Studies have shown that St. John's wort can reduce the efficacy of cholesterol lowering medications. I would strongly advise not to take it while you are on crestor.
For reducing stress levels try practicing yoga, Bhrami oil is good for head massage which can help you with good sleep and reduce stress to a certain extent
