Anxiety disorders mainly concern women, since there are approximately 1.5 to 2 women affected for a man. They mainly concern young adults since the age group of 25 to 44 years is the most concerned, that said we can find anxiety disorders at all ages of life including in young children.

If we consider the general population aged 18 to 65 over a year, 15% of individuals will present with an anxiety disorder during that year.

While 21% of 18-65 year olds will have an anxiety disorder at some point in their life.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 40 million adults suffer from an anxiety disorder in the United States, or 18% of the population. Depending on the severity of the anxiety, it can completely disrupt a life, between relationships, jobs and general well-being.

Many people either turn to pharmaceuticals, alternative remedies like herbs and supplements, or yoga and meditation to cure their anxiety. However,  weighted blankets are found to be effective in relieving many types of anxiety disorders.

Anxiety blankets have plastic granules sewn into compartments in the blanket, which helps distribute the weight evenly. The pressure from the weighted blanket acts to calm the person underneath, and the extra weight sends a message to the brain to release neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, inducing relaxation.

Originally, occupational therapists used weighted blankets on children with sensory disturbances, anxiety, stress, or autism. However, it has also been shown to help adults with anxiety disorders.

When it comes to the weight of the blanket, most adults prefer 7 to 15 pounds, but you should seek the advice of a doctor or occupational therapist before purchasing one.

However, those with breathing or circulatory problems should not use a weighted blanket unless it is approved by a doctor. We would like to mention that, in addition to anxiety, weighted blankets can help people with insomnia.

Many people with insomnia also have mental imbalances due to lack of sleep, so a weighted blanket can not only calm anxiety, but also help you get better quality sleep.

Due to the extra weight of the blanket, be sure to keep the temperature in the room relatively cool. In addition to the weighted blanket, you can also use a grounding mat to maximize the calming effect. Grounding basically means allowing your body to come into direct contact with the Earth, or with the help of a device that creates the same result inside.

In today’s world, exposure to EMF, Wi-Fi, mobile phone waves, and other forms of technology have increased our positive electrons, which have the opposite effect of grounding. Preliminary studies on earth have found that it can reduce cortisol levels, anxiety, reduce inflammation and chronic pain, improve sleep and energy levels, decrease menstrual cramps, normalize biological rhythms , And much more.
