6. Chamomile tea
Two very special chemicals found in chamomile tea, apigenin and luteolin, are known to promote relaxation and lessen the symptoms of anxiety. Taking chamomile supplements or sipping the flavorful tea is a wonderful and quick way to feel relaxed and calm anxiety symptoms.
In an experimental study by the University of Pennsylvania, patients fighting generalized anxiety disorders were given chamomile supplements for six weeks, while others were given placebos. The results were astonishing as visible change was observable in the patients who received chamomile supplements. They seemed much happier and content with greatly lowered anxiety levels.
