Discussing natural alternatives to treat anxiety, a musician friend suggested I try GABA, it’s natural and\u00a0many musicians use it for performance anxiety. \u00a0GABA is an inhibitory molecule that slows down the firing of neurons, creating a sense of calm. Benzodiazepines (Such as Valium & Xanax) are sedatives that work as anti-anxiety medication by increasing GABA.\u00a0A study from the “Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine” found a 27% increase in GABA levels among yoga practitioners after a 60-min. yoga session when compared to participants who read a book for 60 min. The study suggests yoga may naturally increase GABA levels.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>GABA is is widely distributed throughout the central nervous system (CNS) and supports a relaxed state of mind. It\u2019s the most important and widespread inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that carry information between nerve cells or from nerve cells to other target cells. \u00a0<\/span>GABA helps to prevent over-firing of nerve cells and decreases overall neuron activities in the CNS. Over-firing can cause restlessness, spasmodic movements, irritability and anxiety. GABA is also utilized by the brain to create tranquility and calmness through the brain\u2019s metabolic processes. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
