How to control anxiety with herbs
TCM, or traditional Chinese medicine has been around for thousands of years, and recently has gained popularity in the united states. the days of western elitism are gone as more and more of their "primitive" remedies have been scientifically proven to have merit. Major drug companies have spent billions of dollars researching these "new" organic compounds that the Chinese have been employing in their medicines for centuries. The following mixture is a traditional Chinese preparation of two herbs that i have found to have real therapeutic benefits. They are potent anti-anxieties but unlike synthetic western medications, do not have a risk of dependency or abuse.
Things You'll Need:
valerian root (1 oz) overlain (1 oz) hot water a tea ball
1
Make sure that both of the herbs are completely dry -if they aren't, the tea that they produce will not be potent enough. Also, dice them up into small pieces that will fit into the tea ball.
2
Pack the tea ball completely full with a mixture that is two part valerian root and one part vervain. Boil three pint of water add the tea ball and remove from heat. Cover the pot or teapot and allow the tea to steep for at least twenty minutes and up to one hour.
3
after the tea is properly steeped one small cup at breakfast or lunch, and a larger cup (the rest of the preparation) at bedtime. If you experience any stomach discomfort try adjusting the amount of tea that you imbibe to four small cups per day, before each meal and once at bed time.
Tips & Warnings
Warnings: make sure that all of the tea has been removed before drinking. Vervain has an extremely bitter taste. If you are taking any medications, consult with a physician before using drinking the tea.
