Looking for a herb that helps you feel relaxed

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

 

I am new to this group and am looking for a herb I can take regularly

that will help me feel more relaxed around others with particular

regard to social anxiety. Any suggestions? I would like to add I have

had epilepsy in the past, just incase someone might suggest something

that can have adverse reactions.

Jonathan,

 

I take valerian... It smells like old socks but it works really well,

have you tried hypnotherapy for the social anxiety? You can try chamomile

as well. Valerian is really more for insomnia but it has been used to treat

anxiety.. It's like herbal valium...

Not only does it smell bad, if you use it regularly, you'll might smell bad

too. Experienced that myself and finally gave it up. I was using it

regularly for insomnia though. You might get away with occasional use.

I've used Valerian Root Herb (tastes nasty) for insomnia before, with

success, though I interest in feeling more relaxed is that with a

relaxed body you also have a relaxed state of mind... I haven't tried

hypnosis with a hypnotist, though I have tried several CDs and found

no help with those, have any of you used them?

Jonathan, my favorite easy to carry around, easy to use on yourself or

others, is Bach Rescue Remedy. Found in any health food store. It comes in

drops or spray.

Well, I can only share my own experiences with insomnia, and I know that you

know that what works for me, might not work for you. I've had insomnia since

I was 11. At about 40 I finally got a little relief with lavender oil. I'd

use just a bit on my pillow and under my nose and it really did help -- for

a while. Now, I use Melatonin. My body adjusts to it and I have to back off

for a few days occasionally, but other than that, it works well for me.

I've tried a hypnotist before with great results. (I used him for my

Trichotillomania {pull my hair out}) It worked until I got really anxious

about money, and then it came back in spades... However I have found that

some of the subliminal MP3's on the Nlp weekly website have helped me.

There are several free MP3's you can download and I've had great results

especially with the anxiety about public speaking (I'm an actress too.) I do

the soaping and the aromatherapy, and massage therapy, energy work and other

things on the side. Remembering to breathe deeply sometimes helps me as

well.

Jonathan,

 

Another Bach Flower Remedy which works is Aspen.

I, too, would go with essences for this rather than herbs... you

might consider a consultation with an essence practitioner, or do

some reading online to pick one for yourself.

 

I've recently starting working with some Master's Essences... perhaps

one of these could be appropriate for you:

Hi Jonathan!

 

Welcome to the group.

 

Just a thought on hypnosis, you really may want to work with an

individual. They will work with your personal needs. CD's can be

great for relaxing, but often are tailored to the masses. Each

person has a unique set of needs. A Certified Hypnotherapist can

work with you to achieve the best solutions for you.

 

Best of rest to you!

This is a great suggestion. Rescue remedy has gotten me through a

few very tight moments. They also make a cream. Sometimes I will rub

it into my temples if I have a headache or am particularly stressed.

Hi Jonathan,

 

You wrote: I have had epilepsy in the past

 

Does that mean that you no longer do?

 

Personally, for situations like yours, I would suggest Bach Flower

Remedies rather than herbs. Perhaps a combination of 2 or 3, but what

comes to mind at this moment is MIMULUS. Check it out at:

Hope this helps,

I would like something regular, not something that I need to take on

occasions.

Hi Jonathan,

 

The herbs in the " Sleepy Time " tea blend by Celestial Seasonings not

only make a tasty tea, but also can help get a person into a relaxing

mood.

 

It is especially effective if it is made a part of the daily routine -

such as the " nightly tea ritual " , where a relaxing atmosphere is set up

and the soothing tea can be enjoyed - and having time to curl up with a

good book would be even more optimal

 

*Smile*

Chris (who hasn't had a chance to regularly sit down and read a good

book in a LONG time - so if you do get to do what I mentioned above, I

will live vicariously through you for now <grinz>

 

Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks

you can think up if only you try!
