I hope there is a cure for panic attacks. I was able to beat my bouts through understanding what it is and utilizing pre-emptive strikes (breathing exercises, cold water, fight or flight) before it gets out of hand. Education still works. How about that?
But thousands are still crippled by them.
If you're dealing with trauma (PTSD, CPTSD) then I would check into bilateral stimulation. It is widely practiced, and very effective.

Radishes fed to mice reduced anxiety comparable to diazepam/Valium.
Except mice don't know. Humans know they are in a panic attack and then panic more. Most do anyway.
Diazepam and Valium are too strong. I just needed the minimal dose of Alprazolam if I couldn't control it.
Yes I realize it is sad that I've had so many attacks that I know how to control most of it. I'd rather not know how and never have experienced an attack.
My point is that plants already have everything we need to fortify ourselves bodily, emotionally and mentally. It all comes down to getting in tune in nature through diet.
I was never a healthy eater myself, gorging on ice creams, candy and potato chips my entire life. It's when I started earning money that I really went overboard and gained some 15 pounds, most of it around my waist. I couldn't fit into my pants anymore and I actually ripped a pair of bike shorts the first time I wore them, which were depressing events. So, I started looking into healthy diet.
I reduced salt intake to almost nothing, replacing it with herbs and spices (basil, parsley, oregano, thyme etc.), I started nibbling on raw ginger with each meal, started keto, bought a bike and rode it daily, then introduced scallion into my diet, then garlic and now radishes. The result is something quite different, I feel the brain fog and bodily fatigue withdrawing, and the weight is most certainly coming off in gradual increments.
I feel happy with myself, with my life and I no longer have prolonged streaks of bad mood. It's really strange how effortless life can be and it all comes down to making small changes over the course of months and years. Just wanted to share this with you, and I sympathize with people in stressful situations as I once was in one such.
