Home Remedies: Anxiety and herbal remedies - Mayo Clinic
Several herbal remedies have been studied as a treatment for anxiety, but more research is needed to understand the risks and benefits.
Herbal supplements aren't monitored by the FDA the same way medications are. Despite enhanced quality control regulations in place since 2010, the quality of some supplements may still be an issue. Remember, natural doesn't always mean safe.
If you're considering taking any herbal supplement as a treatment for anxiety, talk to your health care provider first, especially if you take other medications. The interaction of some herbal supplements and certain medications can cause serious side effects.
