I'll be blunt, panic attacks suck. You'll be glad to know that there are many natural ways that people out there are dealing with their panic attacks without resorting to prescription drugs.
Breathing Techniques Ancient traditions have long used breath-work to stay calm and grounded. Meditation and Yoga are perfect examples. By controlling your breath, you can begin to keep your body from tensing up and your mind from spiraling out of control. Panic attacks usually start with a person's breathing. Quick breathing is usually the first symptom that will spark a full-blown panic attack. Learning to take deep, slow breaths will help to derail the train of events that has the potential to lead to a panic attack.
Herbs and Herbal Teas It is not uncommon for prescription drugs to come with unwelcome side effects. Herbal remedies can often help with panic attacks without the side effects. These often include valerian, passion flower, chamomile, California poppy, kava kava, or lemon balm. You never know what the appropriate dose for you will be. People are different and it may take some time to find the right dose for you.

The Rescue Remedy is used by many to soothe panic and anxiety. Also be on the lookout for Kali Phos 6x which is designed to help with the nervous system. Specifically when it is exhausted from panic or anxiety.
