Why Chamomile & CBD for Anxiety?
Chamomile has been used for centuries as a natural remedy to calm the mind and promote better sleep. It contains apigenin, a compound that binds to the brain’s GABA receptors, helping to reduce anxiety and induce relaxation  . Meanwhile, CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system to support emotional balance, reduce stress, and promote a sense of well-being  . When combined, these two ingredients create a powerful, holistic approach to anxiety relief.
