Question:
Is there any herbal remedy for anxiety?
If anyone has been following my hurt dog saga, you know that when Honey is healed and I can relax, I will be making a dr appt to get diagnosed and on some medication for my anxiety. Until then, is there anything herbal I can take to lower the anxiety? Thanks for reading!


I am not quite sure about herbal supplements however, eliminate caffeine type of beverages etc.. If you are a coffee drinker etc.. There are things to avoid that can trigger or make the anxiety worse.. Just be careful with herbs. You need to trat herbs as if you weretaking a prescription drug. There can be interactions and side effects just like prescriptions and so forth.. The best thing you can do is go see your doctor or find a doctor that can help you keep your anxiety under control..
There are herbal teas like chamomile that are supposed to be relaxing however, I know atleast for me if I am experiencing high levels of anxiety that just doesnt cut it~
The best of luck to you!
