  Drink one cup of chamomile tea at night before bed, particularly if your anxiety affects your sleep. Chamomile has natural tranquilizing effects and reduces the stress chemicals released in the brain. Chamomile tea is readily available in most grocery stores, or you can make your own tea from fresh flowers. Boil 1 cup of water and remove from heat, adding the flowers and allowing to steep for 5 minutes before straining and drinking.

  Take Ginkgo Biloba supplements daily, one of the world's oldest herbal remedies. Ginkgo increases the oxygen levels in the brain, helping to promote feelings of well being, while reducing anxiety, stress and nervousness.
