Not in my experience. The things that work best for me, for stress, are lemon balm and passion flower supplements.

@purplepen Does lemon balm have any side effects?

Possibly, like sleepiness and lowering thyroid function. So it's good for a hyperactive thyroid.

@Science78 Great! Just make sure you Google the info on it too. The tincture is much stronger than the tea, but it has alcohol so if you are alcohol intolerant you can mix some lemon balm tincture with boiling water, let it cool a little, and sip before bed.

@purplepen Well id probably just take it as a supplement. But thanks anyways :)
