Natural remedies for anxiety

[LRT]

Since making the decision to go into recovery my anxiety levels have been high.

I am thinking of trying Bach Rescue Remedy has I heard it is good for anxiety.

Has anyone tried it ?? does it work ?? what other natural remedies have you tried that have calmed you down ??

Valerian root. Absolutely nothing compared to benzo-class drugs, but the best OTC I've found. Kava-kava too, though it's a bit more sedating. Or a combination of the two.

I think Bach Rescue Remedy is a UK thing, so I can't give any feedback there.

When I first started feeling anxious I took it all the time. It did work, but as time has gone on, it doesnt help as much.

Im currently seeing a woman for Craniosacral Therapy and she makes me a bach flower remedy, specifily tailored to how im feeling. I think that helps.

But to be honest, I dont think natural remedies will completely do the trick. I went to the doctors and was prescribed BetaBlockers (propranolol) and it has helped me such a great deal. Im only on 20mg a day, but it works.

I was like you at first and wanted to stay 100% natural, but I'd definately reccommed BetaBlockers because it really does calm you down. x
