Herbs For Anxiety - How Not to Feel Like a Zombie and Live Like a Normal Human Being!Why do you think anti anxiety meds are not so popular now and that herbs for anxiety seem to be so trendy? The main reason is that the anti anxiety meds do NOT really cure anxiety but do provide some relief from symptoms. The other reason is that these meds like Valium, Xanax and Klonopin are all benzodiazepines and come with some rather heavy baggage. The FDA warnings about these meds are very clear so I will not list them here again except to say that weight loss and some paradoxical effects such as aggression and suicidality were a big turn off for many patients. The other effect which a lot of patients complain about is that fact of feeling like a zombie and grogginess. A study by the Royal College of Psychiatrists showed a definite link between these drugs and road accidents. The other effects which are upsetting are the fatigue, muscle weakness, impaired memory and so on. Another risk that some anxiety patients do not want to take is that of becoming addicted to these drugs, which is quite common apparently. According to one study published quite recently in the La Press Medicale in France, about 23% of anxiety patients had addiction problems with these drugs after only three months! This sort of risk is just non existent with herbs for anxiety. Herbs for anxiety have very few side effects. There may be some dizziness and headache abut really they are quite minor and some people experience no negative side effects at all. The other reason for their popularity is that they are restoring body mind balance in a way which is totally different from the approach of conventional medicine which concentrates on relieving symptoms and nothing else. Ginseng can help to maintain emotional stability and is a great herb to help you relax and yet it also has stimulant properties which help you to cope with the stress and anxiety. The mint herb has many variants and one of them is Catnip which has been used for centuries for anxiety, headaches and calming nervousness and helping us to have a restful night sleep. Valerian is also used as a herb for anxiety and it is also great for promoting a long and restful sleep which very few anxious patients seem to get. The main ingredient in this natural root is valepotriate and it can have beneficial effects on stress, tremors and anxiety in general. The most popular herb of all is St. John Wort which has done better than all the other herbs in terms of safety and effectiveness.
