There is a growing body of research examining how some complementary and integrative health approaches may reduce anxiety or help people cope with it.  

Some studies indicate that mindfulness-based practices may be as effective as established treatments for managing anxiety symptoms. Yoga may also be helpful for anxiety symptoms, but it's unclear whether it's effective for anxiety disorders. There's evidence that listening to music may help reduce anxiety for people who are having medical procedures. Some studies of hypnosis for anxiety related to medical or dental procedures have also had promising results, but the overall evidence is not conclusive.  

Other complementary approaches that have been studied to a more limited extent include acupuncture, tai chi, and qigong. Additional research involving larger numbers of people is needed before definite conclusions can be reached about whether they are helpful for anxiety.
