Natural Ways For Dealing With Anxiety
Anxiety is a reaction often associated with stress, illness, or even treatment. During an anxiety attack, a person feels overwhelming nervousness, tension, fear, forgetfulness, and panic.

Overcoming Touch Deprivation
From the time you were a newborn how well you thrived depended in large part by how much you were lovingly touched.

Is Your Food Stressing You Out?
Im in a continual state of alert regarding so-called cures for stress, depression and anxiety. I want to be aware of any new breakthroughs that happen and I also want to be equally aware of new solutions that simply offer false hope.
