Taking CBD for Anxiety

DOES CBD OIL WORK FOR ANXIETY?

CBD Oil has proven very effective in helping people lower anxiety levels and manage stress by calming the nervous system. This in turn then aids to help with sleep problems.

HOW CBD OIL CAN HELP WITH ANXIETY AND STRESS

Increases Serotonin Levels – Incredibly, the effects of CBD alone are far-reaching. It directly activates serotonin receptors (this increases serotonin levels) –  which is shown to elevate ones mood, along with a multitude of many other benefits.

Encourages the Production of Endocannabinoids – Cannabidiol also (perhaps most famously) has a unique interaction with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) – a physiological system made up of receptors and neurotransmitters called ‘endocannabinoids’, which works to keep all bodily processes in balance. While CBD doesn’t directly activate this system (THC and CBG do), it does boost it, by impede the enzyme that’s released to break down endocannabinoids. The outcome is higher levels of endocannabinoids in the body, which is linked with feelings of contentment as well as inner calm, it helps the body regain or maintain equilibrium.

Fortunately, one of the many benefits of CBD is that, through supporting the ECS, it can help bring those levels back up. Once they’re up, stress is much more easily managed.
