Summary

Nervines are herbs that support the nervous system, and many can be used daily to help manage ongoing stress. This article explores what nervines are, how they differ from stronger sedatives, and how they fit into everyday routines. We look at plants such as lemon balm, chamomile, linden, and skullcap as examples of gentle daily allies. Rather than promising instant calm, the focus is on how these herbs help create a steadier baseline over time. This guide is ideal for people dealing with chronic stress, tension, or low-level anxiety who want to use herbs in a sustainable way.
