Calming and Hormonal Herbs

Nervines for sleep and anxiety, and the herbs traditionally used across the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause. Several carry real interaction risks — St John’s wort with prescription drugs, kava with the liver — and those warnings sit on the pages, not here.

A herb is filed here by what it is traditionally used for, not by a claim that it works. Each herb page states its own evidence tier, its documented harms and its drug interactions — read those before the category name.
