Guest guest Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Please can anyone help with my daughters exam stress? She gets stressed, has problems breathing and cries uncontrollably. We have tried relaxation exercises, breathing exercises,going through mock exams etc.We are looking for something herbal that may help, she is 15. ________________ This is a tough one, I suffered my entire life, still do mostly because I'm the oldest of 8 and my dad was in the military. He was very strict with me and as a result I developed test anxiety. It followed me through college and into my life. I started drinking chamomile tea when my daughters were growing up, it made all the difference in the world. When I get stressed out these days I take chamomile tincture that I make from German Chamomile when I go to bed at night. If one has a sensitivity to alcohol you can boil water, put into a preheated cup, and put a several dropperfuls into the very hot water, it evaporates much of the alcohol. I learned that little trick from one of the wonderful people at Organic Solutions aka Herbal Remedies. I keep a pot of chamomile tea on the woodstove, on a trivet. it's a little rack with legs on it. Keeps the tea from boiling. I drink my tea all day long and this keeps it warm. Sometimes I use other herbs. I started with chamomile because it's so sweet and yummy I didn't have to put raw honey into it. Others at OS would be able to direct you to other herbs, but for best results you need to be sure your daughter is not having undo pressure put on her, get her drinking relaxing herbal teas and when she has an exam she can use a tincture if necessary. Thing is I hesitate to tell you to give her a tincture to carry, it is alcoholic unless you make it with organic vinegar. But I have not been happy with the extraction process using vinegar, it's doesn't work nearly so well for me. For your daughter it might be just the ticket, Bryan or Doc have the answer to this. If you use vinegar you need to also use raw honey, some teenagers are very resistant to using these things. But if it helps her I doubt it would hurt a thing. Good Luck! ___________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Thank you Micki, very informative and helpful for my daughter. We always let our daughter know as long as she tries her best, thats all she can do in her exams and that life isnt based on one exam, its based on many learning experiences throughout life to try to take the pressure off her. Now off to research making a chamomile tincture lol. Thank you again for your help.Micki <micki_herbal remedies Sent: Saturday, 7 March, 2009 19:37:04{Herbal Remedies} exam stress - solarpanel66 wrote: Please can anyone help with my daughters exam stress?
