Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical compound extracted from the cannabis and hemp plant that is believed to have numerous health benefits. One of its most popular uses is a potential natural remedy for anxiety and sleep disorders. In this blog, we will explore how using CBD-infused oil is often used to reduce anxiety and induce sleep.

How Can CBD Help with Anxiety?

Anxiety is a common mental health disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by excessive worry and fears about everyday situations, often leading to physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, and restlessness. CBD has been researched for its potential with anxiolytic properties, meaning it can possibly reduce feelings of anxiety and stress.

CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in our body, which helps in regulating various functions, including mood and sleep. CBD is believed to enhance the activity of the ECS by binding to its receptors, which can help in regulation of our body’s response to stress and anxiety.

CBD-infused oil in a tincture is a popular form of CBD consumption, and it is known to have a fast-acting effect. When a few drops are ingested sublingually through a dropper, the oil is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, allowing it to reach the brain and start working sometimes within a few minutes.

An article published by Sleep Foundation talks about how CBD calms the nervous system. It quotes a study that says that nearly 80% of participants used CBD to treat their anxiety, and that resulted in lower anxiety levels within a month.

How does CBD Helps in Inducing Sleep?

CBD oil is popular amongst those who need sleep. It is often an excellent remedy for people who struggle with sleep disorders such as insomnia. CBD can help promote relaxation and calmness by reducing anxiety and stress, making it easier for people to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.

It is essential to note that CBD-infused oil is not a cure for anxiety or sleep disorders. However, it could be a natural and effective way to manage symptoms and improve the overall quality of life. Suppose you are considering using CBD oil to reduce anxiety and induce sleep. In that case, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional to ensure it is safe for you to use and to determine the appropriate dosage.

According to Medical News Today, researchers believe that CDB may also help treat or prevent:

• Chronic pain
  
• Opioid addiction
  
• Depression
  
• High blood pressure
  
• Nausea as a result of chemotherapy and more

Forbes Health has recently published an article about how CBD could help people with sleep disorders, including insomnia. The article informs readers that CBD does not cause the intoxicating high usually associated with Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

Entourage Effect and Medical Cannabis

Recently, with increased education and testing around the cannabis plant, more and more people have started using THC with CBD in their infused oils. This is because of the “entourage effect” of the cannabis plant. The entourage effect (to summarize) refers to the chemical makeup of a cannabis plant and the healing benefits of the plant as a whole (instead of its parts).

In the past, it was popular to use only CBD isolate in tinctures, and this was because THC is still federally illegal in the United States. Locally, medical cannabis dispensaries have started to incorporate small amounts of THC and other cannabinoids to produce a well-rounded product that reflects the chemicals found naturally in a cannabis plant.

At Aloha Green Apothecary in Hawaii, the manufacturing lab develops formulas around THC, CBD, and other minor cannabinoids in tinctures and edibles. These are available to patients with a Medical 329 Cannabis Card from the Hawaii State Department of Health.

CBD Oil is a Great Option for Individuals Hoping to Alleviate Anxiety

In conclusion, using CBD-infused oil to potentially manage anxiety and induce sleep is a natural and effective option for people seeking a more holistic approach to managing their mental health. With its anxiolytic and calming properties, CBD oil can help promote relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve overall sleep quality.
