I am a long time sufferer of depression and anxiety. Anxiety is so high right now that I am about to jump out of my skin! I will for sure try the tea tonight. Crossing fingers.

I find that drinking Valerian tea with a little honey really helps to me to relax before bedtime. I’ll be trying Chamomile next….

I discovered a new tea fir a little pick me up called Ginseng Vitality Rooibos. It’s from Teavana(I really love this place) it has zesty ginger root and soothing St. John’s Wort. It taste great hot or cold. It really helps me with my mood. I feel so energized after I drink it. give it a shot!

im nineteen years old and a new sufferer of anxiety and panic attacks, and ive searched for EVERY natural way to help me calm myself down and unwind because i dont believe in taking medications, and i find that chamomile tea helps so much when im feeling like i cant fall asleep. it feels like it completely unwinds my nerves and my mind. but im always looking for any new teas that work to relax(:

Hi Al, Andy has a great point; Tea does come in decaffeinated form. So if caffeine doesn’t sit well with you then you can still enjoy a cup.

Nice save Andy, I totally forgot about the Decaf.

I avoid caffeine like the plague. Always find it gets me wired and nervous. Instead I tend to drink red bush or rooibus tea which is pretty good. Also I have decaf green tea which seems to do teh trick as well. I tried chamomile for a while but I think it might have given me palpitations…I’m not sure on this one but I have a strong suspision.

I am a long-time anxiety sufferer (20 years or so), but recently officially diagnosed with anxiety disorder. While trying to stay medication free, I have given up pretty much all caffeine, but if good effects of tea outweigh the effects of caffeine, I’ll have to try this out. Thanks Paul.

I never knew that tea actually had a chemical in it that reduced anxiety. I just know that it soothes me, so that is cool that now I understand the science behind it.

It’s funny I feel that drinking tea and taking a bath are very similar in the way that you are soothed by the heat and the smell of the herbs which also relax and comfort your body. I am a big fan of baths as well in case you couldn’t tell
