Valerian
I just started taking a "mood-boosting" supplement with Valerian root in it. The dosage says it's 55mg and I've been taking it twice a day like the bottle says.

What else is good for anxiety?
I like lavender a lot but I use it too much,

I later found a commercial version, Xlear, but it's hella pricey, so I've made my own for under $2--and $1.50 of that was the bottle itself ( Read more... ) -
