Incredibly Powerful Herbs To Bring Down Your Stress Level

Meadowsweet Mellows The Mind

Highbury Wildlife Garden

Often mistaken for a weed, meadowsweet is a pretty plant, with clusters of tiny white flowers. This seemingly unimportant plant actually hides a potent medicine that alleviates headaches brought on by stress and anxiety due to the presence of salicylic acid, the same compound which is in Aspirin. Meadowsweet is available as both a supplement and as tea. While this herb is safe for most, those who have aspirin allergies and those who have asthma are cautioned to steer clear.

Pretty Purple Passion Flower

The Flourishing Tree

The passion flower plant is more than just a showy flower that grows on vines or small bushes in tropical regions around the world. It is also a well-known herbal treatment for anxiety-related conditions. Those who use this herb report a reduction of jitters and nervousness. Passion flower also has sedative properties, which helps insomniacs get better or longer sleep. Because of these sedative properties, it should never be taken with other sedative herbs like valerian, nor should users take passion flower before driving, operating heavy machinery or doing anything that requires fast reflexes and a great deal of attention.
