hello!
i suffer from anxiety! not quite panics but it feels like they r on their way at times.
I would recommend trying herbs to anyone!!
i have bought them all i think. Heres a run down on ones i have tried and other ones i think u should all try..
VALERIAN.. calms u down, good for before bed or when u arent doing anything as it makes u sleepy! thats good though.
SKULLCAP.. calming, not drowsy like valerian. makes me feel a bit lifeless but thats better than anxious i'd say!
ZEN. GABA and L-theanine.. good, calming quite mild and wears off but works for a few hours. Take with vit b6 as b6 is good for absorbtion.
Have recentley ordered something called LEMON BALM (MELISSA) it is supposed to be good for heart palpatation type panics, excellant for stomach probs too! calming also.
Also one called MAGNOLIA OFFICIINALIS. This is an alternative to KAVA KAVA they say (kava is banned as it causes liver probs in some but is known to be one of the best for anxiety and panics). Looking forward to this one.
Also ordered one called PASSION FLOWER or PASSIFLORA which it is commonly called. This is suposed to have mild sedative and good relaxing effects!! i will get back and let you know on those 3.
One called rhodiola rosea too, it is supposed to be great and energizing for stress and anxeity but wears off in a month or so, so a break would be good before u start it up again can cause worse anxiety or better at the start of treatment we are all different though.
Hope this helps!! it may work better for you or not we are all different but its def worth the try and money if u ask me!! safer than prescrition too. I would try em all and mabie rotate taking the herbs for effectiveness.
I have more ideas i will also post too.[8D]
