Natural Remedies for Anxiety: Tips and Tricks

Mugwort (be sure to check how it will react with your medications and don’t use if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding) has been amazing for me, especially with the anxiety I tend to get at night that affects my sleep. It’s super calming. Weed is also super helpful but I try not use it super regularly for that because I become dependent on it. Weed helps me more when I have an occasional panic attack, it immediately pulls me back down into a calm and rational place so I can process my feelings. Exercise is also amazing, I used to have tons of nervous energy and feel like I couldn’t relax or sit still. Working out helped me get out all that tension in a constructive way. Psychedelics have also been incredibly beneficial for me but make sure to do thorough research beforehand and have a trip sitter to keep you safe. I don’t recommend them for anyone who has a personal or family history with psychosis, it can mess you up. Little things like petting an animal or getting adequate time outside in the sun are also proven to improve mood and reduce stress. Seeking physical comfort and connection in difficult moments can be very healing
