Effective Herbal Remedies for Anxiety
Herbal remedies for anxiety vary in their effectiveness and although prescription drugs are also effective, they are habit forming, dangerous if used with alcohol and expensive. For many the safety and relative effectiveness of natural herbal remedies for anxiety are a real life saver.
It’s estimated that nearly 20% of the population suffers from panic attacks or some other form of anxiety. People often erroneously think that having anxiety is a sign of a gigantic psychological problem but this isn’t an accurate picture. For instance, if your car stalls on a railroad crossing any “normal” person would have some degree of anxiety.
Anxiety is a messenger who tells us that at the core deep down inside something is wrong. In the case about the person breaking in, this all makes sense. However in other cases when there really isn’t a life threatening problem, anxiety can be a very debilitating problem.
There are basically 2 forms of anxiety: reactive and underlying. The former is from a situation that one is currently in the other is from a past situation that still has a grip on the sufferer. These are a bit different from panic attacks which come on with blazing speed from seemingly no where.
Fortunately for sufferers of panic attacks and anxiety, there are natural home remedies available.
Skullcap is a very widely used herbal remedy for anxiety and has been used in Europse and China for hundreds of years. Skullcap also has been shown to be an effective home remedy for panic attacks, insomnia and other forms of anxiety and depression. and the effectiveness compounds when it is used with or combined with Valerian.
Valerian is herb that in clinical trials has shown to relieve anxiety and ease panic attacks. Tincutures of Valerian work fairly quickly and can be taken in small doses of around 150 to 250 milligrams a couple times a day.
Motherwort has a rich history of being given to expectant women in Greece to ease their worries during pregnancy. It was also used for postpartum depression. It has an effect of lowering blood pressure. You can take it 2 or even 3 times everyday as a tonic or tincture. However nowadays those who suffer from anxiety in general and heart palpitations use it.
Passion flower has also been shown to ease anxiety. Most extracts are standardized at around 4 percent.
St. John’s Wort is also another effective herbal remedy for anxiety. And did you know it has also been commonly used for years in both the u.S. and throughout Europe for helping to relieve symptoms of depression. In some clinical trials it has been shown to outperform even the widest selling doctor prescribed and somewhat dangerous depression prescriptions.
