13. B-Vitamins
No matter which remedy you decide to try, be sure that you are getting enough of all the B vitamins. Your body needs all of them, but B6 is especially important to make both serotonin and GABA. Low levels of B12 have also been associated with feelings of anxiety. Since the B vitamins work best in combination with each other, don’t consume just one or two, but purchase a B complex supplement for best results.
14. Valerian
You will find valerian root tea in every health food store due to its long history of use in treating anxiety, insomnia, and fighting stress and tension. Valerian contains a wide range of active ingredients and has been proven for hundreds of years to be both safe and effective.

15. Kava
Australian researchers tested a standardized kava extract on 60 subjects who were diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder in 2009. After consuming kava each day for 3 weeks, all subjects reported that their anxiety levels decreased significantly when compared to the placebo group. This herb is super effective for those who are suffering from both depression and feelings of anxiety.
Always consult your doctor before beginning any herbal program, especially if you are taking any prescription medications or have any health concerns.
