more accurately, anxiety is a side effect of fear. See non-existent dangers or amplify existing ones; besides, the condition of anxiety is conquered rapidly as the day passes or because of sound rest. In actuality, an individual is restless without their fundamentally being a trigger: unequivocally, their nervousness spreads the word and restricts the trigger element.Â
Possible Causes
Nervousness can have various causes, mainly linked to an intense lifestyle, which affects the emotional and psychological spheres. The most common reasons are:
- anxiety, stress, panic attacks;
- abuse of psychotropic substances (alcohol, drugs, particular medicines);
- premenstrual syndrome;
- organic dysfunctions, including hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, etc.
SymptomsÂ
Let’s now see in more detail what the symptoms of nervousness are. Often, this state of tension is expressed with manifestations that the person would like to hide or hide but which, for this reason, are more evident: hand tremor, sudden or stereotyped movements, alert eyes, and excessive sweating. The reaction to external stimuli is often excessive, and the person tends to “snap” at the slightest sign, und or noise, or contact from others, even bursting into laughter or tears. Other times, excessive nervousness triggers seemingly unmotivated attacks of anger.
The Consequences
A constant state of nervousness and irritability, in the long run, can compromise physical and mental well-being in several ways. Reverberating on the body, in fact, tension causes symptoms such as tachycardia, hyperventilation, and palpitations. Furthermore, especially in predisposed people, it can manifest itself at a gastrointestinal level with irritable bowel syndrome, stomach acid, abdominal cramps, poor digestion, and gastritis.
Establishing a link between hiatal hernia and nervousness is not immediate: in itself, in fact, Hiatal hernia is a clinical condition, but it is also true that the symptoms of esophageal reflux tend to worsen if the person experiences a phase of stress. A constant state of nervousness can also compromise the quality of sleep. And when hours of sleep are scarce or are not of satisfactory quality, the body pays the consequences in many ways.
For example, energy and memory decline, concentrating and making decisions become more complex. Finally, there are the social consequences: a nervous person tends to be abrupt and hasty, has an emphatic gesture, and can, therefore, appear rude or unnatural. Interlocutors, especially those with whom there is a relationship of little confidence, can thus easily reach wrong conclusions.
Nervousness During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a highly delicate period. Regardless of the circumstances that led to the pregnancy itself, and even assuming that it was a conscious and fully supported choice, the future mother finds herself grappling with profound physical changes and hormonal fluctuations, with the need to make choices and face uncertainty.
The narrative that this phase of life is idyllic, therefore, is a partial simplification. Nervousness, mood swings, and moments of anxiety are normal and, indeed, inevitable. However, if they pass the warning level, it is a good idea to ask for help from your partner, your reference figures, and possibly a healthcare professional.Â
Premenstrual Nervousness
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a set of emotional and physical symptoms that many women experience starting a week before the onset of menstruation due to hormonal fluctuations. It is not a rule but rather a very subjective condition:
- For some women, it is non-existent.
- For others, it is occasional.
- For still others, it proves to be very burdensome.
Among the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome are nervousness, mood swings, increased appetite, anxiety, tension, and fatigue. As a rule, these manifestations disappear spontaneously once menstruation ends. Â
Nervousness In Children
Nervousness in children can disorientate parents because it manifests itself with sudden outbursts of anger for reasons that, from the outside, appear dull and incomprehensible. Two years is the age from which the child starts saying “no” because it is the first way to affirm one’s individuality. Paradoxically, the parents are the first recipients of episodes of sudden nervousness because they are considered the “haven” that can never be questioned.
The parent does not have the task of repressing the emotions of his child nor, on the contrary, to indulge any of his whims. As difficult as it may sometimes seem, the right thing to do is to understand the reason for the outburst (which is often not the one explained by the child) and find the right strategy to defuse it.Â
But how do you calm nervousness immediately? The parent, by virtue of her role, must show that he always has the situation under control. He should, therefore, let the child vent safely without worrying about what passers-by or any third parties think, remaining nearby and offering him a hug if he shows that he likes physical contact>. During the tantrum, the child is frightened by his actions. If the parent reacts with equal enthusiasm, he only risks making things worse because he adds worry to worry
Natural Remedies
One of the first strategies to mitigate nervousness is to eliminate – or at least significantly limit – exciting substances such as coffee and alcohol and the implications of abuse. Among the phytotherapeutic remedies for nervousness, we can mention:
- the lime bud extract (Tilia tomentosa) in drops
- the passiflora (Passiflora incarnata) in drops, herbal tea, or capsules
- the valerian (Valeriana officinalis), with its soothing properties
- the chamomile (Matricaria recutita), known for its spasmolytic and calming properties
- The hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna, Crataegus legivaga, or oxyacantha) has hypotensive and calming action
Those who feel the need for drops to calm nervousness can use Bach flowers, including:
- Rock Rose is considered capable of freeing the person from paralysis caused by feelings of solid fear, anguish, terror, and panic
- Aspen, because it also helps keep thoughts of death and imminent catastrophes at bay, promoting relaxation
- Clematis, which helps you stay concentrated and focused on the moment, especially when nervousness is accompanied by distractionÂ
- Mimulus and Cherry Plum in the anxieties caused by fears due to objective reasons, which, however, take on unmanageable proportions, as in the case of an excessive and uncontrollable fear of flying by planeÂ
- Rescue Remedy, which gives calm and serenity and rebalances internal energies in stressful situations
Oils
Those who want to experiment with aromatherapy for nervousness have various essential oils available. Lavender oil is widely used in aromatherapy as it is very versatile, relaxes the body, and is used in the diffuser, mixed with water or other vegetable oils, or in the bathtub (5 to 10 drops). This oil is formidable: more than helpful in cases of chronic nervousness, nervous system disorders, restlessness and insomnia, asthma, dizziness, headaches of nervous origin, premenstrual agitation, and during the cycle.
The essential oil of sweet orange relaxes muscular tension, facilitates digestion, fights intestinal stagnation and meteorism, counteracts states of stress-related tiredness, and helps sleep. Jasmine essential oil dissolves emotional blocks, mainly those linked to the sexual and sentimental sphere. It speaks to the hormonal system and is, therefore, very effective against premenstrual syndromes.
Exercises
Breathing is the immediate remedy in case of nervousness. Inhaling and exhaling, trying to prolong the two moments as much as possible but without forcing too much, brings us back to a less altered state. Those who practice yoga can also learn specific pranayama techniques. Laughter yoga is also beneficial for giving relief to the heart and relieving tension.
In case of nervousness, it is also of great help to massage some points on your body, as indicated in traditional Chinese medicine. With the thumb of your right hand, you can massage the center of the palm of your left hand in a circular motion for about two minutes. After that, the message is repeated with the opposite hand. Another technique is to press with the index finger, for five minutes, the point located between the two eyebrows: practicing a little strength in the pressure, the benefit will be immediate.
