Valerian root is helpful to some people. Be sure to ask your doctor or pharmacist first, as some medical conditions can be made worse by taking valerian, and there are interactions with some other medicines. In particular, do not take it with alcohol or other sedatives. As with any drug, seek the advice of a medical professional before you begin this treatment.

Try St. John's Wort.

The best thing for anxiety is CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). See a counselor, psychologist or pick up one of those self-help books. They are often helpful. Good luck!
