With the ever increasing emotional and physiological demands of modern living, anxiety and stress is certainly a factor in the lives of most. We are always thinking, solving, doing, and constantly moving. Our bodies, which are intricately designed quantum machines, are not built to withstand the constant influx of artificial information coming at them at all times. We have become largely alienated from nature, our most important guide and teacher, and as a result our bodily cycles have become out of sync. This affects every system of the body, leading to the ever increasing number of people who suffer from chronic and acute physiological and psychological disorders.

Anxiety and stress are the body’s way of communicating that something is out of alignment. If we are living our lives in such a way that we are in a constant state of anxiety and stress, it is incredibly important that we take the time to reflect and go within. It requires paying attention to the body when it communicates with us, and this takes practice. If we don’t learn to listen to our bodies when they speak to us, we will be forced to listen when the screams of disease have arrived. Our immune systems cannot function properly when we are in a state of fight or flight, and constant stress is a major factor in this unfortunate process.

There are many different modalities to assist in the reduction of stress and anxiety, but the most important thing to focus on is reducing the amount of fight or flight your body is experiencing. Plant medicine has been used for thousands of years as a means to restore balance in the body and mind. Cannabis provides soothing plant wisdom that calms our nervous systems, allowing us to reconnect with the part of ourselves that is guided by nature. CBD and THC are potent neurotransmitters that cause the central and peripheral nervous system to relax and vasodilate, meaning the blood vessels are actually relaxing too. This causes an emotional and physiological release.

When we are in a state of comfort in our bodies, it becomes much easier to communicate with the part of ourselves that knows what is best for us. If we are constantly running around, stressed out in our thoughts, we cannot hear our higher selves speaking wisdom to us. Cannabis aids in this process by bringing us home to ourselves. The sesame oil based CBD tincture #101 ACDC is a wonderful product to try if you’d like to incorporate a gentle plant teacher into your life. Because it is made of sesame oil, it is liposomal, bypassing the liver, making it very fast acting, and easy to work with. Figuring out the dose that works for you is simple, and can be adjusted over time. Cannabis can assist in guiding you to a sense of peace, which is the key to accessing parts of ourselves that reveal the answers to what ails us. There is no greater wisdom than that of nature, always remember that you are nature embodied in flesh. The gifts of nature are always abundant, and when we remember our roots and get back in alignment with nature, miracles happen.
