Some were beneficial, some were not so much.
I have GERD, IBS, a stomach ulcer, and scoliosis.
Are there any supplements for anxiety that don't interfere with said conditions?

Ashwagandha is known as one of safest herbs with strong stress relieving properties and nervous exhaustion tissue damage repair. Started about a week ago, calming yet energizing.
Two days ago, purchased The One Earth Herbal Sourcebook a couple days ago. Favorite and recommend it. The book is set up more for herbal practitioners.
Lists a main "general" condition such as Lungs. Lists basic herbs. Then more specific symptoms..asthma specific herbs.......dry mucus specific herbs...wet mucus specific herbs. Reference to blending and building herbal formulas. Also has a on prescription drug interactions per condition and chart at back of book.
Anxiety and IBS are conditions listed in the book.
The herb specific information is a starting point. I don't have any of the listed herbs. Researched property type and found a same property herb I do have. Experiment with the two herbs.
I keep detailed notes on new herbs. Obvious reactions internal external including bowels movements, skin etc. Outdoor weather is sweating herb related or humidity, etc.
Depending on herb type...faster acting or longer term is number of days. Then condense personal info on herb card and add herb to specific property type, etc. So I can cross reference personal experiences and add and/or subtract herbs based on personal needs.
