These are the Top Herbs to Take to Destress, Relax, and Restore

From milky oat tops to lemon balm.

Herbal remedies are oh so important when it comes to all the aspects of our health. There are so many that can do wonders for our bodies at large and make us feel incredibly good. The absolute best herbs for relaxing and restoration are a category called nervines. These are herbs that work specifically on our nervous system. All are holistic healers, while also having their own unique benefits (as is the case with basically all herbs). We decided to interview Rachelle Robinett on what herbs to take to de-stress, relax, and restore. Keep reading for more on this topic!

These are the Top Herbs to Take to Destress, Relax, and Restore

  • Milky Oat Tops: Like a food for the nervous system, and especially helpful for stress-induced emotionality, and grief. Can and should be used daily, long term!
  • Lavender: My absolute favorite plant for peace. In tincture or capsule form, the physical relaxation this plant gives is very much like a glass of wine. It is excellent for all ages and in all forms.
  • Passionflower: This is great for recursive thoughts, and anxiety.
  • Lemon balm: Gentle mood life, happy nervous system relief.
  • Chamomile: Especially for anyone feeling fussy. It’s also a great muscle relaxer and carminative, which means it’s great for digestion.
  • Valerian, Hops, California Poppy: These are heavier nervines with sedative effects that make them fantastic for sleep. Lower dose valerian is also used for panic attacks or daytime anxiety that needs a stronger solution. We’re obsessed with taking these kind of herbs for this purpose. These nervines provide fast relief so they can be used for acute situations. Taken regularly, they’ll help rebuild our nervous system and restore tranquility.
