Chamomile tea is great for anxiety

As readers of this blog know, I'm am experienced when it comes to having to deal with anxiety (which I believe has given me great insight into this issue). One thing that I have been doing differently as of late is drinking a good amount of chamomile tea. What I do is, instead of using a single bag, I put two bags into a cup (makes it super concentrated). And I can just feel my anxiety melt away. I've read that chamomile acts like a mild tranquilizer and acts on areas of the brain similar to anti-anxiety medication. If you suffer from anxiety, I suggest checking it out, and giving it a good try (drink it for a few weeks). Of course take the necessarily precautions (like talking to your doctor, looking up side-effects, bad interactions with medications...etc.)

For me, if I drink a good ol' cup of chamomile tea right before class, it takes a huge notch out of my anxiety levels (I have mild social and generalized anxiety). My social anxiety is especially helped with chamomile because the "social anxiety" is just a really bad case of feeling awkward and not liking it (chamomile certain takes the edge off).
