Anxiety Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question we haven't answered yet? Get in contact with us here.

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.

What are the best herbs for anxiety attacks?

For anxiety attacks—which come on suddenly and feel intense—fast-acting herbs that calm the nervous system and ease panic are most effective. Here are some of the best ones:

  • Kava – One of the strongest herbal relaxants. Calms the mind and body quickly, making it ideal for acute anxiety or panic. Best used occasionally. We recommend our Instant Kava for quick & easy preparation.
  • Passionflower – Soothes racing thoughts and tension. Great for calming the nerves during high-stress moments or before bed. We recommend our Passionflower 1:2 Liquid Herb for ease of use & quick absorption.
  • Skullcap – Eases sudden nervous tension, restlessness, and twitchy muscles. Can help slow mental spiraling. We recommend our Skullcap 1:2 Liquid Herb for ease of use & quick absorption.
  • California Poppy – A gentle sedative that reduces emotional overwhelm and physical symptoms like a pounding heart or tight chest.
  • Lemon Balm – Quick-acting and soothing for both the mind and digestion. Ideal when anxiety causes stomach upset or shakiness. We recommend our Lemon Balm 1:2 Liquid Herb for ease of use & quick absorption.
  • Lavender – Both aromatherapy and internal use can rapidly calm the nervous system and reduce panic symptoms.
  • Rescue Plus (Bach Flower Essence + Australian Bush Flower Essence) – Not an herb, but a classic fast-acting flower essence blend many find helpful in moments of crisis.

When should I use Ashwagandha for anxiety?

Ashwagandha is best used for anxiety related to chronic stress, burnout, and adrenal fatigue. It’s most effective when taken consistently over time to build resilience, balance cortisol levels, and promote a calm, steady mood. Use it when your anxiety feels rooted in overwhelm, exhaustion, or feeling “on edge” all the time. It’s a great choice for daily support, especially in the morning or early evening, rather than for immediate relief.

Learn more about Ashwagandha.

When should I use Chamomile for anxiety?

Chamomile is best used for anxiety when you need gentle calming—especially if your symptoms include irritability, digestive discomfort, or difficulty sleeping. It's ideal in the evening to ease you into rest, or during the day when you feel emotionally sensitive, frazzled, or on edge. A warm chamomile tea can be especially comforting when your anxiety feels tender or you're in need of nurturing support.
