Calm Your Nerves Using Herbal Remedies

By Lucas

According to scientific studies, it has been shown that herbal remedies are able to reduce the stress and tension on the average person. Here are some most often used herbal remedies to help sooth your nerves and calm you down.

To help with insomnia, the Passiion flower is highly recommended as a herbal remedy due to it's calming effect. It can help to reduce one's blood pressure as well. Another well known herb called Lavender is often used as well for calming purposes. It is very effective in treating people who have anxiety attacks. Next up, we have lemon balm, another help that not only calms the nerves, but also aids digestion and lower blood pressure. The strong smell from catnip is also able to reduce stress and as the name suggests, is a herb which cats enjoy taking.

If you have gastric problems, then taking some fennel will help with it. It's aromatherapy properties are well known. Kava is another herb which can bring one's stress and anxious levels down to a mininum. This herb comes from the roots. If you have problems sleeping, then try out hop. This herb tastes and smells bitter, but it has an effect of relaxing your body.

For those who do not like strange smell, then beware of the herb motherwort. It has a rather strong odor and tastes bitter as well. However, it has a beneficial effect of keeping one's mood stable. For not only relaxing the body, but also strengthen it, then skullcap is something you might want to try. Also known as helmet flower due to its shape, it is very helpful also to cure insomnia.

If you are suffering from depression, then taking Saint Johns wort might help. This herb has been famous for it's ability to relive depression and even clean wounds on the body. Another good herb to cure insomnia is valerian shub. This root herb acts as a kind of 'sleeping pill' which can help the patient sleep soundly.

While an individual study of each herb has various effects reported, the collective evidence suggests that a good blend of these herbal remedies can be very beneficial to the mind and body. - 14130
