"Eczema is a topic that hits close to home for me—born and raised with arms and legs smothered in steroid creams and endless itch. My mother had no choice at the time; few alternative treatments were offered. I remember the stinging, the scratching until I bled, especially during every sports season when shin guards and sweat made my legs erupt in pain. As I entered adulthood, the frequency of flare-ups eased, but the condition quietly lingered.

It wasn’t until college—when my stomach started to revolt—that I discovered something meaningful. After major dietary shifts, I saw a full clearing of my symptoms. At the time, I didn’t realize that the science of eczema, food sensitivities, and the gut-skin connection was catching up..."

Natural Awakenings Charlotte

Anxiety can show up in many forms: racing thoughts, insomnia, irritability, digestive issues, or even chronic pain. Traditional treatments often focus on symptom management through medication or cognitive therapy, but they may fail to uncover why your body is reacting this way in the first place.

Anxiety isn’t just mental—it’s often a physiological reaction to an internal imbalance. In my clinical experience, addressing these imbalances is where true healing begins.

Read Dr. Boyd's most recent blog to learn the 5 most common root causes of anxiety.

It’s normal to feel anxious before big life events, but anxiety may become a disorder when symptoms occur most days for several months, interfere with daily life, or feel out of proportion to the situation. Early recognition and management—through natural approaches, lifestyle strategies, or professional care—can significantly improve well-being.

Conventional medications such as SSRIs and SNRIs are often effective, but they can come with side effects like fatigue, sexual dysfunction, or weight changes. Natural, evidence-based approaches—like lavender, ashwagandha, rhodiola, and mindfulness—offer safe, research-supported ways to reduce anxiety symptoms and support long-term stress resilience. Learn more about the research and statistics backing up natural options to help anxiety in Dr. Birch's newest blog:

Anxiety affects over 30% of adults at some point in their lives, making it one of the most common mental health challenges worldwide. It affects both the mind and body, and symptoms can vary widely from person to person. Understanding the signs can help you recognize when anxiety is becoming more th...
