whats the best tea to smash anxiety? Please post suggestions..

[Daisy131]

chamomile, or if you have problems sleeping, try sleepytime tea with all sorts of good herbs in it to help you relax. try to stay away from caffeinated bevs, and black teas. if anxiety gives you an upset stomach, try mint. anything herbal is always good, except st. john's wort if you are on meds.

chamomile gets my vote

Don't listen to Cam. Peppermint is the best!

Just kidding. About the Cam is wrong part. 

Chamomile and peppermint are both awesome.

In my country Costa Rica the best tea is call Tilo 10 times better then chamomile

Not familiar with Tilo tea but I am an eager tea drinker. Green tea is probably a favorite and it comes in a decaf version. Add a little soothing honey and all problems vanish (j/k).

Tilo is a small tropical plant with tiny purple flowers, I once grew it years ago from a piece someone from PR gave me.  Its supposed to be good as a tea for nerves and I think it also grows in Florida.

I take Thulsi tea during the day for good inner health and energy levels. And at night I take chamomile tea. I will give peppermint and some of that Tilo, if I can find it, a go though!

A lot of my anxiety is tied up in my stomach. Something like 90% of the serotonin in your system is in your gut, which causes a lot of digestive upset for some of us.

I find peppermint tea really settles my stomach, and fast. Even the smell of it does wonders for me. Chamomile, green tea and even a clove of garlic boiled with the water used as tea (sweetened with honey) works well for nausea, acid reflux etc as it pertains to anxiety.

Basically any tea that doesn't have caffeine I've found is pretty good. Herbal teas are amazing!

I love Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime tea. I drink it day and night. It is so tasty, and I do find it calming. It has chamomile, spearmint, and lemongrass in it. Tastes good with honey in it too.
