DOES CBD OIL HELP ANXIETY?
Yes. Cannabidiol CBD helps combat anxiety by interacting with the body’s naturally occurring Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS helps regulate bodily systems and maintain equilibrium, or homeostasis. This includes body temperature, blood pressure, sleep cycles, metabolism, mood regulation and much more.
Cannabinoids are found in more common places than just hemp and cannabis plants. For example, females produce cannabinoids in their breast milk that are crucial for fetal development.
Studies have shown that CBD interacts with the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the brain and body throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems.
In a 2011 study, researchers studied the effects of CBD on people with SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder). Participants were administered an oral dose of CBD, or a placebo dosage. Those who received CBD experienced overall reduced anxiety levels. Many clinical trials have been released on CBD since its popularity arose in the past decade.
CAN I TAKE CBD OIL WITH ANTIDEPRESSANTS? IS CBD A SAFE ALTERNATIVE FOR ANXIETY MEDICATIONS?
Of course, but with everything you begin taking, it’s important to consult your health care physician before starting.
CBD is a naturally occurring, organic compound. It is completely safe to ingest and take part in a wellness regimen. Although, there are CYP450 liver enzymes that get inhibited from the presence of CBD. These enzymes help break down medications, like blood thinners. This can cause some anxiety medications like Xanax or Ativan, to increase their side effects such as drowsiness or sedation.
Many of our customers have successfully weaned themselves off of prescription SSRI’s with the help of Hemp CBD and/or medical marijuana.
WHAT IS AN EFFECTIVE DOSE OF CBD OIL FOR ANXIETY?
Average CBD doses for anxiety based on severity: • Mild: 5mg-15mg • Moderate: 15mg-30mg • Severe: 30mg+ (avg. 30mg-60mg)
See how one dose a day affects your symptoms. Incrementally increase doses and milligrams as needed until desired effects are achieved. Most end up needing a dose every 6-8 hours to manage chronic anxiety disorders.
