Has anyone here tried herbal remedies for anxiety? This is another topic seems to be talked about quite a bit and there is a lot of information on both sides as to what is and what is not effective. So I would like to find out what other people’s experience has been with natural remedies.

It only makes sense that there are natural supplements and herbal remedies that can help in terms of dealing with stress and reducing panic attacks. After all, all of our medications are based off of some sort of plant life or mineral that showed it had a healing quality. These herbs and minerals were researched and broken down to their basic elements so that scientists could manufacture a better version or a more potent version of the original herbal supplement. So an herbal remedy for anxiety is simply nature’s unbroken down original source for these nutrients and chemicals.

The problem I have is that there is always a debate as to what is effective and what does not work. When it comes to anxiety and especially acute panic attacks it is important to find something that will help reduce that state of panic that the individual gets into. My hope would be that an herbal remedy would have less chance of side effects because it is a pure form of the nutrient needed and not as concentrated as a manufacture drug. The only problem would be if somebody had a serious mental health needs that requires a far more potent drug.

Also it’s extremely important that any herbal remedies taken by an individual or reported to their doctor so that the health officials can give them an informed medical recommendation. It is so important that the herbal remedy does not somehow interfere with a prescribed drug. This could be devastating. Also it’s very important that you make sure no allergic reactions exist for the herb in question.

As you can see it doesn’t look like there are any easy answers for herbal supplements. Let us know what your experience has been with herbal remedies for anxiety and panic attacks.
