Take on Stress with Naturopathic Medicine

The world’s population has had a huge toll taken on mental health. Between the global pandemic and other social issues, the collective mental health of society is declining. We are all feeling more stressed and anxious than before.

            Stress, in excess, is a core contributing factor of anxiety. Improving stress levels can be a very helpful tool in anxiety treatment. If you are looking for natural ways to combat stress and anxiety, B3, magnesium and ashwagandha are stand out contenders in the fight.

 

Vitamin B3 has a history of use for multiple mental health conditions and was originally used as a treatment for schizophrenia in the 1950s. Researchers have found similarities between B3 and the activity of benzodiazepines.

 

Magnesium seems to be the most commonly deficient nutrient, with research suggesting nearly half of individuals do not consume enough. These deficiencies are seen in higher numbers among seniors. Magnesium acts a neuroprotective molecule and as an important anti-inflammatory compound.
