While sufferers of Tourette's are often treated with pharmaceutical medications, there are a number of herbal remedies that can help diffuse its varying symptoms. Read on to learn how to make an herbal remedy for Tourette's.

Instructions

• 1

  Diffuse tremors and tics with teas made from chamomile, passionflower, skullcap, lady's slipper and wood betony. These herbal remedies can provide vitamins and minerals that relax the nerves and muscles. To make tea, add one tsp. of each herb to one cup of boiling water. Strain and drink three times a day.

• 2

  Take tinctures of St. John's wort or valerian root to help relieve muscle tension and relax nerves. Add 20 drops of the chosen extract to a cup of water and drink daily.

• 3

  Include wheat germ and avocados in your regular diet. These foods are rich in niacin, which is known to stop tics when accompanied by a healthy diet.

• 4

  Alleviate tremors by taking evening primrose, which can help to normalize the vital functions of the nervous system. Take two 500 mg capsules, three times a day.

• 5

  Drink herbal effervescent teas, herbal remedies that calm the senses. Teas such as Japanese green tea or eucalyptus help to relieve stress and tension, which can trigger attacks.
