Prioritise your self-care with the best anxiety remedies

The Together Health Stress Aid is made with herbal extracts and is a food-based complex blending 11 food-based vitamins and minerals. It contains eight essential B vitamins, ocean-sourced magnesium and three key adaptogenic herbs (Schisandra, Ashwagandha and Rhodiola). Take one capsule a day to support your body during busy or anxious times and help your body manage how it responds to stress.

Customer Review: "I like this brand and buy quite a lot of their stuff. I don't take them daily, but these capsules are the best I have found for taking the edge off when I am feeling particularly stressed out, and they have helped me get to sleep a few times (depending on the stress level)."

This Ashwagandha supplement from Together Health is vegan-friendly, highly absorbable, gentle on the stomach, 100 per cent clean and free from artificial additives and processing aids. It comes with 30 supplements per pack; take one daily to help restore balance.

Customer Review: "I have been taking this supplement every morning for a morning now and the quality of my sleep has seriously improved. I fall asleep a lot faster and I feel energized most days when I get up. The capsules are also easy to swallow and they taste ok, so overall this is a great product for me."

There’s a lot of hype around cannabidiol (CBD), a popular natural remedy derived from the cannabis sativa plant. It has many reported uses, including reducing pain, treating acne, and easing anxiety. For a dose of CBD, we recommend these tasty gummies from Starpowa. They contain no additives, impurities or synthetic chemicals. Plus, they're vegan.

Our Review: "I took these gummies for a little while last year when I felt unhappy, burnt-out and anxious. They tasted great and I loved the apple flavour. I took two a day and I felt myself feel calmer and ready to tackle the day."

Recently, there has been a buzz online about the wonders of magnesium - and how it settles down all those thoughts that keep you up at night. For a peaceful night's sleep, we recommend Magnesium, paired with Zinc. Aside from the other essential roles it plays in our body's function, there is reason to believe that magnesium may improve brain function. Specifically, research shows that magnesium plays a role in regulating neurotransmitters, which send messages throughout the body. These 90 tablets may support the mind, as well as your nervous system and bones.

Customer Review: "After a few days of taking these my chronic water retention issue has gone - I didn't even know these would help that until after I read up about them in more detail! I take 2 before bedtime each day, originally to compliment vitamin b-complex for better mental health, absolutely delighted."

Since the second century A.D., Valerian has been used to ease insomnia, anxiety, and nervous restlessness. It comes from a pink flowering plant native to Europe and Asia. So, it's been a historical remedy to anxiety. As well as these Kalms tablets, you can get the plant's dried roots in the form of capsules or oral drops. It may take a week or so for the root to take effect, so sit tight if you choose this remedy - and use it sparingly.

Customer Review: "I’ve used these off and on for years and think they do a great job. I tend to get very tight muscles in my neck and shoulder which can lead to earache etc and I don’t like using painkillers. A couple of these twice a day does wonders for relaxing the muscles … as does staying off my IPad for a day! They also help me sleep if I’ve had a hectic day. I’ve never taken more than 4 a day but it says max is 8. They don’t make me drowsy either so no problem driving. I find for occasional use they are great."

St John’s Wort is a traditional herbal medicinal product used to relieve the symptoms of slightly low mood and mild anxiety, based on traditional use only. It contains many active substances, including hypericin and hyperforin, which are thought to affect mood. Research suggests that St John's wort works in a similar way to standard antidepressant medication, by increasing the activity of brain chemicals such as serotonin and noradrenaline that are thought to play an important part in regulating our mood. These one-a-day tablets may ease your mood.

Customer Review: "I started taking these to try and lift my mood and I can definitely feel a difference. Will be buying again."

B-complex vitamins contain all eight B vitamins, which may help improve mood and reduce stress by either lowering homocysteine levels or maintaining healthy levels of this amino acid. When taken in a supplement form, it may relieve stress, boost cognitive performance, and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. This B Complex supplement from Together Health contains all eight essential B vitamins. Take one capsule a day to support your daily well-being.

