There’s no doubt about it: the past few years have been rough for most of us in America. A global pandemic, record deaths, lockdowns, an economic crisis, crazy inflation, and a few waves of civil unrest have certainly taken their toll on our mental and physical health. And indeed, a record number of American adults, almost 41% according to one recent study, have experienced some level of psychological distress since early 2020.
For the younger demographic, it’s even worse. 58% of adults aged 18 to 29 (that’s nearly 2 out of 3!) reported mental distress during this time. And the same trends can be seen in physical health, which is equally unsurprising given that a virus recently ripped through our country, leaving almost 1 in 6 Americans suffering long-term health issues. Many more of us felt the physical health tolls of being locked up for long periods of time, and often unable to access simple health services due to medical shortages.
And just to make things worse, these increases have made it even more difficult for many of us to find adequate treatment for our mental and physical health. In particular, in the field of mental health, it’s been getting harder and harder to find in-network appointments with therapists, and the rising healthcare costs make it prohibitively difficult to look elsewhere.
But from even the darkest storm comes a rainbow, and one of the most positive innovations to come out of the past few years has been the rise of home-based self-care. When many of us were stuck at home and had trouble accessing traditional healthcare, we started taking advantage of numerous readily-available products that could boost our mental and physical well-being. Necessity is the mother of invention, and when hard times called for it, we found creative solutions!
The mind and body are complex machines that do their numerous jobs with proteins, chemicals, acids, and other nutrients that stimulate parts of the body to do their jobs or stimulate the mind to send orders elsewhere in the body. These are all produced naturally, as a regularly occurring part of the body’s functioning, or as byproducts of what we ingest.
