Herbal Remedies for Anxiety – Stress-free Herbal Cures

Studies on the use of alternative medicine have revealed effective herbal remedies for anxiety that are capable of relieving stress, tension, and unwanted fear. Below are common herbal remedies for anxiety which have gained recognition for the past decades:

Passion flower (or Passiflora incarnata) – cure for insomnia and historically been used as a sedative. It can ease “nervous” gastrointestinal complaints, and is believed to be able to reduce nervous tremors and lower high blood pressure.

Lavender (or Lavandula augustifolia) – is a general tonic for the nervous system and is well-known for its calming properties, making it among the most effective of natural panic attack and anxiety herbal remedies.

Lemon Balm (or Melissa Officinalis) – used as a restorative for the nervous system, calms the digestive system, and reduces blood pressure.

Catnip (Nepeta Cataria) – has a soothing effect and relieves anxiety. It has sharp fragrance and is attractive and exciting to cats, which enjoy eating catnip.

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) – relieves gastrointestinal problems and is used widely in Italy as an aromatic condiment and as a medicine.

Kava – is an herbal remedy that helps minimize anxiety. Kava Tincture or capsule is made from the dried roots and rhizome of a bush of the pepper.

Hop (Humulus lupulus) – has a bitter flavor and aroma. It is used as a sedative and causes a relaxing effect on the nervous system.

Motherwort (Leonurus) – has rather a pungent odor and a very bitter taste. Nonetheless, it helps stabilize emotions and has a calming effect.

Skullcap – is also called helmet flower for the shape of the flowers, which look like a knight’s helmet with the visor up. It’s tincture or capsules help relax and nourish the nervous system and induce sleep.

Saint John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) – commonly used as alternative medicine for the treatment of mild depression. The flowers of the plant have been used for centuries to heal skin wounds and treat depression, anxiety, and insomnia.

Valerian shrub (Valeriana officinalis) – is cultivated as an ornamental; its roots are the source of a sedative drug. Its calming effect helps anxiety and relieves people with insomnia.

Evidence may differ depending on the supplement and the anxiety disorder; however, the use of these herbal remedies for anxiety can collaborate in developing dietary supplement strategies that minimize health risks and maximize benefits to well-being.
