CBD interacts with receptors in your brain that regulate mood, helping reduce anxiety and stress while improving sleep and increasing overall wellbeing.
Studies have shown that adding CBD into your daily routine can help promote more restful nights of sleep, which will in turn lessen stress and anxiety-inducing effects. Try mixing a teaspoon of CBD tincture into soothing tea or popping one of our Calming CBD Gummies just before bed.
Reduces anxiety
CBD is an effective anxiolytic that works to relax the central nervous system by binding to receptors in our bodies’ endocannabinoid system – responsible for cognitive and physiological regulation – which regulates cognitive and physiological processes. CBD’s natural approach makes it a safe, non-intoxicating solution to stress relief without side effects associated with traditional anxiety medications.
Studies have demonstrated the ability of CBD to alleviate social anxiety disorder (SAD). One such study tested its impact on people suffering from SAD who took part in a simulated public speaking test (SPST), where participants who received 300 mg of CBD had significantly less anxiety compared to those given either placebo or 150 mg.
CBD oil for anxiety relief comes in various forms, from capsules and oil drops to gummies with precise dosages of CBD in each bite. Although these products can be easy to use and convenient, they may not suit everyone so it is wise to consult your physician prior to beginning taking CBD for anxiety.
Improves sleep
CBD can help ease anxiety-driven sleeplessness by soothing the nervous system and improving quality of restful slumber – an invaluable supplement for people suffering from insomnia or other sleeping disorders. According to one study, 65-75% of participants reported improved quality of rest after using CBD for one month.
Studies indicate that CBD does not interfere with our internal circadian rhythms, which regulate our feelings of sleepiness and wakefulness. However, CBD may alter microglial cell’s circadian rhythm.
For optimal CBD usage for sleep, take it an hour or two prior to bedtime and you should begin experiencing its effects soon after; timing depends on how it’s taken (edibles will take longer) as well as your individual biological makeup and sleep hygiene practices (not watching TV or reading at bedtime and avoiding late-night bright lights are essential components). Also try not taking any naps during the day!
Relieves pain
CBD can help ease both pain and inflammation. Studies have demonstrated its allosteric modulatory properties at micromolar concentration ranges for anionic ligand-gated ion channels such as GABAA receptors to suppress their currents [37].
A small 2019 study concluded that using topical CBD oil containing lavender and chamomile helped decrease pain levels among those suffering from fibromyalgia – an illness marked by widespread pain and fatigue. Furthermore, unlike prescription medications used in the study, no serious adverse reactions occurred from using CBD.
CBD can also alleviate neuropathic pain caused by conditions or injuries to the nervous system, such as conditions like nerve injuries. Neuropathic pain often manifests itself through symptoms like tingling, numbness and weakness in muscles. CBD has been found to alleviate such discomfort by increasing serotonin levels in spinal cord cells as well as decreasing opioid receptor sensitivity; moreover it can assist withdrawal from opioids by decreasing cue-induced cravings and anxiety while simultaneously lowering resting heart rate and salivary cortisol levels – further helping withdrawal from opioid withdrawal altogether!
Boosts mood
CBD interacts with serotonin receptors in the brain to increase levels of this “feel-good” hormone and help those suffering from depression or stress by stabilising mood and inducing feelings of calm. Furthermore, CBD works alongside an area called amygdala-hippocampal-cortico-striatal circuit which serves to manage emotions and alleviate anxiety.
