Welcome back to Anxiety Slayer. I'm Shan Vanderbilt here with my business partner and wonderful friend Ananga Severe.

We come together weekly on Skype to share anxiety Slayer sessions with you and enjoy answering listener questions from our inbox and

Facebook page. Today we're going to be talking about our favorite natural remedies

to ease anxiety and calm your precious mind.

Welcome back, Ananga.

Hi Shen.

As you know, we're often asked about natural remedies to ease anxiety and calm our minds and we talk about a lot of

them kind of peppered throughout our podcast but I thought it would be a good idea today to share a little bit of information about some of our favorites that we can pass along to our listeners.

Let's begin with the Bach flower remedies and how you got involved with those and then pass them along to me and so many of our listeners and why there's such a good part of our anxiety relief toolkit.

I've mentioned many times in our podcast when I was in my youth I suffered with

awful anxiety and one day wandered into a little herb shop where they had big

screwed up jars all along the back of the shop, all these amazing herbs, Valerian and

Cammer flowers and all wonderful herbs all stacked up along and he had such a nice knowledge

of herbs, but he recommended bark flower remedies to me.

The wonderful herb list called John Richardson. We're still friends today.

And he recommended rescue remedy, but he was a bark flower practitioner and he had this

fantastic little wooden case very old-fashioned wooden case with all the bottles in there

and he just used to get you a drop a bottle and some spring water and

mix you up your custom remedy. So the first time I met him he did that for me and I noticed

it helped it bought some calm and some peace of mind and then you'd go back to him and he'd

make the remedy more specific each time more suited to whatever you were going through and that's

how I first discovered barkflower remedies and I've been using them ever since.
