Which herbs should I use for anxiety?
For anxiety support, some of the best herbs include calming nervines which directly soothe the nervous system to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation, and adaptogens which help the body build long-term resilience to stress and balance overall mood and energy.
Some of our favourite herbs for anxiety include:
- Passionflower: Calms nervous tension and supports restful sleep.
- Lemon Balm: Gently uplifts mood and soothes the digestive system.
- Chamomile: Provides gentle relaxation and eases irritability.
- Kava: Deeply relaxes and helps with social anxiety (use cautiously).
- Skullcap: Supports nervous system recovery and eases mental overwhelm.
- Damiana: Uplifts mood, reduces social anxiety and opens the heart
- Blue Lily (Blue Lotus) – Mildly euphoric and heart-opening
- Ashwagandha: Builds long-term resilience to stress and balances adrenal function.
- Tulsi (Holy Basil): Uplifts mood and promotes emotional balance.
- Rhodiola: Energizes while reducing stress-related mental fatigue.
Choosing the right herb depends on your specific anxiety symptoms—whether you need gentle calming, mood support, adrenal balance, or social ease.
When should I use Skullcap for anxiety?
When should I use Skullcap for anxiety?
Skullcap is best used for anxiety that comes with nervous system exhaustion—when you're feeling wired but tired, emotionally overwhelmed, or mentally burnt out. Skullcap nourishes, tones, and restores the nervous system over time, making it especially useful for chronic anxiety, burnout, and sensitive nervous types. It’s particularly supportive in cases of menstrual tension, PMS and tension headaches.
