4. It's always a good idea to thoroughly research herbals

before beginning use. Are you aware there are also many vegetables that are related to plants of the nightshade family to which your auto-immune pathology may react badly; hence awaken your immune system that would negatively impact symptoms of your chronic condition - biochemical pathways of "natural" therapies in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, for example, for a host of complaints are being more thoroughly understood every day.

Still, there are many other plant-based, herbal remedies, and dietary nutrients that have been widely studied or have anecdotal evidence as folk remedies in alleviating complaints of anxiety and sleep problems. Just do your own research and/or contact a functional or naturopathic doctor before trying another. They can help you perhaps choose the best-prepared, standardized, or dose required for therapy without, IMHO, seeking bigPharma relief.
