How Can I Ease My Stress Level Naturally?

What Helps Anxiety Naturally

Kava is a top anxiety-relieving herb but it is currently under investigation for causing liver damage if over-used. Recommended dosage should not exceed 300 mg of kavalactones (the name for the active principles of kava) per day. Kava should NOT be mixed with alcohol, prescription anxiety drugs, sedatives or any other drugs that depress mental function. Other helpful herbs or supplements include skullcap, hops, lemon balm, chamomile, passionflower and 5-HTP. Extra selenium (200 mcg daily) and flaxseed oil (2 to 6 tablespoons daily) can also help relieve anxiety in some people.
