Sedative Herbs :Relax And Calm
Herbs have a range of sedative actions, that include pain-relief (analgesics), antidepressants, and anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), often combining two or more actions. They calm the nerves and relieve tension. In general herbal sedatives are milder than pharmaceuticals, however, if you are currently taking a prescription drug, please don't supplement with herbs - the results can be unexpected. Lemon balm is considered one of the premium herbs used as a sedative because of its effectiveness and safety.
