Cannabis and its' derivatives have been used as far back as 2000 BC to calm anxiety and stress. Anxiety, although common in everyday life, can become a dysfunctional disorder that includes multiple specific types:

• Panic disorder: Symptoms include sweating, chest pain, palpitations and unfounded feelings of terror often occurring with no warning and without reason
• Phobias: Fear of a specific object or situation that is incongruous to the object
• Social anxiety disorder: The inability to deal with everyday social interactions
• Generalized anxiety disorder: The most common of disorders, this disorder involves excessive worry and tension that is unprovoked

Generalized symptoms may include:

• Problems sleeping
• Cold or sweaty hands and/or feet
• Shortness of breath
• Heart palpitations
• Feelings of panic, fear, and uneasiness
• An inability to be still and calm
• Dry mouth
• Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet
• Nausea
• Muscle tension

As with other neurological disorders, the ability to “calm the brain” with CBD may be key in the treatment of anxiety in all its' forms.
