Natural anxiety relievers?

Answer 1

Good suggestions here already, but perhaps I could add:

Herbs: passionflower, hops, camomile, baical skullcap, oatstraw, motherwort. This last plant is known for its nurturing effect, although in Florida might be hard to find. Its Latin name is leonurus cardiaca, so its slight beneficial effect on blood pressure and on heart palpitations has been known since ancient times.

I'll add valerian with a special note: it's generally used for insomnia or anxiety, but it has a counter-effect with a small minority of people - it speeds them up instead of calming them. So if you try valerian I'd try it alone, not in any combination, so you can determine whether you belong to the majority or the minority group.

To nourish the adrenal glands, which in turn will permit one to tolerate stress better: oatstraw and nettles. Nettles as in stinging nettles. One of the most beneficial herbs in the plant kingdom. Contrary to its common name, plant has a slightly sweet flavour. Chock full of vitamins & minerals, more than spinach or broccoli.

One can usually find combinations of these herbs in tea preparations or in tincture form. If you get to Washington state you can probably find wild nettles growing in the countryside, or someone who knows how to find & harvest them. Make nettle soup, as north Europeans did for centuries in the spring - it perked them up after long winters without fresh veggies.

Flower essences: in addition to Rescue Remedy, there's also mustard flower essence (for grief) and bleeding heart flower essence (mourning something that's lost).

Would you have time to try yoga? Or even just to read Yoga Journal in a library, it's inspiring to read about people practising yoga to grow their minds and spirits as well as their bodies.
