Did you know being in constant stress mode can cause anxiety?
Of course, simple things such as work, family, and life, in general,
can cause certain levels of stress, but when these things cause
constant worry is when you need to look out!
Why do I say this?
Think about it! The more you worry, the more likely you are to
look for “doom and gloom” around every corner. Always waiting
for the “other shoe to drop”… always visualizing impending
disasters that may not ever happen. It gets to the point where
it’s like a never-ending cycle of dread of real situations or
imagined possibilities that rule your life.
This is a sign of chronic anxiety. Being in a perpetual state of fear
over, well, just about everything.
“Think about it! The more you worry, the more likely you are to
look for “doom and gloom” around every corner.”
Did you know chronic stress and anxiety not only cause
damage to your body but can also alter your brain
chemistry?
That’s right! These things not only damage your body but quite
literally rewires your brain! While scientists are still discovering
the many changes that take place, they have noted certain
regions of the brain can become hyperactive while other regions
may atrophy and even shrink. Also noted were how the levels of
neurotransmitters and their receptors change as well. Even if you
manage to reduce the stress in your life, your brain has already
gone through many changes at this point and may need support
to restore its balance.
So, where do you find supplements or support to regain
that balance?
Unfortunately, we’ve been raised in a world of “Big Pharma”
where their solution is to keep trying this pill or that pill, or
maybe we should take another pill in conjunction with that pill to
balance out the side effects.
“What do you mean, that didn’t work? Well, I guess we need to
increase your doses or try a new prescription!”
Ahhh, yes! The Rockefeller practitioners of “Pharmakeia” are at
hand!
They will scoff at you if you even consider a holistic means, such
as CBD Oil, to cure the problem. After all, they need to turn you
into a pill-popping animal to get their bonus pay from the
pharmaceutical companies so they can take their families on that
awesome vacation they have planned!
“The Rockefeller practitioners of “Pharmakeia” are at
hand!”
That’s right! They don’t want you to know that CBD products are
growing in popularity as anti-anxiety supplements. They don’t
want you to know there has been significant research that shows
CBD is not only useful to treat anxiety, but many other
neurological disorders as well without causing psychoactive
effects (meaning, it won’t get you “high”).
How CBD Combats Anxiety
Cannabidiol has many targets throughout the body. This makes it
difficult to pinpoint the sources of its many different therapeutic
properties. Current studies suggest that CBD counters anxiety by
stimulating neurotransmitter systems and neural regeneration.
Not only that, CBD specifically binds to 5-HT1A which is thought
to have the largest role in anxiety disorders. This means the use
of CBD can help counterbalance the brain damage caused by
chronic stress.
How much CBD do I need to take?
Well, the good news is according to a 2011 review on the safety
and side effects of CBD, it was found that continuous use of CBD,
even in higher doses like 1,500 mg a day, is well tolerated by
humans. That being said, it would probably be best to start small
with perhaps 20 to 40 mg per day. If that doesn’t turn out to be
as effective as you need it to be, increase your consumption in
increments of about 5 mg weekly until you find the perfect
balance that’s just right for you! Your overall well-being will thank
you for it!
