Now, the way we deal with these pressures will mean that we can deal with it more or less effectively. We need our own resources, psychological skills and, in addition, some external help that allows us to relax. This is where natural infusions always tend to be a great help.
Here we want to show you which plants can best help us relieve mild anxiety, the one that tends to “visit” us so frequently and that we must treat so that it does not become a chronic problem. Shall we take note?
Evening primrose, the woman's plant
- You can find evening primrose in natural stores or specialized pharmacies. It is commonly sold in capsule form, although in herbal stores you can also find it ready to prepare a delicious tea.
- Evening primrose is very suitable for treating mild anxiety, since its essential fatty acids regulate the activity of the nervous system.
- It is also very suitable for facilitating digestion, something very important when we go through quite intense states of anxiety where it is difficult for us to digest food, and we suffer either diarrhea or constipation.
- It also allows us to detoxify the body.
The benefits of St. John's wort
St. John's wort is a plant that has been used since ancient times to treat anxiety and depression. Within natural medicine it is highly appreciated because its benefits are supported by many studies, being effective in regulating even seasonal affective disorder.
- Treats insomnia.
- Improves the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, as well as the symptoms associated with menopause.

- We can also find bags ready for infusion in natural stores. It is advisable to take 2 infusions a day and see our own progress.
An infallible combination: lemon balm and lavender
With a pleasant flavor and delicate essence. The simple combination of lemon balm and lavender will help us reduce anxiety and regulate palpitations and nervousness.
- They are very effective in balancing moderate anxiety states, as well as improving our rest at night.
- Melissa or lemon balm has a calming effect and even allows us to reduce headache pain and relax.
- You can find these two plants ready to infuse in any natural store. To make it, always try to use a porcelain or clay teapot, since metal ones do not preserve the essential oils of the plants as well.
White willow, a good remedy for anxiety
White willow was already used in Ancient Greece as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory. In fact, its action is very fast and allows us, for example, to treat headaches, stomachaches and even fatigue. Its composition is similar to aspirin, and it has a sedative action that effectively treats mild anxiety.

This plant, native and native to southeastern North America, is very useful in the treatment of anxiety disorders, insomnia and, above all, as a way to regulate nervousness in people who are already very restless.
Valerian, ideal for falling asleep
- Valerian is, like linden, an herb that acts very well on the central nervous system, achieving a state of relaxation that is ideal for falling asleep. Even so, it is very good in the form of a herbal tea on its own. So don't hesitate to try a good valerian infusion.
