A good review. Check out table 5 which lists botanicals and supplements commonly used to treat anxiety disorder. Benzodiazepines are not recommended as first line therapy, and it’s not recommended for long term use due to adverse reactions, risk of the patient becoming dependent, and higher mortality with its use.
