These episodes can occur at any time, and some people who experience panic attacks think that they may be having a heart attack or are dying. The feelings of fear that is felt are usually not in proportion to the actual situation at hand. This can also potentially trigger the body’s fight, flight, or freeze response.

Some of the other symptoms may include: Feeling a loss of control, breathing difficulties, a “racing” heart, feeling weak, faint, or dizzy, a tingling or numbness in the hand or fingers, a sense of terror, or impending doom/high danger, feeling sweaty or having chills, chest pains, etc.

Some of these symptoms are less common than others but are still possible during an episode. Generally, panic attacks last about 10 minutes or so, but some of the symptoms may persist for a while longer, depending on the person. If you have an anxiety disorder, there are medications that can be given to you by doctors to help alleviate the overall symptoms.

Some of these medications may include alprazolam (Xanax), chlordiazepoxide (Librium), clonazepam (Klonopin), diazepam (Valium), or lorazepam (Ativan). But what if you would like a more natural solution, or you do not want to take more prescribed medications due to worrying about the side effects?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the plant known for its potential therapeutic effects. With CBD rising in popularity over the past few years, several studies have proven that it can be used as a treatment for anxiety.

CBD helps to relieve stress by triggering the serotonin receptors in the brain to produce more cortisol. Cortisol is a specific hormone that is responsible for emotions. A study showed us that CBD can help reduce the symptoms of Social Anxiety Disorder, which affects about 18.1% of the US population.

One of our more popular recommended products would be our gummies! We have a few different products for different levels of anxiety, the strength of the gummies can differ between 10-50mg per gummy.  A tincture is also recommended for higher levels of anxiety.

Dementia is a group of conditions characterized by impairment of at least two brain functions, such as memory loss and judgment. Dementia is characterized by forgetfulness, limited social skills, and thinking abilities so impaired that it interferes with daily functioning.

Treatment for dementia includes rehabilitation therapy, occupational therapy, and prescribed medications. Medications used to treat dementia include Memantine, Rivastigmine, Galantamine, and Donepezil. Each prescribed medication contains negative side effects that include dizziness, confusion, headache, constipation, cough, high blood pressure, backache, fainting, vomiting, shortness of breath, fatigue, kidney failure, brain blockage, stroke, liver failure, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, tremors, insomnia, depression, mood swings, hallucinations and skin rash.

CBD is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects. Studies show that CBD may help improve dementia without the negative side effects of prescribed medications.

According to researchers at California’s Salk Institute, their 2017 study has found evidence that cannabinoids such as CBD could potentially help remove dementia from, and increase connections between, brain cells.There are three ways CBD may help to improve health outcomes for people with dementia.

CBD may help reduce inflammation, reduce oxygen buildup, and act as a brain stimulant and neuroprotectant. CBD may also reduce stress and anxiety in the individual with dementia as well as reduce the decline of memory and other brain functions.

Our AHS 3000mg Supreme Blend Tincture can be taken sublingually along with a Vici Scatter Brain patch that can be applied topically to help improve dementia.

Total joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which parts of an arthritic or damaged joint are removed and replaced with a metal, plastic or ceramic device called a prosthesis. The prosthesis is designed to replicate the movement of a normal, healthy joint.

Knee replacement may be an option when nonsurgical interventions such as medication, physical therapy, and the use of a cane or other walking aid no longer help alleviate the pain. Other possible signs include aching in the joint, pain after extensive use, loss of mobility, joint stiffness after periods of inactivity or rest and/or pain that seems to increase in humid weather.

Knee replacement surgery carries many different risks. Some result directly from the surgery, while others stem from the body’s reaction to the operation. Post op risks include infection, bleeding, blood clots, pain, swelling, breathing problems, nerve damage, allergic reaction and in some cases implant failure. Post op treatment includes exercise, using ice, compression devices, cleaning the wound and prescribed pain medications.

Medications used to treat post op pain include fentanyl, morphine, oxycodone, tramadol, acetaminophen, lidocaine, ibuprofen, naproxen, gabapentin and pregabalin. Each prescribed medication contains negative side effects that include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, insomnia, anxiety, skin rash, swelling, blurred vision, chest pain, cough, headache, diarrhea, mood swings, loss of appetite, low blood pressure, tremors and much more.

Studies show that CBD may help alleviate some of the complications that come with knee or joint replacement surgery without the negative side effects of prescribed medications. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects.

CBD acts as an anti-inflammatory, which makes it a great choice for chronic types of pain that are reoccurring and constant. This type of pain is normally found in everything, from arthritis to headaches, cramps, cancer-related pain, and muscle aches. As far as post-surgery pain management goes, CBD may help relieve some of those secondary symptoms, like headaches, muscle pains, arthritis, and other signs of inflammation. CBD may help relieve pain, relax muscles and joints, and improve sleep, which is vital to those recovering from any surgery.

Our AHS 3000mg Full Spectrum Supreme Tincture Oil can be taken sublingually along with our AHS 2500mg Custom Cream that can be applied topically to help reduce pain, swelling, inflammation and more.
