Anxiety can sneak up on us in the most unexpected moments, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, restless, or just plain exhausted. While prescription medications can help in certain situations, they’re not the only solution. Many people, myself included, are turning to natural remedies that promote calmness and relaxation without unwanted side effects. Let’s explore three tried-and-true options you can try today.
