The Best Crystals for Panic Attacks

Definition: anguish is a phenomenon found in every human culture. It has been examined both through the lens of philosophy, by authors such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Pascal and Heidegger, and through that of psychology, most notably by Sigmund Freud. From the standpoint of psychopathology, anguish is a state of deep unease felt as a sensation of pressure and tightness in the body, accompanied by dread and fears (such as the fear of death) against which the person feels powerless.

The best crystals for calming panic attacks

A panic attack is the acute form this anguish can take: a state of unease marked by intense fear, accompanied by a tightening sensation in the pit of the stomach, pressure on the lungs and heart, sweating, chills or, on the contrary, a feeling of heat. Several crystals are recommended to help fight this condition.

Amethyst

Amethyst is known for its calming properties and its regulating effect on the nervous system (you can read the article on the properties of amethyst to find out more). For this reason it is particularly recommended for calming panic attacks, whether of moderate or excessive intensity.

The following stones are also recommended for fighting this condition.
