Natural remedies

[Lillath]

Wondering if anyone has found any effective natural remedies for severe anxiety? Or helpful ways to deal with it??

Houseplants have helped me a lot along with meditation (still suck at it but getting better) lavender and chamomile tea, valerian root (some people get funny dreams with it though). Something that involves fine motor movements like knitting or wire wrapping jewelry seems to help me too. I've found eating clean helps as well but that could just be me liking cooking.

I've used essential oils (mainly lavender and peppermint oil) and they work short term in the moment but they don't seem to have a long term healing effect. It's nice way to shift your mood temporarily though

I have found cooking to help my anxiety also coloring in adult anxiety coloring books and DIY crafting really helps a lot.
