Now of course I would always recommend breathwork, frequencies and some mindset work.  (And probably cannabinoid or mushroom to start)

Let’s dive into the chill zone with these ten super cool ways to start mitigating anxiety.

Imagine a cup of tea without the jitters. That’s L-theanine for you! Found in green tea, it’s like your personal calm-inducer. Slip it into your routine for a smoother ride through life’s twists and turns.

**4. CBDA (The Calm Drop):

CBDA’s the cool cat of the plant world. It doesn’t give you the high, but it can give you some major chill vibes. It works similar to medication on the serotonin receptors directly.  Major plus? Its also a natural NSAID and amazing for pain too!

Remember sipping chamomile tea as a kid? Well, it’s still here to rescue your adult self from anxiety’s clutches. Sip on this floral elixir and feel the tensions melt away.

**8. Rhodiola (The Energy Booster):

When anxiety tries to zap your energy, rhodiola steps in as your superhero. It’s like a natural energy booster with an anxiety-fighting twist.

**9. Ginkgo Biloba (The Brain’s BFF):

Say hello to your brain’s sidekick – ginkgo biloba! This plant pal supports cognitive function and might even give your mood a little lift.

**10. St. John’s Wort (The Sunshine Herb):

Just like sunshine lifts your mood, St. John’s wort is here to brighten your day. It’s like a natural mood-enhancer, helping you keep the blues at bay.

A Quick Word of Wisdom:

While these supplements and plant medicines can be helpful allies, remember that they’re not one-size-fits-all solutions. Your body is unique, so what works like magic for someone might not have the same effect for you. Always chat with a friendly healthcare provider before adding anything new to your routine. And hey, combining these natural helpers with a dash of self-care, exercise, and good vibes will create the ultimate recipe for keeping anxiety at bay.
