Chamomile is known as nature’s safest and most effective sedatives. Chamomile has been proven to show good results in the combating of various illnesses and diseases as well as effectively helping to combat stress and depression by relaxing the muscles in the brain, chamomile can be used to defeat insomnia by relaxing the muscles and acting as a mild sedative. The muscle relaxing attributes also help to combat many other problems, including menstrual cramps. The essential oils that chamomile contains also help to heal skin irritations such as bites, stings and even burns and can help in the fight against acne.

I have a number of remedies for Anxiety and/or Stress, starting with my top recomendation and on.
1. Hypnosis/self hypnosis - this has been show to be the most benificial alternative remedy that doesn't involve medication, herbs, supplements ect. You can even hypnotize yourself and there are many programs out there on the internet for that.
2. Blue Vervain - a natural herb that is usually found as a tincture, has no adverse reactions known and promotes relaxation, due to the fact that it is a natural muscle relaxer. It only lasts a couple of hours and needs to be taken several times throughout the day, however. Some may not like the taste of it either, but is better when mixed with tea.
3. Kavaa - a natural muscle relaxer, the strongest I know out there and can be found in a variety of means (ie tea or pills, etc). However, it can cause insomnia and should only be taken in the morning. It can also cause memory lapses and decreased concentration or focus. It should not be taken every day, and only in intervals with at least a week off every month. The positive benifit is that it puts you in a very relaxed state, can take away muscle spasms, twitches, rashes and other stress related problems. I suggest Yogi Kavaa Stress Relief Tea with Kavaa.
Other Herbs for Anxiety/Stress:
Gotu kola
Passion flower
Skullcap

1. Lie flat on your back with both legs and feet touching each other. Keep your palms facing the floor.
2. Exhale and bend knees over the chest. Press hands down on the floor and, with a swing, raise waist and hips.
3. Support hips with the hands and lift the trunk.
4. Raise hips and thighs further, supporting them with the back of your hands. From the shoulders to the knees, the body should be perpendicular to the floor.
5. Straighten legs towards the ceiling.
6. Stay in this position for two-three minutes. Gradually increase the duration to about seven-eight minutes.
7. Exhale. Bend the knees and gradually slide down buttocks and back. Release hands from the back and extend legs on the floor.
