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.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects. Research shows that CBD may help alleviate insomnia without the negative side effects of prescribed medications. CBD may affect sleep directly by interacting with receptors in the brain that govern the body’s daily sleep/wake cycles. CBD may also help alleviate insomnia by combating the causes of sleeplessness. A common cause of insomnia is anxiety and stress.

CBD helps regulate cortisol, a stress hormone, which has a significant impact on sleep cycles. Studies found that CBD is beneficial for anxiety-related disorders and an increase in sleep quality. For those who struggle with sleeplessness due to chronic or acute pain, CBD offers a natural alternative to pharmaceutical pain relievers. CBD helps reduce pain-induced sleeplessness by working on the symptoms themselves rather than providing a sedative effect like many sleep-aids.

Our AHS 1500mg Tincture can be taken sublingually along with SoCal Hemp co 25mg Gummies to help alleviate insomnia. Dosing will depend on your level of insomnia, level 3-6 should take the 25mg gummies, level 7-8 should take the 1500mg tincture and level 9-10 should take both.
