Incredibly Powerful Herbs To Bring Down Your Stress Level

Licorice Root

While many sing the praises of St. John's Wort as an herbal treatment to reduce stress, licorice root does what St. John's Wort does, but with less risk. It acts upon the adrenal glands, which helps to reduce the effects of stress on the body. Licorice root also has pain-relieving qualities which can be helpful, particularly for women who are experiencing pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) related discomfort and anxiety. Caution should still be practiced, however, and those with high blood pressure should not take this herb.
