Looking for best herbal/natural bento

[Katrina]

Hi Everyone,

New to this site. I have had a lot of luck with kratom for pain relief. Does anyone know if there's a kratom-like substitute for the anxiety relief of benzos? I have tried kava kava, valerian root, turmeric, and nothing is giving me quite the same relief that benzos do, but I'm trying to stay away from them. I've looked at the "legal high" site but I honestly don't know what I'm looking for yet. I'd like a highly sedating, relaxing natural substance, if one even exists!

Thanks for your help!

Hey hun,

I experimented with natural benzo-esque substances for quite a while and the best ones I found were kava kava, valerian root, blue lotus and california poppy. All of these can be found on theinternet. Nothing will never quite match actual benzos. Might I suggest using one of these natural herbs in conjunction with some bud? A nice indica like grandaddy purp even on its own can have some wonderful anti-anxiety properties mixed with a nice euphoria. Best of luck!

I love blue lotus tinctures, except the ones on ebay; they taste horrid and do not relax.  I'm still not sure what the best source is.  It doesn't put me to sleep, but it's great for panic attacks.  They also say it has aphrodisiac effects, but that only happened to me once as I got hi; it's hit or miss, sometimes a benzo buzz, usually just a background calm.  I keep running out of the stuff.  What's the best brand?  If I like it, I'll stock up on a larger size.  I miss it.

Don’t bother buying gaba supplements. The Gaba doesn’t cross the blood brain barrier so you’ll get nothing but placebo. Otherwise Gaba would be your best bet. You have phenibut but that’s just as harsh as benzos. Some people get good results from Theanine and Lions Mane. Beta blockers like Clonidine also work wonders for anxiety if your willing to go that route.

Picamilon is gaba that's made with niacin in a way that lets it cross the blood brain barrier unlike gaba alone.. You can only dose so much before the negative niacin effects start. You can't just buy gaba then add niacin when taking it as that's not how it works. Its physically addictive not as bad as phenibut I presume but its still not a good idea to use to often.

I tried all types of kava, multiple days and weeks at a time. Concentrates regular etc and nothing.

Yeah I didn't grt anything from kava either. I really wish I did. Everyone says it's awesome but I've tried it so much and nothing. Got a big old bag just sitting here I'll probably never touch again
