Question

[heather27]

Has anyone tried camomile tea and does it help at all

[Michele_B]

I couldn't get past the taste of it so it didn't work for me. I do a lot of oil diffusing. Lavender is great and chamomile oil is also good!

[heather27 in reply to Michele_B]

I know there is different flavours someone mentioned lavender massarge oil to me but not sure

[Michele_B in reply to heather27]

I so drink a Honey Lavender tea that is pretty good. And one called Tension Tamer that I really like. That one is very minty.

I think u need a fair bit of it. Its good to get off caffeine

[heather27 in reply to Anxietyfree]

I read caffeine can trigger your anxiety more so I have not drunk coFfestiniog in about 2 years don't even drink coke any more therapist said a coffee now and then should be ok as it's when u drink loads a day is not good for anxiety never drank more then 3 a day any ways

[Michele_B in reply to Anxietyfree]

Oh yes...good point...all the tea I drink is decaff.

I think I have a sensitivity to caffeine anyway. I do have one cup of coffee in the morning but that is it. No tea or soda. Just water. And almond milk.

That's me I drink bottled water all day every day but need something to help with my anxiety I have medication but have been switched again because my old ones was making me have urges to put my hand on my throat which my gp and therapist and other people said I will get bored with it and can't do much harm other then may be pass out and be sick luckily I have not passed out yet and don't like having them so I've just changed meds again so would likebana to try find something that may help a bit to take the edge off my anxiety been thinking of alcohol latelybut don't even drink anymore haven't for 8 years

[Michele_B in reply to heather27]

Yikes...that's scary! I would def come off of that med if it causing that. And I wouldn't medicate with alcohol either. I plan to reach out to a therapist after my vacation. I'm hoping that he or she will be able to help me more than my GP who just seems to prescribe medication after medication.

[heather27 in reply to Michele_B]

I know right don't like meds my self not touch alcohol it's just one of my thoughts I don't like if honest I won't touch it as it makes me sick now I saw a therapist before but at my last session she said my Brian needs retraining so waiting for my appointment
