I've heard Kava is good for anxiety and L-Theanine for focus, and of course St John's Wort for depression but I've never tried that. Just Kava.

Im leery about Kava. My friend used this for years to help with sleep and ended up with liver transplant. Learn all you can about herbs. I may look into L-Theanine. I being treated for UTI now so I’m not putting anything new in my body still that situation is cleared up.

St John's Wort is linked to eye and vision issues. It also interacts with a lot of medications.

Ok well I just know what I know. I just used Kava as needed. Only heard about St John's Wort use and always ask your doctor for advice before trying herbal products for sure!

Some issues with asking your doctor is that they aren't trained in herbal medicines, so more often than not they won't have anything correct/up to date/at all regarding alternative treatments.

There’s a new thing I’m trying that is in a few things called Ashwagandha. I bought it in a butterfly pea tea 🦋 it’s also in some melatonin vitamins/gummies for Sleep. It’s helpful for both anxiety and depression! I had a cup of the tea and a couple hours later I felt a spark of happiness that I hadn’t felt in years! BLUE TEA - Butterfly Pea Flower Ashwagandha | Herbal Tea | 15 Pyramid Tea Bags | FARM PACKED | Iced Tea, Cooler, Cocktails , Mocktails | Caffeine - Vegan - Plastic Free - Premium Tin Pack https://a.co/d/7Si53iY Another thing I used too take 5-HTP (only the natrol brand because unlike spring valley it doesn’t say there’s any weird effects) I loved it tho, then I had lost the bottle lol 😂 and also L-Theanine.
