What is CBD Oil?
Cannabidiol or CBD is a compound found in the cannabis plant. There are hundreds of different compounds found in the cannabis plant with CBD and THC the most commonly known. Your body also produces some cannabinoids on its own as well.
What is the difference between CBD and THC?
THC is the compound most often associated with marijuana. It is what causes the high that cannabis or marijuana users experience. CBD is a non-psychoactive compound and does not have mind-altering effects.
How does CBD Oil reduce stress?
CBD works by attaching to the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the body. The CB1 receptors affect body functions such as mood, appetite, emotions, movement and coordination, your memory and cognitive function and more. THC attaches to the CB1 receptors. CBD attaches to the CB2 receptors which work closely with the immune system influencing inflammation and how you perceive pain. CBD also promotes a sense of calm and helps reduce inflammation.
Does CBD Oil help with anxiety?
CBD users often report that CBD Oil helps them feel relaxed, calm, in control of their emotions and they are sleeping better at night. People with anxiety often have an imbalance in hormonal levels, particularly serotonin. Serotonin is the hormone responsible for your mood, happiness and feeling of well-being. Regular use of CBD Oil helps your body maintain stable serotonin levels. This reduces levels of panic and depression allowing you to better manage anxiety.
Key Benefits of CBD Oil for Anxiety
Increased relaxation & sense of calm
CBD helps reduce the levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, in your body. This helps you stay composed in stressful situations. CBD also quiets racing thoughts and muscle tension that come with anxiety.
Improved sleep quality
Getting a bad sleep and anxiety go hand in hand. CBD calms your nervous system and lowers nighttime restlessness so you can get a deeper, restorative sleep. This will also help lower anxious thoughts during the day. Try our Full Spectrum CBD + CBN Gummies for Sleep for enhanced nighttime relaxation.
Clearer thinking
Regular use of CBD will improve your mental focus and clarity and reduce the mental fog that is a result of overstimulation or constant worrying.
Reduces physical symptoms of anxiety
CBD’s interaction with your body’s ECS can help lower an elevated heart rate and blood pressure caused by stress, helping you feel safe and at ease.
How to use CBD Oil for Anxiety
Start with a low to moderate daily dosage. Increase gradually based on how your body responds. For fast absorption, take CBD Oil sublingually (under the tongue) with effects being felt within 15 to 30 minutes.
For ongoing anxiety, best results occur when you take CBD oil at the same time each day. For situational anxiety like public speaking or flying, take CBD oil 30 to 60 minutes before the event. Effects of CBD oil last for 4 to 6 hours.
