What is a good home remedy for a panic attack?
Massage of the neck and throat is said to help ease panic attacks as these areas are often tense during the attacks. However, it’s important to be careful to massage gently on one side of the neck and throat and not both sides at once. Too aggressive massaging on both sides may cause unconsciousness if the massaging interferes with blood flow.
Dietary changes that include avoiding caffeine in beverages such as soda, tea and coffee are often said to help reduce the likelihood of a panic attack. Some people think that panic attacks may be caused by dietary deficiencies such as a lack of B-complex vitamins, calcium or magnesium. Be sure to discuss this with a doctor or qualified nutritionist before taking extra vitamins or minerals.
Some panic attack sufferers have noted that self-talking techniques can help reduce the severity of the attacks. For example, during an attack, the sufferers tell themselves that, yes, they are having an attack, but it will be all right. The idea that they can experience the attack, yet know they will be all right after it seems to help some panic attack sufferers feel more calm and in control.
good luck and learn to relax:)

Do you mean a really bad case of nerves? I can’t think of anything you can consume but just calm down and "talk" yourself out of it. Relax, concentrate on your breathing, visualize what ever is bringing on this attack as non-existent and break it apart and look at what it is that makes you feel panic-y.
Chamomile and Lavender are known to be relaxing or some lemon tea if your looking for something that isn’t mental.

Honestly the Paper Bag option isn’t as useful as one thinks. So avoid that.
Best advice I can give is going for a walk, outside and around the block, down the street. Take someone with you, because they will be a good distraction from your panic attack plus the walk will get your blood moving and help regulate your breathing. You will need to give yourself about half an hour outside.
And once you have came home a little calmer, drink a cup of hot chamomile tea, it is a natural relaxant and works wonders if you are having trouble getting to sleep.
I use these methods myself, and they work really well.
Good luck and take care,
Always MissLith
