Pure Calm works for me, October 1, 2011
This review is from: Native Remedies PureCalm, 50 ml (Health and Beauty)
My symptoms are that I occasionally get a jittery feeling throughout my body. I attribute that to anxiety. Sometimes the anxiety can lead towards panic (my heart beats faster than I'd like). Another symptom I have is occasionally a discomfort in my head. I can't really describe it. It's not a headache, but it almost feels like my head swells right above my ear. Strange, I know.
All this apparently stems from (what doctors say) was an alleged panic attack at work (a few weeks after I'd been told the company was downsizing... I'd been there over 6 years).
When I'm just jittery (anxious), (10-15 drops) of purecalm does the job. I typically do what it says and mix in a 1/4 cup of water.
I know the symptoms of what I'm experiencing pretty well now, so if the anxiety is a bit stronger, sometimes I combine purecalm with (6-8 drops of) lemon balm. I like taking the two of these together.
If I have an uneasiness in my head, I sometimes combine purecalm with mindsoothe. I don't like paying 30 bucks for this, and I take it sparingly, but it helps the crazy thoughts about what's happening to me and my body.
The last thing I have taken is valerian root. Dr. Oz said on tv one day that when people feel anxious, they should take Valerian root. But this product really should only be taken in the evening... seems to help with sleep.
Melatonin from Nature's Bounty helped when I couldn't sleep... it makes me drowsy.
Sweet Dreams or Sleep Time tea help in the same way purecalm and lemon balm do... relax and sip tea.
You can build a tolerance to herbs, which is why I do not take them regularly. It's nice that most these herbs act fairly quickly when symptoms arise, I don't have a tolerance to them (yet), and I have experienced no side effects.
So based on your symptoms, purecalm can work, and I do give it 5 stars, but I mentioned my symptoms because I've seen other reviews here and I don't always know what others are taking, thinking, or experiencing. I see some unfavorable reviews and I think it's unfair to bash a product if it's not used as its intended. Purecalm is for anxiety. If you are clinically depressed or have some phobia, I would not expect this to work. And in any case, people should be seeking help from a medical professional before resorting to these herbal products.
Note: The prices on these products do fluctuate, so check back periodically. Add to your wish list.
I've learned a lot over the past year... about breathing disorders associated with anxiety/panic, the importance of diet, exercise, sleep, and other herbs, so if you have more questions, or want to talk, feel free to email me. I'm weez2 at frontier dot com.
Good luck to you.

Seems to be Helping....., April 22, 2011
This review is from: Native Remedies PureCalm, 50 ml (Health and Beauty)
Seems to be helping but I have only been using this for about a week or so. I have a HORRIBLE time sleeping but I didn't expect this to help me with sleep. I just thought it would mellow me out enough to help me fall asleep, it does that & more. I fall asleep & STAY asleep! I just feel so calm most of the time now, although I'm under horrible stress because of a situation in my life right now. I don't even have to take this often, it seems to stay in the system long enough or at least the effects do. This bottle will last me a good while & it's certainly a good value for the money for what I have gotten in return from using this product. Thank you Amazon for offering this on your site & for the best price around. :-)

Stress Free, June 2, 2009
This review is from: Native Remedies PureCalm, 50 ml (Health and Beauty)
PureCalm is a great remedy for stress.I have tried out lot of medicines to get rid of my stress but nothing worked ,instead there were side effects which made me more stressed out.When I came to know about this medicine, initially was bit hesitant to take due to my past experiences. When I tried it for first time I could feel the difference,it was so much of relief and the great surprise was there was "No side effects".
