Cannabidiol

Cannabidiol, better known by the acronym CBD, is a naturally occurring compound found in cannabis. Don’t start quoting Cheech & Chong yet, because CBD won’t get you high. What it will do is effectively treat anxiety, nausea, insomnia, arthritis, and even seizures. With a wide variety of delivery methods, CBD tinctures and infused edibles to topical ointments and bath bombs, CBD is one of the most versatile anti-anxiety remedies around and is available from reputable websites online, including https://area52.com/.

Still, looking for your perfect match? Perhaps you need a CBD manufacturer who can provide custom cannabinoid formulations to meet your needs with experienced lab scientists to help you decide what ingredient is best for you.

L-theanine

And speaking of tastes, they don’t come tastier. If “L-theanine” is too technical-sounding a name for your tastes, try one: green tea. But green tea’s pleasing flavour isn’t the only thing it offers to those looking for some stress relief. The L-theanine found in green tea lowers heart rate and blood pressure, calms anxiety, and increases focus.

Kava root

Often referred to as a natural tranquilliser, researchers have shown kava root to be not only an excellent front-line treatment for generalised anxiety disorder but also one that doesn’t interfere with other forms of treatment. Kava root is non-addictive and non-psychoactive, ensuring that its power to steady nerves remains untarnished by severe side effects.

Magnesium

It’s not always a matter of external stressors; many physical issues contribute to anxiety. One such issue is magnesium deficiency. With an estimated 75% of Americans not getting their recommended magnesium intake, it’s no surprise that anxiety is such a common problem. Fortunately, magnesium supplements can help alleviate the condition and combat insomnia, calm muscle spasms, and regulate digestion.

Chamomile

Like green tea, chamomile tea isn’t just a tasty beverage. It’s also packed with natural chemical compounds that aid stress relief. Studies show that compounds in chamomile react with brain receptors the same way as Xanax and Valium. What’s more, if tea isn’t on your list of favourite drinks, chamomile can always be taken as a supplement capsule.

  3. I’ve heard great things about all those alternative therapies. I think it is important to remember that anxiety can come from a physical health deficiency too.
