Lavender may also help for both anxiety (Lavender for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, nutritionfacts.org/video/lavender-for-generalized-anxiety-disorder/) and migraines (Lavender for Migraine Headaches, nutritionfacts.org/video/lavender-for-migraine-headaches/). I think the other other aromathery-related video is Wake Up and Smell the Saffron, though I have others on natural ways do reduce anxiety, including: • Improving Mood Through Diet (nutritionfacts.org/video/improving-mood-through-diet/) • Gut Feelings: Probiotics and Mental Health (nutritionfacts.org/video/gut-feelings-probiotics-and-mental-health/) • The Best Way to Boost Serotonin (nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-way-to-boost-serotonin/) • Plant-based Diet and Mood (nutritionfacts.org/video/plant-based-diet-mood/) • Herbal Tea Update Rooibos Nettle (nutritionfacts.org/video/herbal-tea-update-rooibos-nettle/) Natural, though, doesn't always mean safe. See, for example: • Plant-Based Bioidentical Hormones (nutritionfacts.org/video/plant-based-bioidentical-hormones/) • The Wrong Way to Boost Serotonin (nutritionfacts.org/video/the-wrong-way-to-boost-serotonin/) • Chamomile Tea May Not Be Safe During Pregnancy (nutritionfacts.org/video/chamomile-tea-may-not-be-safe-during-pregnancy/) • Some Dietary Supplements May Be More Than a Waste of Money (nutritionfacts.org/video/some-dietary-supplements-may-be-more-than-a-waste-of-money/) • Some Ayurvedic Medicine Worse Than Lead Paint Exposure (nutritionfacts.org/video/some-ayurvedic-medicine-worse-than-lead-paint-exposure/) Of course eating citrus is good too! I have videos on Reducing Muscle Fatigue With Citrus (nutritionfacts.org/video/reducing-muscle-fatigue-with-citrus/) and Keeping Your Hands Warm With Citrus (nutritionfacts.org/video/keeping-your-hands-warm-with-citrus/), but Tell Your Doctor If You Eat Grapefruit (nutritionfacts.org/video/tell-your-doctor-if-you-eat-grapefruit/). Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at nutritionfacts.org/video/orange-aromatherapy-for-anxiety/ and he'll try to answer it! www.NutritionFacts.org • Facebook: www.facebook.com/NutritionFacts.org • Twitter: www.twitter.com/nutrition_facts • Podcast: www.bit.ly/NFpodcast • Subscribe: www.bit.ly/nutritionupdates • Donate: www.NutritionFacts.org/donate
