Anxiety is a natural response of the human body to situations of fear and worry. It isn't a life-threatening condition; however, it can disturb your everyday life functioning adversely. 

Persistent anxiety leaves you unable to perform well in your work and house chores. Therefore, it's imperative to treat anxiety right away before it becomes a part of your everyday routine. 

For this, anti-anxiety medications are usually prescribed but owing to their side effects, people are now switching to alternative medications, which include herbs and plants. The following is a list of medicinal herbs that can help relieve anxiety: 

Passionflower 

Passionflower also called wild passion vine or wild apricot is a quick-growing perennial herb with trailing stems. It is promoted as a dietary supplement for sleep-related conditions and anxiety.

Canadian Mushrooms 

Canadian mushrooms, also known as magic mushrooms or shrooms, are beneficial for various mental health conditions. Anxiety happens to be one of them. Canadian shrooms are said to be pretty effective in treating anxiety when consumed in a moderate dose. 

Chamomile 

Speaking of treating anxiety, you can never forget about chamomile. It's a common name for different daisy-like plants of the Asteraceae family. Chamomile flowers are naturally loaded with calming properties; thus, they work well for anxiety. 

Not to mention, they can promote better sleep, given their healing characteristics. As you know, persistent anxiety often leads to insomnia. It's hard falling or staying asleep when you're restless. Chamomile can help resolve all such issues with ease.

Kava Kava 

Kava kava commonly called kava is the crop of the Pacific Islands. Kava is loaded with a substance known as kavapyrone, which has similar effects to alcohol. It relaxes your mind, relieves physical tension, and uplifts your mood.
