Cannabidiol or CBD is one of the two components of cannabis. Weed may not be legal but, CBD oil from hemp is legal. CBD products come from medical cannabis or industrial hemp plants. So, because it has a low THC content (less than .3%) it does not fall under the same regulations. CBD oil has many natural benefits such as potential therapy for illnesses, including depression, rheumatoid arthritis, ADHD, substance abuse/withdrawal, nausea, etc.
After reading up on CBD oil and reading the many cases of these oils helping people of all ages with their anxiety, I decided to try CBD oil to reduce the anxiety I was feeling every morning when I woke up. The oil is usually placed with a dropper under your tongue and must absorb for 30 seconds before swallowing. The effects of CBD are relaxation and not the normal high feeling you’d expect from an ingredient in cannabis.
CDB oil can help anxiety in different ways. The symptoms of social anxiety, as well as other anxiety disorders, were lessened when CBD oil was used. The oil showed signs to significantly reduce anxiety, blood pressure and discomfort in speech performance. Although medications can be prescribed by your doctor for these anxiety disorders, CBD oil is another useful therapy.
After ingesting the oil, I begin to feel relaxed and focused. Your brain feels relaxed and able to focus on one thing at a time rather than having scattered thoughts. I find it easier to focus and retain information during class as my mind is focused on one thing rather than the anxiety of that day. I also feel less tired throughout my day. After using CBD oil, I feel like I’ve had my morning cup of coffee. I also use CBD oil as needed before my work day, or even before going to a party on a Friday night. My muscles feel loose and I am less anxious to be in a large group of people.
CBD is a wonderful natural alternative to help with anxiety, depression, insomnia and many other mental illnesses without being prescribed medication. Medication can be addictive and you may not even be seeing the results you’d like for yourself. CBD has done wonders for people with cancer by relieving their pain and by reducing the spread of their cancer. CBD has also helped those with insomnia tremendously by helping them fall asleep and stay asleep. The benefits CBD can provide for our bodies and lifestyle is amazing.