Customer Review: "As a vegan, I've been a little concerned my B-vitamin count was low. It's less about my B12 intake, which is already controlled like the Veg1 tablets. It's the rest of the B vitamins. So, I thought I'd try these. I take one before sleep each night. I'm sure that I have a better night's sleep when I do take them, compared to when I don't. I've not even googled to look into whether this is a scientific likelihood. I just feel more refreshed in the morning.
Although they are pretty expensive compared to all other B-specific supplements, and the claims about how they're manufactured look like crazy pseudoscience, I'm going to keep with them for the moment."

Next, we have Rescue Remedy. This Passion Flower supplement has been around for a long time and uses a combination of five natural flower essences. A passion flower is a climbing vine with white and purple flowers which contain chemicals that have calming effects. Native to the Americas, it's been traditionally used to help with sleep. It is a liquid supplement, so it would be a great choice for those who don't like taking tablets.

Customer Review: "A few drops in my morning juice helps me get set for my day. Highly recommend a try if like myself you need gentle help to overcome anxiety."

These Vitamin D3 K2 supplements from Howard & James contain 4000iu of vitamin D and are one of the best high-strength supplements on the market. Believe it or not, most people in the UK are vitamin D deficient. Vitamin D is one of the most important nutrients that help balance mood and keeps your brain healthy, so a deficiency may also be tied to other mood disorders, including anxiety. There are 120 in each bottle to be taken once daily. The 100ug tablets also contain no artificial flavours, colours, preservatives or sweeteners and are suitable for vegans.

Customer Review: "Had a Vitamin D deficiency that was treated by my GP 6 years ago. Ever since when the winter months come I feel drained. Vitamin D was recommended however it only helped a little. These seem to work great and I'd say it's down to the Vitamin D and K2 mix. It seems to make all the difference. It works better if you cycle on and off giving the body time to adjust."

Arguably our favourite - and most unique - supplement on this list, we have DIRTEA. They're a leading name in the functional mushroom industry, and their powders can be implemented into your diet easily - just like protein powder. Reishi mushroom has been known for its special ability to help manage anxiety, as it can calm the nervous system and reduce stress. These adaptogenic fungi are natural, safe to ingest and have health benefits across the board.

Customer Review: "I've found Dirtea Reishi to be so helpful to have a good and restful night's sleep. It tastes very bitter but I quite like it and drink it like a before-bed espresso shot."

Satya is hand-rolled in India - each pack contains 15g of Incense sticks, which is approximately ten incense sticks. There is a huge range of scents - from calming meditation aids to spicy warm, or fresh cleansing aromas. For remedying anxiety, we recommend Lavender, Frankincense, Ylang-Ylang, Chamomile and Rose. We're impressed by this large range**,** coming with more than 50, ranging from lavender to romance to meditation.

Our Review: "Another favourite from Spirit & Destiny, you can't go wrong with Satya. They have a great range of scents, even blends that smell great. I love their Opium scent, especially. As for burn time, the smell lingers for hours."

Just like chamomile tea, this essential oil is light and earthy and distilled from the chamomile flowers and leaves. This naturally calming essence balances your emotions and helps to ease stress.

Beautiful, this elegant bracelet is a stunning piece of jewellery. And, it has another purpose. Plated in 18k Gold, this pendant opens to hold a wool bead, ready to diffuse your essential oil. To apply, put 1-2 drops in your pendant and wait for the relaxation. It's the perfect gift for any loved one who loves aromatherapy.

Our Review: "This is a breathtaking bracelet. It arrives in a wonderful box which would make it a fabulous gift. I love that you can choose which sent you wish to put in. The aromatherapy oils are really strong and a few drops will last all day. I found the whole process relaxing. When I feel stressed just putting my wrist to my nose is a great way to remind myself to take a bed breathe and exhale any negativity."

The soothing properties of Lavender Oil help calm the mind, improve relaxation and promote a good night’s sleep. Lavender is perhaps most associated with sleep; however, its soothing properties help calm the mind and improve relaxation. With a sharp sweet freshness and an underlying note of warm spice, this scent blends well with Bergamot, Clary Sage and Geranium.

Inspired by one of Vincent van Gogh's favourite subjects, this is a scent to signify the first buds of spring.

Customer Review: "Fantastic product - smells gorgeous, is sensual, little goes a long way. I bought this product from a supermarket at £6 about 5/6 years ago, so it is very pricey now. But because it is so amazing I still buy it. Wish it did come back in supermarkets every now and again!"
