My Favorite Relaxing Herbs

St. John's Wort: Well documented for use in Depression but should not be taken with prescription drugs without advice from a doctor. Most doctors are familiar with this herb. More info at this link.

Basil: Smells absolutely wonderful, Relaxing tea, Easy to grow annual .

Catnip (Catmint): Relaxing, Helps digestion. Easy to grow from seed or cuttings.

Ginseng: Use only cultivated ginseng, wild ginseng is endangered.

Jewel Weed: Anecdote for poison Ivy. Wash with tea or make a soap.

Lavender: Use a few drops essential oil in bath water to relax and ease insomnia.
Anti-aphrodisiac. (Try lavender cologne on young dating daughters!).

Lemon Balm: Relaxing, Great lemon smell. A good one for herbal pillows.

Passionflower: Beautiful, antispasmodic, relaxant, helps with insomnia. Personally, I find it to be a great mood enhance when under stress. Allegedly will grow as a houseplant.

Rabbit Tobacco: Tobacco substitute, everlasting flowers, grows wild in sunny places.

Skullcap: Possible Hypnotic, Bitter tea but I like the effect; especially when concentration is needed. Also use before meditating.

Wild Mountain Mint: Strong invigorating odor, Good tea for congestion, also a natural carpet and closet freshener. Grows wild in Tennessee.

This information is intended as an introduction to how medicinal herb plants are used. I am not a medical professional and I cannot prescribe what herbs are right for you. I cannot answer medical questions, so please do not ask me (or any other complete stranger for that matter) to prescribe herbal cures, treatment or to guess what is wrong with you. If you use herbs, do so responsibly. Consult your doctor about your health conditions and use of herbal supplements. Herbs may be harmful if taken for the wrong conditions, used in excessive amounts, combined with prescription drugs or alcohol, or used by persons who don't know what they are doing. Just because an herbal remedy is natural, does not mean it is safe! There are herbs that are poisonous such as Poison Hemlock, Jimson weed, and many more.
