please help. anxiety. which herb?!
Question: Please help. anxiety. which herb?
I suffer from anxiety and was on anti depresseants. However, after learning that they can cause sexual side effects, I wanted to stop.
Im now looking for herbal liquid extracts to help with anxiey without sexual side effects. (Im bad at tablets)
I read about Valerian. Does this work and does it have sexual side effects? How about Ginseng, Ginko Biloba? I read about St Johns Wort, but some people say this causes lack of orgasm in males. Is this so? becuse apart from that it sounded promising.
I am looking to buy them from Holland and Barretts because its near my home. If i give a link to the ones that they sell, would it be possible for anone to pick the best ones out for anxiety without sexual side effects?

St Johns Wort is quite good for mild to moderate anxiety/depression, the aromatherapy oils lavender basil, and ylang-ylang amongst others are quite good, a look at your diet and lifestyle may be very useful for the long term, try visiting this site for dietary advice, www.foodforthebrain.org exercise is also good for anxiety, as when we work out endorphins are released and these
After a disastrous series of life events I ended up seriously depressed, and I used the dietary advice that I had researched, and started taking more exercise, and I believe this greatly aided my recovery, good luck
You probably do not want to hear this, but the best option would be to call your doctor. They can recommend an FDA approved, safe medication. They might even recommend an herb.
BUT... I take this, and it is excellent!

No negative sexual side-effects.
No negative brain activity.
The only difference is that you are less anxious, and you can finally enjoy your life! ;D
St. John's Wort....it is great....and so is Valerian - they have no sexual side effects...you will be fine with them.
