Honey with all its health benefits for stress, anxiety and sleep issues. Honey has been proven to help anything from cuts to stomach issues to liver issues to heart issues.

Sceletium elevates mood and decreases anxiety, stress and tension. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, study done in Cape Town, [4] the results showed the attenuating effects of Sceletium on the threat circuitry of the human brain. Or less anxiety for people who speak English. Or we could trust the San people who have been using it for ages. Jan van Riebeek mentioned it in 1662. It is being developed as a pharmaceutical to treat depression, anxiety, drug dependence, bulimia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. [5] Indigenous people have been giving it to their babies to calm them, get them to sleep and deal with colic. And is it safe? No adverse reaction have been reported in the studies done on Sceletium in cats, dogs [6] and humans. [4] One study[7] reports "the plant is not hallucinogenic, and no severe adverse effects are known. Chronic use does not appear to result in a withdrawal state. Tinctures of the plant are useful clinically for treating anxiety, depression and stress." So yeah, it's safe. But more on this over here.
