According to Dr. Earl Mindell, famous nutritionist and author of the bestseller "Dr. Earl Mindell's Secrets of Natural Health," the herbs that can work wonders to alleviate feelings of anxiety and depression are St. John's wort and Kava.
St. John's wort has been used by the Chinese, the Greeks, the Europeans, and the American Indians, for anxiety, insomnia, depression, and that illness associated with stress, heart disease.
Kava, a member of the pepper family, is one of the most useful antianxiety herbs, kava is described medically as a sedative and muscle relaxant. It's also a pain reliever just like NSAID's drugs. Studies demonstrated that Kava improved concentration, memory, and reaction time for people with anxiety symptoms. The best part is that, it is reported to have no side effects, except with very large amounts taken over a number of years. Dr. Mindell warns that Kava is not recommended for people with Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease.
