Anyone try Ashwaganda or any Adaptogen herbs? For anxiety / Panic
Posted , 7 users are following.
I'm just curious if anyone here has tried Ashwaghnda or any Adaptogen herbs or Chinese Medicine? And has had any improvements or success with it? I've tried Ashwaganda and St. John's wort / L theanine in the past but I recently found out I wasn't using the proper dose like most people for Severe anxiety. So I'm going to give Ashwaganda a shot again. I always figured.. Before medicine.. Humans in the past had to use SOMETHING to deal with their issues and their HAS TO BE something out their that was used back hundreds of years ago to combat Anxiety and panic disorder.. Those people had it worse than us... so I'm sure Anxiety was big back then.. This led me to Eastern medicine and learning about Indian/Chinese ect / herbs that has been used for thousands of years and that I learned their is a world where people use Herbs for anxiety and they are treated successfully in the eastern world mostly now. I do respect Western Medication as it has helped me with Anxiety in the past. But I'm in a position where.. It is slowly getting better and I just want to finish it off naturally so I can avoid side effects ect.
I'm seriously considering trying Herbs to fight my Anxiety. I've brought my anxiety down SIGNIFICANTLY through Magnesium/B vitamins Diet& / sleep and meditation these past couple of weeks and I'm now just trying to defeat the Remaining symptoms I'm getting from anxiety and stress. I'm able to do more things so I can tell I'm improving. A lot of my symptoms like severe loss of breath and head tension / migraines / chest pain has left. All I have left is minor..
-I feel like my Head is having wierd sensations. Like I'm falling. (Sort of like vertigo)
-Brain fog / Derealization / Low Ringing ears 24/7
-Nausea for a couple of seconds(I never vomit )
-Racing heart every other day but it's getting better through meditation and diet.
-Severe muscle tension/stiffness all though my body
I've seen a couple of doctors and they say all of this is just Severe stress causing these symptoms .. So I'm looking into trying herbs or supplements that will reduce stress. So if anyone has had any experiences let me know how it went for you and any suggestions!

I had extreme anxiety and poor cognitive functioning. What I did was take Schisandra to begin liver detox. Then I got onto detoxing herbal teas and finally onto an Organic India tea with Tulsi and other herbs aimed at improving my digestive system. Once I healed my digestive system all my anxiety and cognitive and mood swing issues stopped! Absolutely amazing. I haven't felt this good for years. Here are articles that explain:
All the best!
