These herbal remedies support, strengthen and nourish your nervous system. Herbs are not like drugs, which are designed to deaden the senses and work quickly. Natural remedies take longer because they repair and nourish the nerves. Taking herbs consistently for several weeks to several months allows ample time for healing and nourishment to take place. These are called nerve tonics when they strengthen and tone the nerve tissue.
These herbs are usually high in calcium, magnesium, B vitamins and protein. They also help ease tension, reduce pain and help you sleep because they soothe the nerves.
o Oatstraw-This is the best herb for the nerves and your heart. It is loaded with calcium that your body can easily absorb. Oatstraw is the same plant that your oatmeal comes from, but it is the stalk and milky tops. These contain high amounts of calcium, magnesium and B vitamins.
o Skullcap-One of the best herbs for all nervous disorders. Insomnia, nervous exhaustion, nerve tremors, stress, menstrual tension and headaches are relieved by skullcap.
o Wood betony-For centuries, wood betony has been used as a calming herb by herbalists in Europe. If you have insomnia and have nights when your mind races with thoughts that won’t let you sleep, wood betony is the herb you want.
o Chamomile-One of the best children’s herbs, as well as for adults. It has been used for nervous stress, infections, colic and stomach disorders in children. Works for adults too.
o Valerian-For stress, nervous system disorders and insomnia, this herb is still used all over the world, in spite of its repulsive odor. As a tea, you can mix it with other herbs, or just take it as a tincture.
o Hops-For easing tension and anxiety in men as well as hypertension. This herb is a favorite of many because it relaxes the nervous system. As it is a bitter herb, take it as a tincture.
o Lemon balm-this herb is calming and excellent for general exhaustion and insomnia. Drink as a tea or take as a tincture. The tincture made in a glycerin base is a good remedy for children.
These herbs can be taken individually or you can blend them for a nerve tonic. Drink them as a tea or take in tincture form. Many of them blend well together as a tea. Instead of using drugs, nourish your body with herbs and restore health to your nerves!
