Review
Summary |
Traditional systems of healing from ancient cultures of the East have been popular in the United States since the 1960’s. People who are dissatisfied with traditional Western or allopathic medicine have turned toward the East seeking its clandestine wisdom and mind/body systems of wellness. Many patients/practitioners discover an enduring feeling of health and higher states of consciousness in the herbs, chants, meditation and yoga poses of the Buddhist, Hindu and Jain religious traditions.
In a world so violent and unpredictable, symptoms of anxiety and anxiety –related health issues are being reported at an all time high. Instead of learning coping skills or participating in some kind of cognitive behavioral therapy many consumers are electing to self-medicate with herbal, homeopathic, and natural, supplements that are easy enough to find in the saturated, anonymous marketplace of the world wide web. It is not proven if this solution is beneficial in either the short- or long-term for people who suffer from feelings of anxiety, panic, and distress.
Anxiety Support from Tibetan Healing Herbs, whose product Happiness Support has been previously reviewed here, will be examined in this review. According to the text on their web site “It brings coolness to the mind to relieve mental agitation, tension in the chest, and anxiety-related dyspnea (labored respiration)”.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
|
Anxiety Support blends are advertised to contain: Red sandalwood and Spondias axillaris in “careful” proportions with nine other regular and “rare” authentic herbs

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
Red Sandalwood - Pterocarpus santalinus - from India, available in chipped or powdered form, is primarily used as a base ingredient and combustion agent for making incense sticks and cones. According to a website for Wiccan’s and alchemists, “his herb is still popular in Ayurvedic medicine and has recently been shown to have analgesic properties. It is sometimes recommended for indigestion, although there is no evidence of its effectiveness. It is also used--again without scientific validation--to flush excess water from the body, dry and tighten the skin, purify the blood, and relieves coughs. In Asian medicine, it's prescribed for headache, toothache, skin diseases, and vomiting, and in India is sometimes taken for diabetes.
We were unable to find the only other disclosed ingredients, Spondias axillaris anywhere on the World Wide Web.

Traditional Tibetan Helaing’s website advertises that “It also addresses problems such as dryness of the mouth and tongue, upper back pain and forgetfulness.” This natural remedy’s formulation process is vast and unique with herb blending criteria such as the beneficial healing properties, the six basic tastes, the eight potencies, the seventeen effects and other herb collection criteria.
Anxiety Support may aid in one’s ability to find relief from mental agitation and the physical symptoms associated with panic disorders, such as dizziness and tightness of the chest, however, we do not feel that sufficient evidence is presented, and no free trial is offered.

| Final Thoughts |
|
It is difficult to feel completely confident about Traditional Tibetan Healing’s product Anxiety Support. The marketing language employed on the company’s website certainly appeals to many Americans who enjoy and have found to be beneficial other imports from Eastern religion and philosophy. Practicing yoga, or a martial art, reading the Tao Te Ching or the Tibetan Book of the Dead may bring a sense of inner calm to the practitioner, this is certain. But blindly trusting in a supplement whose obscure ingredients have not been proven effective is never advised.
A fully conscious consumer will continue to research all available products and must ultimately settle on one that suits his mind, body and heart. A supplement that contains safe, natural, researchable ingredients, such as ones that contains Lithium Orotate should be considered.
