Natural & Spiritual Tools For Helping Anxiety

Anxiety disorders are some of the most common mental health problems in the United States according to epidemiological studies. With new medications popping up left and right, many containing seriously unpleasant side effects, it’s no wonder why the population is looking for more natural remedies to help control their disorder. Luckily we have many great tips and tools for getting your anxiety under control so it no longer controls you!

CBD

CBD, short for Cannabidoil, is the second most prevalent ingredient in cannabis. It provides a calming, tranquil effect on the body & mind, can help with inflammation in the body, and helps to dispel any physical pain. The calming effect is what makes this a wonderful tool for managing anxiety and stress. There are no traces of THC in CBD isolate products, so you will not have to worry about “feeling high”. CBD comes in many different forms including oils, gummies, topicals, soft gels, vapes and infused into other foods like honey. Our favorite ways to take our daily CBD are through our Straight Hemp CBD oil and our Colorado Hemp Honey. 


Crystals 

If you’re in search of spiritual tools to help you with your anxiety, crystals are the way to go. Amethyst is a good stone for anxiety attacks as it helps balance the crown chakra, sending divine energy down through your body to fill it with joy and peace, clearing negative thoughts and emotions. Calcite (Blue, Green, Pink and Mangano) contains calming properties and are excellent at soothing & reducing stress, soothing the nervous system, and helps to release any emotional suffering. Blue Lace Agate is calming, promotes inner peace and helps you release any negative emotions you’ve been holding on to. Moonstone helps balance hormones and build emotional strength, dispels fears, stabilizes emotions and helps quiet raging thoughts. Black Tourmaline lifts you out of the vibration of fear, deflects negative energy away from you, and helps to release old energy to cleanse it, making space for light to enter. 


Meditation

 One of the best ways to help clear your mind and reduce anxiety is by meditating! Setting aside just five minutes of your day to meditate can positively impact your mental health. During meditation, you focus your attention and eliminate your many raging thoughts that may be clouding your mind, and it can result in a better physical and emotional well-being. If you are new to meditation we recommend searching up some guided meditation videos/audios on YouTube, find a comfortable spot at home, and get ready to unwind.
