There are lots of supplements and herbs that can support anxiety as well. Lavela is an oral lavender oil supplement that has been shown to be as effective as SSRIs and benzodiazepines, the commonly used pharmaceutical meds used to treat anxiety. Other herbs, such as lemon balm, passionflower, valerian, and skullcap can also be used in tinctures to support relaxation and soothe anxiety. Lastly, flower essences are dilute extracts from various flowers used to regulate emotions and restore balance and resilience. A blend of flower essences called Rescue Remedy is often used for panic attacks and acute episodes of anxiety. If you think you would benefit from herbal support for mood and anxiety, please reach out to me or check out these additional ways to decrease anxiety.
