Natural - Herbal Remedies For Anger and Mood Swings?

Question

Hello Everybody,

I have recently quit smoking, my one month anniversary is on Thursday. I have two small children (3 years old, and 8 months old) - I've found that my mood and relative anger spikes at times now that my body is baron of the nicotine that it is used to having.

I have used all of the energy and focus I have to NOT show my anger, emotions, mood spikes to my children. I've been successful probably 95% of the time harboring my mood swings internally, and not showing them to my little ones.

Here is the problem: It's really caused an issue for my wife, and I. We are a loving couple, we're really best friends... But I've had a hard time controlling my little out-bursts. I give angry looks, grit my teeth... I don't "snap", or freak out by any means.. But she expressed concern to me that I'm less myself, and she worries that his is the "New Frank" -- This is not okay with me.

Are there any NON DRUG remedies that anybody knows of that help suppress anger or mood swings?

Answer 1

Omega 3 oils may help.  My sons psychiatrist has him take fish oils to help with the mood swings of Bipolar Disorder.  I started to take it with him (the doc said it would be fine), so he would take his.  I noticed that it did help me be a little more calm and not as volatile.  I take flax oil now, because of the whole fish and mercury situation.  I do take 2 to 3 times the dosage listed on the label, with doctors okay.  I have also heard that St. John's Wort is helpful for depression, and the anger spikes could also be a symptom of depression.  I haven't used it myself, so I can't vouch yes or no.

Answer 2

Something that works really well is inhaling the essential oil Ylang Ylang.  It diffuses anger wonderfully well.  Another thing that helps during this transitional time (which will pass, trust me) is vigorous exercise.  The increase in endorphins and oxygen will ease stress and promote calm.

Answer 3

I've heard St. John's Wort is good for stress and mood swings.

Answer 4

Your body needs to be cleansed from all the toxins that throug smoking and other things that are in it. Its safe and natural and you will probably lose weight  and feel alot better to boot.

I highly recommend reading the book by Kevin Trudeau called "Natural Cures They Don t Want You to Know About - and follow the plan in there.

All diseases are caused by high level of toxins that we are putting in to our bodies through food , pollution, dyes ,chemicals etc. and an overgrowth of bad yeast.

Go to a health food store and do some whole body cleansing , liver cleanse, colon cleanse, kidney and liver cleanse , eat only ORGANIC food.

Read the book. The writer had cancer and cured it. The FDA has been trying to sue him because he is exposing them.
