Anxiolytic
Reduces anxiety
Anxiolytics reduce anxiety and nervous tension, easing a racing mind and the physical tension that travels with it. Herbal anxiolytics range from gentle daytime calmers to stronger, more sedating relaxants.
Anxiolytic is a sub-action of Nervine. Where nervine supports and calms the nervous system, anxiolytic is its narrower, more targeted form.
