Remedy for nerves

[Rubberduckie]

Can anyone recommend a herbal or homeopathic remedy for the extreme nervousness my daughter suffers from before music exams?

[Drisgirl]

Bachs Rescue Remedy is good as well as Kalms.They do work but in taking them they also have a placebo effect.Good Luck to your daughter.

I have suffered from anxiety for years and have tried almost every homeopathic remedy there is! Things like Kalms and Rescue Remedy have never done a thing for me, the only thing I have had that has worked is a little bottle of liquid called Aspen.

This is available from Holland and Barrett with a little dropper and is applied neat to your tongue, and I have always found it calming. However I also believe that different remedies work for different people and it is just a case of finding one that will work for your daughter

[Rubberduckie]

Thanks, both of you. I'll give them a go.

Two minutes or more of deep breaths, in through the nose, out through the mouth, takes practice, but apart from a calming effect, it gives you time to collect your thoughts, nothing to beat it.

I agree with Drisgirl. Bach Rescue Remedy is excellent. good luck

Hypnotherapy is excellent for this kind of problem. A couple of sessions reasonably close to the exam time shoud do the trick. Julia.
