This recorded presentation is from our 2019 MediHerb seminar series ‘Stress and Brain Architecture’.

This session is based primarily on the clinical evidence underpinning the use of a range of key herbs for calming anxiety. However, Kerry will also outline guidelines, informed by functional herbal therapy, that includes the use of traditional herbs. A discussion of the various manifestations of anxiety and insomnia is included. 

Topics covered include:

• The latest evidence for Valerian, Kava, Chamomile, Passionflower, Zizyphus and others, including a fascinating study on how Valerian might act in the brain
• Why Lavender oil now needs to be considered for anxious patients
