Natural remedies for public speaking fears
I often get asked if there are any remedies for public speaking fears. What kind of pills or medications are available? What herbs or foods can help reduce the fear of public speaking? However, such questions are really clutching at straws. Yes, certain foods and drinks can make you feel more relaxed. True, there is some evidence that aromatherapy with lavender oil, for instance, can help you feel better. But they don't get rid of the fear completely. Herbs, foods, and alternative therapies may help, but in my experience they have limited impact. The thing that has the most impact is physical activity, which is one of the natural remedies for public speaking fears. All you need to do is get plenty of physical activity prior to your speech and make sure you move around a lot during the speech. Podiums, fixed microphones, standing next to computers to click the slides on - these are all things which will make you more nervous, not less, because they reduce physical activity. Thousands of people who have followed my programme for abolishing the fear of public speaking report that the single most important natural remedy they followed was physical activity.
