There’s been a collective sigh of relief from those who suffer with anxiety or PTSD related issues in Noosa, thanks to the help of an expert team at Budding Wellness.
The new medical centre and dispensary in Noosa Junction has been receiving rave reviews, with Dr Cheyne Mitchell and his pharmacist business partner, Alya Abdulmaksoud, feeling pleased to join the community.
“It’s been satisfying hearing positive feedback regarding the relaxed professional feel of the clinic,” Dr Cheyne said.
“We treat a large number of patients that suffer with anxiety or PTSD related issues; it’s been a delight to hear from this group of patients in particular that they feel safe and cared for attending the clinic.
“The easy physical access to the clinic with parking and public transport options benefits our more elderly and chronic pain patients.”
Budding Wellness provides a holistic approach to patient care, and Dr Cheyne has taken the time to explain exactly what this means.
“Patients have distinct understandings of what quality of life means to them. Perhaps a better night of sleep is a key goal, maintaining a physical hobby, or just being less stressed and able to notice life positive experiences without anxiety getting in the way,” he said.
“Whatever the particular goals, we seek to combine existing treatments, endocannabinoid support medications and lifestyle interventions to most effectively improve quality of life.”
The endo-cannabinoid system is an important regulatory system that exists in the human body with receptors located in every organ.
“Its functions are largely directed towards maintaining balance, or homeostasis,” Dr Cheyne said.
“The endocannabinoid system has wide ranging impacts on body processes such as pain transmission and perception, the sleep/wake cycle, the balance between fight or flight and more relaxed states for the nervous system, appetite/ nausea, regulation of the immune system and control of inflammation.
“Supporting the function of the endo-cannabinoid system, which is known to degrade in the setting of chronic disease, helps to improve the outcomes associated with the processes under its control.”
