I have some ginger. I'll take that. Any other suggestions?

Hi Kannon, I would suggest Passionflower tea, or tincture (in hot water) with honey and I would make it strong as in several tea bags per cup. Or go to the health food store and get a homeopathic remedy called rescue remedy. Carry it with you and add it to your water , tea or what ever you are drinking. It is a Bach flower remedy. This will de-stress you and then your other symptoms should settle down. Ginger is good for the tummy and will warm you up if it is cold where you are, but it won't calm your nerves.

I like the ginger chamomile idea as well, but Passionflower calms your nervous system and is stronger for when you get spun out. I love Kava root, but stress affects the liver, and Kava root is hard on the liver, so it may not be the best choice right now

sending you a big hug,
