Does anyone know any herbs for anxiety? I would love to know what herbs work, because I don't think I'm ready for medications. Right now I am trying some other solutions - I meditate (actually a cool site www.myinnerworld.com), keep a journal etc. but I would really like to know some herbal remedies. Please suggest!

Well this isn't a Herb, but possibly you could look into 5-HTP.

5-HTP from memory interacts with an Amino Acid called Tryptophan. and increases Seretonin release from the Brain.

Might be one option to possibly look at.

As for Herbs, I couldn't honestly tell you, although even something as simple as chewing Sugar Free Gum sometimes might do it, as the Chewing action could stimulate a calmer mood.

You could even try the Gums with Xylitol, a Sugar which helps to fight Plaque Acid.

Sorry I couldn't be more help, but perhaps there's some food for thought in what I did say.
