5 Effective Herbal Supplements for Anxiety

With world situations constantly changing & conditions seemingly going from bad to worse, it's all too easy to develop anxiety. It could be one particularly huge event or a buildup of many smaller stressful life situations that can trigger excessive anxiety. For some, it's the death of a loved one, for others it may be an ongoing trigger such as work-related or financial stress. Thankfully, there may be a natural remedy to our rescue. Here are 3 effective herbal supplements that may help soothe your anxiety!

 

1. Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha - translated as "smell of horse", has been traditionally used to treat anxiety, aging, and low energy. It is also one of the most important herbs in Ayurvedic medicine. It’s become extremely popular after being classified as an “adaptogen” meaning it helps the body adapt to stress and can exert a normalizing effect on bodily processes. Studies have shown that Ashwagandha can help balance the hormones that contribute to anxiety as well as help induce relaxation and aid sleep. FarmHaven Aswagandha combines 1200 mg of this root with 100 mg of organic ginger root powder to help boost the effectiveness of ashwagandha.

 

2. Passionflower

This lovely flower is native to the southeastern United States and Central and South America. It has been used for years as a natural medicine for anxiety sufferers. Passionflower can help relieve feelings of anxiety to promote mental calmness and is also known to cause sleepiness for some, so it may be good to take before bed. Many supplements that help support sleep also include this flower in their blend as studies have suggest that this herb may also help one achieve restful sleep.

Chamomile is a gentle and natural way to help with anxiety. It can be consumed as a tea or in a supplement pill form. This herb is known to help ease digestion issues and promote restful sleep. In addition, some studies have shown that chamomile seemed to have a calming affect on patients who had anxiety symptoms.
