CBD Improves Stress Levels

Dealing with stress may seem to be a never-ending struggle. The modern world appears to put pressure on you at all times. From struggling with an increased workload or sudden life change to suffering from a persistent anxiety disorder, feeling stressed out is nothing to be ashamed of, though.

Luckily, there are a few ways you can arm yourself against this relentless assault. As some find creating art a good option for working out negative emotions, others find peace through meditation. There are others who exercise, engage in hobbies, or prefer solitude.

Whatever you do, there’s no changing the fact that both chronic and acute anxiety are affected by body chemistry. That’s where cannabidiol, or CBD, comes in. An effective treatment for stress and depression, CBD is gaining users every year. Here’s why:

It stimulates C1 & C2 receptors

CBD contains therapeutic chemicals called cannabinoids. If you’ve ever studied biochemistry, you may have heard of the endocannabinoid system, a complex network of receptors that help regulate the human body’s homeostasis. The endocannabinoid system makes sure your body’s natural chemicals are working as they should be.

If you picked up on the similarity of the words “cannabinoid” and “endocannabinoid,” that should tip you off to the fact that CBD and the human body go together like peanut butter and jelly. When CBD enters into the bloodstream, it has the effect of stimulating the endocannabinoid system’s C1 and C2 receptors, which are connected to the brain and immune system. This stimulation offers several health-boosting benefits, including improved mood.

It boosts your serotonin levels

Also playing a significant role in regulating mood is serotonin, otherwise known as the “happy chemical.” As its nickname implies, serotonin allows your brain to experience pleasure. Unfortunately, the human body is an imperfect machine, and sometimes serotonin production is blocked. Many types of antidepressant medication exist specifically to unblock it. Recent studies have shown, however, that CBD is just as useful in unblocking serotonin production as most antidepressants, but with fewer side effects.

It allows more restful sleep

One side effect of CBD is drowsiness. For those who have insomnia or sleep disorder, cannabidiol is a minor godsend. Since poor sleep habits are a major contributing factor to high-stress levels, CBD users gain twice the benefit.

It soothes many aches & pains

Mental health conditions or external life events may cause stress. And any kind of injury or inflammation can exacerbate anxiety and may make life harder to deal with. Luckily, cannabidiol is effective for treating many physical ailments, from nausea to certain kinds of seizures and even cancer.

CBD dabs are especially helpful in all these cases, as they provide a purer, more intense concentration of cannabidiol.  They are also easily absorbed into the bloodstream faster than other delivery methods. And with researchers discovering new implementations for CBD every day, it seems the compound’s stress-busting potential is always expanding.
