In this episode of 'The Nourished Nervous System,' I delve deeply into the world of herbs that support the nervous system. 

I share personal experiences and professional insights on five key herbs: Chamomile, Milky Oat Tops, Passionflower, Tulsi (Holy Basil), and Ashwagandha. 
I explore each herb’s unique properties, benefits, and applications. 

Chamomile is celebrated for its calming effects on the gut and immune system, while Milky Oat Tops nourish the nervous system and ease stress. 

Passionflower helps to quiet a busy mind and combat insomnia, whereas Tulsi offers an uplifting, adaptogenic support. 

Lastly, Ashwagandha is highlighted for its rejuvenative qualities and its role in managing stress and anxiety. 

Practical tips for growing, sourcing, and using these herbs are provided, making this episode a rich resource for anyone interested in herbal remedies for nervous system health.
