I struggle with anxiety. A lot. I have medication I take prn, but I try to use other things to calm the anxiety, such as oral St. John's Wort before I grab my script. When this salve was released and I saw all of the amazing ingredients, I knew I had to try it. It came in the mail - and something was said that caused me to inhale deeply and feel the anxiety start to creep in. I rubbed some of the Serenity salve on my wrists, behind my ears, and on my sternum. Within 10 minutes I realized that the anxiety wasn't increasing, but had lessened considerably and soon I was able to breathe normally and get on with my day. This is a salve that I will carry with me at all times!
