What is the best homeopathic or natural remedy for anxiety, stress and muscle relaxant?

Have tried the usual route of SSRI's etc and found them no good, so wondered if Valerian or Aconite was useful or if anything else worked well for people.

    Chamomile and kava kava are supposed to be good for anxiety. St. John's Wort is a mood elevator and really isn't for anxiety so much as depression. Valerian might be good, but get a capsule because making tea from it smells like poo and tastes worse (probably, I've never tasted poo). Kava kava capsules can be tough on the stomach, it's like a pepper and doesn't agree with some people. I like chamomile tea in a lavender bath with low light. No doctor would ever say that was harmful (with the other herbs, you should probably be careful if you have any health problems or are already on meds). Also, you could check out THE RELAXATION RESPONSE by Herbert Benson (it's a simple, strong meditation technique). Make sure you use REAL lavender, not a perfume substitute. Read the ingredients. Herbal remedies aren't "magic bullets" the way drugs try to be. They can certainly help, but if you're having anxiety, the best thing is to evaluate your life and make a holistic change. Use the herbs, sure, but do other things too. Exercise, eat better, sleep more appropriately, maybe see a counselor, evaluate your work and if it is making you too stressed try to make a change.

    I agree with some of the comments about exercise to relieve stress and anxiety.

    Although i will get some thumbs downs for this, but, there is absolutely no evidence that homeopathy works other than as a placebo period.

    You have inadvertently answered the question about homeopathic cures by asking about Aconite, even if there was small amounts present, you would become rather ill due to the fact that all Aconitums (as any gardener would tell you) are extremely toxic.

    Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!

    1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.

    2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.

    The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.

    After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net/

    Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.

    Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.

    But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There's this strange herb called "St John's Wort" - it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John's Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.

    The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced... you have that "learned behavior" in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction... There are several other techniques to help cope them!

    Ok, to use Distraction: Firstly, try to....

    There are multiple kinds of disorders that deal with anxiety. Although most can manifest in similar ways, these disorders generally occur due to different events in your life. Natural home remedies for anxiety https://tr.im/UQKfa

    Generalized anxiety disorder includes persistent and unnecessary worries about everyday, common events or activities, which can disrupt concentration and lead to other issues, such as depression.

    You need to take a good "liquid" vitamin / mineral supplement like VEMMA. Lack of minerals will compound anxiety and stress related symptoms. You will also need to remove the source of anxiety and stress. Go to www.TrySomeVemma.com ask for "nutritional program"
