What safe natural herbal tea can be used to treat anxiety and depression?
22 أغسطس 2014
some are :
>Kava. Kava appeared to be a promising treatment for anxiety, but reports of serious liver damage — even with short-term use — caused several European countries to pull it off the market. The Food and Drug Administration has issued warnings but not banned sales in the United States. Avoid using kava until more rigorous safety studies are done, especially if you have liver problems or take medications that affect your liver.
>Valerian. In some studies, people who used valerian reported less anxiety and stress. In other studies, people reported no benefit. Valerian is generally considered safe at recommended doses, but since long-term safety trials are lacking, don't take it for more than a few weeks at a time. It can cause some side effects such as headaches and drowsiness.
>lavender
>green tea
>fennel
>chamomile
If you're considering taking any herbal supplement as a treatment for anxiety, talk to your doctor first, especially if you take other medications. The interaction of some herbal supplements and certain medications can cause serious side effects.
however ,if you're taking other medications. Some herbs contraindicate with certain medications; it's best to err on the safe side and check with your doctor before trying anything. If you have liver or kidney problems, for example, there may be certain herbs you shouldn't take
In addition ,herbs should be taken in carefully calculated dosage for maximum efficacy. Taking more than the recommended dosage doesn't translate to lowering your anxiety more quickly; in fact, all it will do is make you feel sick. For example, the wonderfully mild chamomile flower calms the mind and induces sleepiness when used properly. If you take too much, though, you could end up with an upset stomach, which could lead to nausea and vomiting.
