If you struggle with anxiety, depression, insomnia, adrenal fatigue or trauma, these are my top 3 recommendations.
They are safe and effective for most people and I explain their benefits as well as a few contraindications. Note: magnesium can cause problems in benzo withdrawal and possibly other types of psychiatric drug withdrawal.
Don’t make the mistake I did and wait 20 years to take these! I’ve been taking them for less than a year but wish I’d taken them forever!
Here are some product recommendations (some of these may be affiliate links where I will get a small commission if you purchase through the link):

I have a growing interest in herbal medicine too and have also found that milky oat or oat straw is very soothing to the nervous system and not contraindicated if taking meds. I didn’t know that about Magnesium but stopped using it a while back when I experienced disturbing restless legs while trying to sleep. I will say now that Magnesium is contraindicated with all classes of psych drugs since I am not on any benzos but on another class of drug.
Thanks Robin. Yes, oatstraw is very safe and soothing as you say and so far I haven’t heard of anyone reacting negatively.
Which other herbs have you used for anxiety?
So magnesium caused you restless leg while on psych drugs?
Some people take it for restless leg. I haven’t had restless legs myself but I’m curious if you have a hypothesis as to why it causes that while on meds?
I read that magnesium can aid in detox and therefore be problematic in withdrawal of it causes detox to happen too fast.
