When it comes to herbal supplements for anxiety, you will always want to go with supplements that have been proven to improve your blood circulation and ease the stress on your heart. Anything that calms you down and makes you feel relaxed can be viewed as a supplement for anxiety because your stress levels are what you want to have lowered as a result of the new substance.Some of the best things to lower your anxiety levels can actually be found in the foods everyone usually eats on a daily basis. Lowering your levels of anxiety is very closely related to your hearth health because it is much easier to stay relaxed when you have a

healthy heart.When your heart is able to pump out blood at a normal rate, it makes it easier to stay very calm in stressful situations. When you are drenched in stress after a long day of work, you need to be able to relax and keep your heart’s beats per minutes down to a safe level.Herbal supplements for anxiety are a great choice when you are looking for ways to help your stress levels because they will be able to

make it easier for blood to flow throughout your body.When your blood can easily move around, it makes it much easier to not get overly stressed and have some sort of panic attack every now and then. If you want to live a stress-free life, then you are going to need to improve your heart health and stay away from situations that can become far too stressful.​



Different types of herbal supplements for anxiety

There are many different types of herbal supplements for anxiety available on the market today, but you should really think about what you are buying before you make your purchase. You may actually be better off looking at which supplements work the best for anxiety and getting

the foods that contain the main ingredients in those supplements instead.For example, garlic is said to do wonders for blood circulation and blood pressure, so there is no reason to go out and get a supplement for something you could just add to your meals.The supplements tend to contain a lot more of the active ingredients found in the beneficial foods, but sometimes you aren’t getting all of the benefits of the food

when you take it in supplement form. On top of that, the supplements sometimes contain far too much of the nutrients found in the food, and this can end up actually causing problems for your body. You should just change your diet if you really want to get relief from stress because that is the way that has been proven to work for thousands of years.​



Don’t forget to exercise

Herbal supplements for anxiety and diet changes are great, but you should also remember to get thirty minutes of exercise as often as you can. Without the proper exercise, all of your stress is just going to keep building up in your body.​

Best Herbal Supplements For Anxiety






With nearly 7 million American suffering from anxiety, many affected people are turning to natural remedies to relieve their symptoms. As the popularity of herbal supplements increases, hundreds of studies have been conducted to test their effectiveness, resulting in just as many conclusions. For this reason, researchers from the Global Neuroscience Initiative Foundation conducted a review of the 24 most credible studies to see if any firm conclusions could be reached from the larger pool of data. After this examination, they found one herbal supplement that is helpful to anxiety sufferers, another that looks promising, and a third natural remedy that doesn’t live up to its hype.


Kava
Kava is a sedative beverage especially popular in Pacific island nations. Often kava is used as an alternative to alcohol for its ability to relax the body without impairing the brain, thus keeping a clear mindset. Out of 11 studies that focused on kava, 63% found that kava reduces anxiety and related symptoms in many patients.
Although there is some concern about liver damage in relation to kava, this risk is rare, with none of the studies’ 435 subjects reporting liver problems. Since kava is otherwise free of side effects, it appears to be a great, natural choice in relieving anxiety according to the study.

Passionflower
Best known as the plant that produces passion fruit, passionflower grows all over the world and has long been cultivated to treat anxiety. Up until recently, however, its success has been largely anecdotal. While the researchers found only three studies that focused on the medicinal usage of

passionflower, all three reported significant alleviation of anxiety symptoms.
Though one study reported mild side effects including tiredness, lightheadedness, and confusion, overall, passionflower appears to be a safe herbal

remedy. As there are only three studies on the topic, the researchers stress that further investigation is necessary before elevating passionflower from promising to effective. Unfortunately, because passionflower is comprised of thousands of chemical properties, it is nearly impossible to determine which biochemicals are playing a pivotal role in reducing anxiety.

St. John’s Wort
St. John’s wort is a yellow flowering commonly used as a herbal relief for depression. Since a lot of people are simultaneously diagnosed with depression and anxiety, most of the research focuses on the treatment of both disorders. Of the six studies that examined anxiety patients exclusively, the results are

inconsistent. Though some found benefits to the plant, just as many determined that its effects were equal to a placebo. Moreover, the researchers noted that the most thorough of the studies declared St. John’s wort useless. For this reason, as well its tendency to provoke moderate upset stomachs and

headaches, these experts do not recommend using St. John’s wort for the treatment of patients with anxiety but not depression.
If you are afflicted with chronic anxiety and want to try a natural approach, it may be time to speak to your doctor about exploring these herbal

alternatives. Though some people are quick to dismiss herbal supplements as new-age silliness, the fact is that the majority of over-the-counter medicines contain ingredients cultivated from plants. So go ahead: sip some kava, try some passionflower, but skip the St. John’s wort.
