- Chamomile is a good herb to reach for when things get stressful. It can help calm the nerves, relieving anxiousness and nervous fidgeting. A tea made from dried chamomile is a smart way to relax and prepare for sleep after a hard day. If you are prone to an upset stomach when under stress, a cup of chamomile tea can be just the thing you need to settle your stomach.
- Valerian root is another herb that is helpful in times of stress. It can help reduce headache-causing tension in the neck and shoulders. If your worries keep you up at night, valerian root may help reduce nervous anxiety so you can get a good night's sleep.
- When you are under a lot of pressure, try ginseng for a little extra energy. Ginseng is thought to increase energy while relieving symptoms of depression or anxiety. It may even equip your body to better handle the physical symptoms of stress and reduce the damage done to your body due to stressful events by supporting the nervous system.
- Rhodiola rosea is another herbal option for reducing stress as well as increasing energy and improving memory and concentration. This herb can help support the immune system, which can really suffer in times of stress. If you are prone to catching colds when stress levels are high, try rhodiola rosea extract.
Do not take this herb with any other herbal supplement, especially ginseng, because this can be dangerous.
