We have started to see the visits from parents and their children with stress building as exams approach. Nutrients that are key for young people include fish oils for brain function, and magnesium as nature’s natural tranquiliser to relax for a good night’s sleep. This combination also helps support hormonal health.
When acute anxiety hits, what can you do in the short term as a quick fix?
Great products from Australian Bush flowers, such as their Focus Oral Spray supports sharp concentration and mental clarity, while easing mental overwhelm and scattered thinking.
Emergency Oral Spray is great for calming if panic sets in, I also like the Rescue Remedy pastilles that provide not only the rescue formula but a good distraction tool!
Supplement-wise for an immediate impact is the excellent L-Theanine & Lemon Balm from Viridian which has natural anti-anxiolytic properties. Theanine comes from green tea for focus and can be useful in stopping racing thoughts, while lemon balm (the lovely lemony leaf that grows in our gardens) enhances calm. Together they work within about half an hour to just provide a little pause and a little distance.
