It is a common observation that people tend to ignore their mental wellbeing. However, mental health is as equally important as physical health for leading a happy life. Stress, anxiety and all related psychological conditions take their toll on health like any other visceral disease. So, ignoring them continuously is really bad for the overall health of an individual.

Anxiety
Anxiety disorder is underlined by an excessive and irrational feeling of fear, apprehension, and worry. There is a misconception that symptoms of anxiety can get better with time. However, this is not the case at all. If you are leaving your anxiety untreated, it will eventually make your life excruciating. Aside from general anxiety disorder, there are several of its subtypes:
• Social anxiety
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Particular phobias
Panic disorder is the most severe form of anxiety where the affected individual suffers from very harsh physical symptoms.

According to the statistics furnished by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, more than 40 million US citizens are suffering from anxiety in any of its form. For anxiety disorders, cognitive behavioral therapies and different medications are a part of the standard treatment procedure. Some self-help techniques are also helpful in mitigating the effects of anxiety.

Medical Marijuana: An Effective Alternative Treatment for Anxiety
Not many people find any improvement in their condition through talk therapies with psychiatrists. On the other hand, anti-anxiety medications have some other issues that sometimes make the treatment of this psychological condition ineffective.
Side effects: Anti-anxiety medications certainly help in alleviating anxiety symptoms, but they come with a price. These medications take a toll on the patient’s body in the form of different side effects. These side effects many times push people to discontinue their treatment.

Increased tolerance: A continual use of these medications also builds a tolerance within the patient’s body against its effects. This means the prescribed dose becomes ineffective against anxiety and the patients resort to increasing the amount on their own and we all are well aware of the perils of medicinal overdose.

Medical marijuana has been studied for its therapeutic effects for anxiety, and the findings are very encouraging for the patients looking for alternative treatments. There are two significant actions of medical marijuana that makes it effective for the treatment of anxiety.

Regulates the Levels of GABA Neurotransmitter
Cannabidiol, a substance found in medical marijuana, increases the production of GABA neurotransmitters in the brain. It has been earlier studied that GABA deficiency is one of the leading reason for the onset of anxiety.

Inhibits the Production of Cortisol
Cortisol, also known as the stress hormone, is also responsible for aggravating the condition of anxiety. Medical marijuana also proved to be effective in lowering the levels of cortisol in the body to relieve anxiety.
These two physiological actions of medical marijuana—without any unwanted side effects—made it a suitable alternative for the treatment of anxiety. From Sacred Garden, you can get all the effective strains of medical marijuana that will help in tackling the condition of anxiety.

You gotta stop by Sacred Garden, they grow the best cannabis! Beyond the fact their strains are consistently more potent in THC than any dispensary in New Mexico, it’s the consistently-robust terpene profiles that elevate their flower to another level…
