What sort of things were you thinking of @Seasalt12?

Looking for something that I can give my 17 year old for anxiety I have read various reports on St. John’s wort just looking for ideas and if anybody had any success with herbal remedies

Kalms are good. Even if just a placebo, you can buy them in Boots/Sainsbury's.

Bach flower remedies are good. They have a whole list for different emotional states.

ashwagandha Really helped my anxiety

I've had St Johns Wort for PMS in the past, made zero difference for me unfortunately.

Read about myo inositol and how it may help with anxiety.
There is some interesting research out there.

My ds is nearly 16, 4 years ago he had awful anxiety, with school anxiety and refused to go to school etc, it was an awful time. I gave him CBD capsules. I don’t know if they really do help or it was a kind of placebo effect but within a couple of months he was so much better. He still takes them every now and then but he really doesn’t have many issues now.

Also, I have just purchased these for myself as I suffer from terrible anxiety and antidepressants make me feel awful. The reviews for these were really good.

Have you noticed a difference since taking them?

Linden blossom (lime flower) tea is good for anxiety.

Tavannach · 05/07/2021 05:45

Exercise is good as well.
