Low energy and anxiety – alternative cures?
Throughout my life I’ve had issues with anxiety. I also sometimes have low energy/ am irritable to those closest to me. I am meditating, eating right, working out, sleeping 8 hours a night, but I still have these issues. (I also have tried therapy.) Does anyone know of other things that may help? Maybe herbal supplements? (I’m on birth control though – so no St. John’s wort) Or am I just stuck this way.
Thanks much.
It seems like the low energy may be related to your anxiety, and I bet treating your anxiety will help with your energy levels.
I find that what worked best for my anxiety is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It works better than meds, and was the only thing that truly helped me.

Also, some books that worked for me are:
-The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook by Bourne
-Mind Over Mood by Greenberger and Padesky
There are many great natural sedatives out there, but the true answer is that it depends on the individual. Some people respond better to an herb/medicine than others. It’s trial and error, really. What’s good for one may not work for you.
That said, the particularly strong ones are: Kava Kava and Valerian Root, either together or separate (together will be more sedating), 5-HTP or Tryptophan (do not use if you are taking any anti-depressants), Passion Flower, Biofeedback, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a tea or tablet with Valerian, Kava, Hops, Passion Flower, and/or chamomile.
Not as strong, but worth mentioning: Carbohydrates are sedating, warm baths (sleep is associated with a drop in body temp, so getting out of the bath will make you more sleepy), Calms Forte, warm milk, calcium and magnesum powder for tea like “Calm.”
Technically, alcohol is natural, but I would not suggest using it as a sedative due to its addictive properties and the fact that it is also associated with being stimulating and interfering with sleep and wake activities.
One word of caution: Natural meds are still drugs, in that they may have side effects and may interact with meds you are or will be taking. Please ask your doctor before taking any, or in the very least, look up for interactions online.
