Strains for Anxiety

Experiencing anxiety from time to time is a normal part of life for most people. According to the Mayo Clinic, common anxiety signs and symptoms include:

• Feeling nervous, restless or tense
• Having a sense of impending danger, panic or doom
• Having an increased heart rate
• Breathing rapidly
• Sweating
• Trembling
• Feeling weak or tired
• Trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the present worry
• Having trouble sleeping
• Experiencing gastrointestinal (GI) problems
• Having the urge to avoid things that trigger anxiety

In addition to these feelings of anxiety, there are several types of anxiety disorders, including:

• Generalized anxiety
• Social anxiety

Some anxiety results from medical conditions that require treatment. Cannabis has long been the natural medicine of choice to relieve the stress and anxiety associated with everyday life and responsibilities, and many consumers maintain that it is the most effective medicine they’ve found to deal with general anxiety, anxiety disorders, and panic attacks.
