This paper:
Shevchuk N.A. Hydrotherapy as a possible neuroleptic and sedative treatment. Medical Hypotheses. 2008, vol. 70, issue 2, pp. 230-238.
This idea has not been tested in clinical trials, but in my own experience a lengthy (head-out) hot shower or bath, to the point that it makes you tired and sweaty, seems to have a strong sedative effect. |

Looks like exposure to cold may work just as well for patients with anxiety:
