With the country’s lockdown restrictions continuing, many people have found they are struggling to adapt. Those already suffering from depression, anxiety and panic disorders have been hardest hit, but there’s evidence that many people with no previous mental health conditions are also finding it hard to cope with the emotional strain. That’s where CBD products could play a part.

Could CBD help you cope?

CBD has been proven to lower feelings of stress and anxiety, and more and more people are now using it to help with a range of mental and physical conditions. Thanks to its anxiety-reducing effects, CBD really could be the minor miracle many people are looking for as they struggle to cope with the stress of national lockdown.

Trials beginning to take place in humans have already shown that cannabinoid supplements lower feelings of stress, and could be effective in treating a range of mental health issues. Products such as CBD e-liquids and CBD edibles promote the healing properties of cannabis without giving the ‘high’ people attach so much stigma to, making them perfectly safe to use at home.

Is CBD right for you at the moment?

Lockdown is causing many more people to suffer emotionally and that means many are looking for safe and convenient ways to reduce feelings of depression, stress and anxiety. The vast majority would respond well to CBD and see the benefits, so it’s an option worth considering.

CBD products come in all different forms, so it’s simply a case of finding the right supplement for you. As well as e-liquids and edibles, you can take oral CBD tinctures and topical CBD. It’s simply a case of finding what you’re most comfortable with.

CBD and pain relief

/0 Comments/in /by

Many people who suffer from pain are looking for alternatives to taking pain relief every day to avoid unwanted side effects. Instead, they are turning to natural alternatives to traditional drugs which can have nasty side effects.

CBD or cannabidiol is a chemical that occurs naturally in cannabis plants. It is not psychoactive so doesn’t produce a “high”, but is believed to have many benefits for a range of conditions. Let’s take a look at how it may be used to relieve different types of pain.

Arthritis

CBD is used by many sufferers of arthritis to help reduce swelling and relieve pain. A 2016 study carried out on rats found that a daily dose had long-lasting pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects. People who use CBD for pain relief can take it in the form of oral CBD tinctures and CBD edibles, or apply topical CBD directly onto the site of pain.

Headaches

Chronic headaches and migraines can be debilitating for many, but CBD may be a viable alternative to taking pills to treat them. While more research needs to be done specifically linking headache relief with CBD, there are some indications that CBD products can provide an alternative to addictive drugs such as opioids. A study in 2009 concluded that CBD could provide relief taken alongside analgesic (pain-relieving) drugs, or when it’s not an option to take opioids.

Chronic pain

If you’re unfortunate enough to suffer from chronic pain, you will be interested to know that CBD products are believed to ease its symptoms. A review carried out in 2018 concluded that CBD could provide a new, alternative therapy for chronic pain patients. It suggested that while more studies were needed to verify the link between CBD and pain relief, it could open up new therapies for anyone suffering from chronic pain.
