Herbal Remedies for Hypochondria

Hypochondria is an abnormal preoccupation with one's health, even to the point of creating the very illness one is worried about. It can be accompanied by depression and anxiety. Spiritual and emotional counseling is often valuable.

An herbal program can include relaxing herbs, anti-anxiety herbs, and mood-lifting herbs.
