Top Three Benefits of CBD for Womens Health

July 3, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

When investigating the benefits of holistic healing, it’s close to impossible to avoid hearing the question: “Have you tried CBD?” 

Cannabidoil, or CBD, is a non-psychoactive compound taken from the hemp plant that has made waves in the world of natural remedies for its effects on everything from general anxiety to chemotherapy patients. This high result and low side effect remedy has shifted countless views on the power of holistic medicine, particularly in women. Still not sure if CBD is right for you?

Here are the top 3 benefits of taking CBD as a woman: 

Sleep

From mothers, to business-women, to students in higher education, all women crave a good night’s sleep We can’t function, focus, or complete basic daily tasks required of us if we haven’t had the proper rest to fill our tanks. Taking CBD roughly one hour before bed, particularly relaxation blends with melatonin or chamomile, can improve sleep quality by relaxing the central nervous system. 

Receptors in cannabidiol activate the C1 and C2 receptors in the body’s Endocannabinoid system. This is the system that regulates the body’s immune system, sleep rhythm, brain functions, and pain management. In relieving symptoms of anxiety, chronic pain, fatigue, and other pressing health issues, CBD calms the body enough to obtain a quality night’s sleep. 

Relieving anxiety

Women are twice as likely to develop an anxiety disorder than men. Many women actively battle symptoms of nervousness, stress, and depression. Patients experiencing anxiety and depression are often prescribed antidepressants known as SSRIs. 

SSRIs block serotonin reabsorption in order to aid the cells within the brain to transmit serotonin signals. These signals increase mood and reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Studies have shown similar connections to serotonin receptors after taking CBD with post-intake scans showing anxiety-reducing patterns of blood flow. 

While further testing needs to be conducted in order to definitively state CBD as a remedy for anxiety and depression, these initial findings are promising. 

Reducing PMS symptoms

Easily the most daunting aspect of being a woman is the monthly occurance of menstruation. Bloating, cramping, migraines, heavy bleeding, and a slew of equally unpleasant symptoms hit like a tsunami, and can last anywhere from three days to over a week. 

For many, menses comes with chronic, debilitating disorders such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and PCOS. Given its anti-inflammatory qualities and effects on the body’s immune and brain health, CBD often relieves symptoms of these conditions. 

Where can I get CBD?

It’s important to remember that every person’s body is going to react to illness differently, and subsequently different remedies. While one method of treatment may change a patient’s life, it could barely make a dent in the patient next to them. Similarly, someone taking 10 milligrams of CBD every morning may see drastic results, while another may require closer to 50 to feel relief. 

Finding the right CBD regiment is a process. It’s best to start this journey by discussing the reasons for intake with a physician who can give input on dosage, frequency, and method of ingestion. CBD comes in various forms from tablets and sublingual drops, to topical creams. Based on the need for use, though, each of these can work in different ways. 

Researching various brands online can be the best aid in making these decisions. Finding a thorough review of multiple brands from the point of extraction to distribution can answer any questions and concerns about third-party testing, sourcing, or even pricing and packaging. The CBD Insider is a popular source for these extensive reviews and also offer discounts for their readers. For example, after a review of the CBDistillery brand, they linked a cbdistillery coupon code for their readers to use on their next purchase. 

Women can be strong, powerful, and brave. They deserve to live the highest quality of life possible whether they’re looking for relief from day-to-day stressors or hoping for a break from the monthly monster of their period. Taking CBD can be just the thing to provide that quality of life improvement.

Hi Friends!
I'm Fern and I have a love for travel, beauty, health and flowers! I went to school for nutrition, but wasn't really interested in being a nutritionist. So, I started to bartend and have since I graduated school a year ago.
I love talking to people, traveling and writing on my blog... and bartending allows me to do the things I love.

I can take off for a month to travel abroad and there will never be any shortage of bartending/serving jobs when I get home. I also love that I can work abroad bartending anywhere I want! So, I hope you enjoy my blog and if you have any questions, feel free to email me! :)
