Stress is building up globally and more people are looking to natural herbs to relieve anxiety. COVID-19 crisis, economic shutdown are clear cut reasons for anxiety disorder in young adults to working-class and senior citizens. While it may take a few months for the situation to stabilize, the unease and restlessness may take a long time to settle down.

Ordinary medication is not a fool-proof remedy to respond to anxiety. It has its share of side effects. Herbal remedies are a time-tested remedy for prescription drugs. Nature has a treasure of herbal blends to fight anxiety without the annoying side effects. Let us find out the herbs and supplements that could reduce anxiety pangs.

1.   Cannabidiol

Cannabidiol (CBD), the key ingredient of a Cannabis plant, can bring a calming effect on the nervous system. The hybrid weed strain in correct THC to CBD ratio can alter the serotonin signals in the brain, which helps manage stress and anxiety. The National Institute on Drug Abuse confirms the effect of CBD on stress reduction and improving anxiety in the animal studies conducted.    

Dosage: In edible form, take 5 -10 mg of CBD. Tablet, liquid extract, topical cream, gummies, vape liquid are other substitutes of Cannabidiol.    

2.   Ashwagandha

A powerful rejuvenating herb, Ashwagandha can help reduce the level of the stress-causing hormone cortisol in the body. This calming adaptogen can help relieve muscle spasms and is also helpful in treating hypothyroidism. The leaves, seeds, and fruit of an Ashwagandha plant find their way in many treatments.     

Dosage: In tincture form, 30 to 40 drops thrice a day. In capsule form, 400 to 500 mg capsule twice daily.

chamomile tea is one of the herbs to relieve anxiety

3.   Chamomile

Chamomile is one of the most used calming herbs to relieve anxiety. Apigenin is one of the calming constituents used to tackle moderate-to-severe anxiety. According to a 2016 study published in Phytomedicine, half the people who took 500 mg of chamomile thrice daily for up to eight weeks reported a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms.        

Dosage: A cup of Chamomile tea before bedtime or in the morning. It also comes in extracts and tablet form.

passionflower is one of the herbs to relieve anxiety

4.   Passion Flower

The flavonoids and alkaloids in passionflower promote a relaxing effect. This plant has over 500 species effective in treating anxiety, insomnia, and restlessness. The climbing vine is suitable for warmer climates, not in freezing temperatures.   

Dosage: Herbal infusions, tea, liquid extracts, tinctures.

kava kava is one of the herbs to relieve anxiety

5.   Kava

Kava is the most researched herb for anxiety relief. This anti-anxiety remedy takes 15 to 20 minutes to relax the muscles and bring a calming sensation. Use it as an emergency remedy for acute anxiety. Consult an authorized practitioner before taking higher doses of Kava herb.  

Dosage: Tincture.

Happy International Women's Day to all the women c Happy International Women's Day to all the women crushing it despite getting less pay, less startup funding, less everything when it comes to business. Let's do more than recognize women.
In 2023, it's time to:
*Buy from women-owned businesses
*Give women a seat at the table, preferably the board
*End all male speaking panels
*Invest in women startups, including those focused on serving women
*Include more women in clinical trials
*End toxic work cultures
*Support paid maternity leave policies
*Fill the wage gap between men and women
*Donate to nonprofits serving women
*Let women take time off of work for painful periods without stigma or penalty
*Work harder to specifically include and apply all of these principles to women from marginalized groups such as black women, disabled women, LGBTQ women, and females identifying as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer.
And so. much. more.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
