Detailed Answer:
Hi,


Lorazepam is a prescription medication from the benzodiazepine class that is commonly used to treat anxiety and provide a calming effect. Over-the-counter (OTC) supplements may not have the same potency or mechanism of action as prescription medications, but there are some supplements that people use for relaxation and to promote a sense of calm. Keep in mind that the effectiveness of these supplements may vary from person to person, and their safety profiles can differ as well.


1. Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb used in Ayurvedic medicine. It is believed to help reduce stress and anxiety and promote a sense of calm.

2. Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri): Brahmi is another herb used in Ayurveda, known for its potential cognitive-enhancing and stress-reducing effects.

3. Jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansi): Jatamansi is used traditionally for its calming properties and is believed to help with anxiety and insomnia.

4. Holy (Ocimum sanctum): Holy also known as Tulsi,It is considered an adaptogen and may help with stress management and relaxation.

5. Saffron (Crocus sativus): Saffron is a spice derived from the Crocus flower and is used in traditional medicine. It has been studied for its potential mood-enhancing properties.
