Harmony: 5 Benefits for Emotional Wellness

At Earth Resonance we believe in medicine from the Earth, not a lab. We are highly selective in what we add to our product line. Besides our famous Natural Psilocybe we have developed a new product called Harmony to support a balanced mood and promote a positive life.
 
The balance of mind, body, and spirit enables you to feel content and at peace with yourself and those around you. Microdosing psilocybin taken for therapeutic purposes can give many benefits. However, the integration phase that follows is crucial for maximizing the benefits of microdosing. To support your integration Cycle, Harmony helps to find balance in your life

While there are various methods to promote harmony, the use of supplements can be helpful. The Harmony supplement can be a valuable addition to the integration cycle or when you feel you need to to take care of your emotional well being. Here are five ways in which it can help promote harmony.
    
 
1. Reduce Stress Levels
Rhodiola rosea has been shown to modulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which regulates the body's response to stress, thereby reducing symptoms of stress, such as fatigue and exhaustion.(1)

2. Improve Cognitive Function
Ashwagandha's bioactive compounds, such as withanolides, have been shown to have neuroprotective effects and enhance brain function. (2) A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study found that Ashwagandha supplementation significantly improved cognitive function, attention, and information processing speed in healthy individuals. (3)


3. Promote relaxation
5-HTP, a precursor to serotonin found in Griffonia Seed, has been shown to promote relaxation and regulate mood. (4) In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 5-HTP supplementation led to a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms. (5)

4. Enhance Sleep Quality
Ashwagandha's ability to modulate GABA receptors, involved in sleep regulation, is responsible for its sleep-enhancing effects. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that Ashwagandha supplementation improved sleep quality and reduced sleep latency in individuals with insomnia. (6)


5. Boost Energy Levels
Rhodiola rosea's ability to increase ATP production in the body, which is the energy currency of cells, is responsible for its energy-boosting effects. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that Rhodiola rosea supplementation significantly improved physical performance and reduced fatigue in individuals with fatigue-related disorders. (7)
