Anxiety

Herbs can help with anxiety in a variety of ways. Some herbs have a calming effect on the nervous system and can help reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. Other herbs have been shown to have a positive impact on mood and can help to improve overall mental well-being.

Some examples of herbs that may be helpful for anxiety include:

• Passionflower: This herb has been traditionally used to help with anxiety, nervousness and insomnia. It can work by increasing levels of a neurotransmitter called GABA, which helps to promote a feeling of calm.
• Lemon Balm: This herb has been shown to help reduce anxiety and improve mood.

• Kava: This herb has been traditionally used in the Pacific Islands to help with anxiety, stress and insomnia.

It’s important to note that it’s best to talk to a healthcare professional before taking any herbs, especially if you are taking other medications. Some herbs may interact with medications or have other side effects.
