Oh I see XD
She's just showing love in a weird way. Probably.
I am procrastinating honestly, I have to do my taxreturns and I am so not wanting to do all the financial crap. ugh. I am an artist not a money man.
But I did need to release some tension and stress. I can't handle as much as I used to. Any good herbs for that?
Heh, possibly! Ah, yes tax returns. It has to be done, eventually but make sure you do it before the deadline.
Valerian Root
Valerian is commonly used as a sleep aid for insomnia which can often be caused by anxiety, as you may well know. Valerian root is a natural remedy for anxiety. Mostly taken in pill form due to its questionable smell, valerian root encourages relaxation. Valerian has been used for centuries and dates back to Greek and Roman times as a natural anxiety remedy.
Kava Kava
A very well known anxiety remedy, it promotes relaxation and is available in different products. Today, it’s most frequently consumed in pill form. Some key benefits from the consumption of kava root are muscle relaxation and improved cognitive ability, just what you’re looking for in an anti-anxiety remedy. The use of kava as a treatment for anxiety has been reviewed in multiple studies and is an effective and safe treatment of anxiety, says Psychology Today. The natural supplement has been reported to interact negatively with alcohol but if you’re looking to improve your anxiety, it’s probably best to avoid alcohol altogether.
Ashwagandha
A bit of a mouthful, the herbal medicine translates to “smell of horse”. Traditionally used to treat anxiety, ageing and low energy, the adaptogenic herb has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine. Adaptogens are a class of healing plants that help to balance, protect and restore the body. Holy basil and liquorice root are also classed as adaptogens. Ashwagandha helps to balance the hormones that contribute to anxiety as well as help induce relaxation and aid sleep.
Rhodiola
The bright yellow-green plant is also known as golden root or roseroot. Rhodiola is an adaptogen herb and is the second most consumed in traditional medicine. As an adaptogen herb, it can have a direct effect on your stress levels and your ability to control and manage stress. The herb has been shown to have beneficial qualities in the relief of anxiety symptoms. Rhodiola encourages calmness and relaxation as well as being a natural stress-reducing and anxiety remedy.
Lavender
Widely used in aromatherapy, the plant’s essential oil is said to promote relaxation, something any anxiety-sufferer strives for. Lavender is available in pill form and as an essential oil. Placing a pot of lavender in your bedroom or perhaps a lavender pillow spray may help you nod off and improve your sleep quality.
Passionflower
The beautiful flower is used as a natural medicine for anxiety sufferers. Passionflower has calming effects on those feeling restless and anxious. It’s known to cause sleepiness for some so it’s best to take this one before bed after a busy day. Some species of the flower may even help with treating stomach problems.
Chamomile
Having a sip on a cup of chamomile tea before bed to relax and set you up for a good night’s sleep is probably an anxiety remedy you’ve either done or heard of. Chamomile capsules seemed to have a calming effect on patients anxiety symptoms.
*Lemon Balm
Most commonly found in capsule form, lemon balm is also an extract. It can be taken alone or added to a herbal tea. This natural anxiety remedy has been used since at least the Middle Ages in relieving symptoms and encouraging relaxation. Lemon balm may also be helpful in treating digestive issues and headaches. Known for its calming and soothing properties, several studies have found that lemon balm not only helps in relieving anxiety but can also improve mood and reduce stress.
*This one maybe the one you need. It may take some time but if ingested every day, it should improve your wellbeing. Lemon balm and lavender are easily grown so you can have your remedies as and when needed. You can try any of the others if you wish but it's best to try one at a time rather than mix (although passionflower, lemon balm and lavender seem to work well together without any complications) I strongly recommend that you make sure you don't have allergies to the stronger ones like valerian. As with all things, please take care.
