Does anyone know natural/herbal remedies for anxiety?
Answer:
Try Valerian, you can get it in any pharmacy. It comes in capsule form. Heads up, it has a terrible odor to it. It works for some people.
Anything with St Johns wort might help - also Exercise is great for relieving anxiety and depression. Also I work wiht a company that has a product with st johns wort. Let me know if you want more information

See a kanieseologist(spell check that). Most can help u with mental problems by treating u with herbel remedies or supplements. I'm seeing one now and put me on some liquid drop stuff that helped a lot with anxiety.
Lavender essential oil works well as aromatherapy.
Vitamin B Complex is recommended, as well as Valerian Root tablets. You should be able to find both at a pharmacy over the counter. goodluck finding something that works for you!
First off, proper diet and a good exercise regime is the best thing. Exercise is a great way to work off the anxiety. Valerian like someone else said is good. I use Shaklee supplements and their Stress Relief Complex is good for anxiety. It contains 100mg L-theanine, 100mg ashwagandha root extract, 60mg beta sitosterol, and 100mg L-tyrosine. Anxiety is a difficult thing to beat. Figure out the source of the problem and try to find a way to solve or cope with it. Don't be afraid to try Xanax or Paxil for short periods of time- they can be very helpful while you figure out how to handle the situation causing the anxiety. Best of luck
St Johns wort may help (pills or the horribly tasting tea), but it takes a long time before results can be felt.
Vitamin B12 is also good. But I am sure a good doctor can advise also other treatment then xanax, there are medicines around that are not addictive.
Certain kinds of meditation help, and in some serious cases also hypnosis.
I use the Bach Flower Remedy STRESS RELIEF spray.
It travels well and when I need to chill, just one or two quick little spray to my tongue. I add a couple of deep breaths and I am good to go.
diet and exercise. That's the only way. Your brain needs food to build neurotransmitters. Anxiety is a warning bell, telling you you're not getting enough of the right foods.
Try an essential oil diffuser, or use 10 to 15 drops per table spoon of carrier oil and put on your temple or under your nose. here is a list of qualities different oils have, for more info and good prices check out this website. www.thegoldenpixie.com

Anxiety is a multi-layered problem, and that means you need a multi-layered approach to handling it. Are you getting enough protein in your diet? Also, have you tried a good adrenal support. The B vitamins are good, but the best I've found is dessicated adrenal. You should be able to find it at a natural foods store. The homeopathic Rescue Remedy by Bach is also helpful. And I have to agree with another respondant, see if you can find an applied kinesiologist in your area. Also try looking for a professional kinesiology practitioner. They have different approaches, and both can help you find natural, safe, and effective ways to help you lower your anxiety. Good luck!
Stress/Anxiety Formula...it is all natural, and readily avialable. Also you could try the Anxiety/Nervousness formula. Either way, they work. check it out below

Running through a meadow helps.
