Stress pushes your mind-body in the sympathetic nervous system to respond to a perceived threat. if the stress response is consistently being triggered, the consequence becomes maladaptive as resources are literally diverted away from the processes that define health, wellness and performance. by design, stress changes the mind-body from a proactive to a reactive state. proactive (parasympathetic) processes like digestion, detoxification, cellular and tissue repair, learning, neurogenesis, etc. are given fewer resources in order to prioritize reactive (sympathetic) state. this is fight or flight and it's only designed to run for a short period of time in response to a perceived threat. when stress is chronic, your mind-body doesn't return to a proactive state of resource allocation. more energy is used to fuel fight or flight (or freeze) than immune system, building new brain cells, repairing tissues, absorbing and processing nutrition, learning, etc. Nervous system relaxation. When the nervous system relaxes, you’re basically lowering mental and physical RPMs for better use of your energy and processing. you may notice your shoulders relax and your chest opens up for deeper, unrestricted breaths. you may feel relaxation in other areas carrying tension, like your jaw, eyes, hands and / or stomach. with a consistent routine, you may notice improved digestion, improved sleep, improved immune system, improved energy and improved mobility. Additionally, you may notice racing thoughts slow down and become more clear. you may notice your mind spends more time in the present rather than ruminating about the past or worrying about the future. you may notice your vision open up with better awareness of what’s going on around you. The benefit of a relaxed nervous system is typically noticed within 20 minutes of a serving. if you don't feel the acute effects of nervous system relaxation, be consistent with a daily routine for the entire bottle. we honor an unconditional return policy on all product for a year, regardless if it’s opened or not, so give this product a full chance to deliver results. Adaptation. balancing stress response. HPA-axis Adaptogens reduce time spent in the sympathetic state by preventing overreactions to stress. this is accomplished through calming the HPA axis (the system that coordinates fight or flight or freeze response). you will still deal with stressors on a regular basis, but adaptogens help “buffer” your stress response so pressures of daily life don’t trigger the excessive release of stress hormones. Calming the HPA axis reduces your mind-body's unnecessary stress load, giving you more bandwidth to process more productive challenges. Benefits of a balanced stress response are typically noticed between week 2 and week 3 of a consistent routine. The daily routine. The anxiety tincture should be taken consistently to build cumulative balance or “holistic momentum” toward lowered baseline tension and stress.Most clients find success with 2x-3x full droppers 2x-3x daily. the first serving is typically taken mid-morning and the second is taken shortly after lunch. for people who carry high tension into the evening, a third serving should be taken in the early evening. We don't recommend taking first thing in the morning. a cortisol increase when you first wake up is important for setting the circadian rhythm. let your mind and body “boot up” first thing and take the anxiety tincture at the end of your morning routine (ideally no earlier than 1 hr after waking up). Taking as needed. For some clients, the anxiety tincture is more calming than they want on a daily basis. these clients keep anxiety tinctures on hand only for exceptionally high-stress days. if you’re using the anxiety tincture only when you feel manifestations high-tension stress ramping up, take 3x-5x full droppers to calm your mind - body and keep you out of deeper states of tension. nervous system relaxation takes approx 20 min after serving. if high-tension stress isn’t smoothing out after 20 min, take another 2x full droppers. it’s not recommended to exceed 8x droppers in a 12hr period.If you’re using the anxiety tincture “as needed”, we highly recommend that you implement a daily adaptogen routine to strengthen resilience in your stress pathways. the goal is to reduce the frequency and intensity of high tension stress and you really need consistency to accomplish this. we recommend taking the ashwagandha tincture 2x daily (morning and afternoon) as a daily adaptogen and using the anxiety tincture as needed when you feel high tension stress ramping up. Additional recommendations. If you’re managing high-tension stress and you also drink coffee / energy drinks, seriously consider replacing high caffeine drinks with something that supports sustainable energy levels without putting additional pressure on your stress response / adrenals. we recommend trying our adaptive cacao and reducing your caffeine intake until your nervous system tension is at a manageable and productive level for a few months. the adaptive cacao can be taken alongside the anxiety tincture. recommended 1x daily in the morning. the adaptive cacao, taken consistently, can serve as your powerful daily adaptogen routine.
