CBD as potential help for anxiety

Is CBD Oil a potential helping agent to decrease anxiety?

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health concerns around the world. Often the environment in which we live can make us feel stressed from time to time. Stress is not always bad as it is often a motivator but sometimes when stress becomes more constant there may be more serious underlying issues. When stress becomes constant and debilitating, it can be a sign of anxiety.

Currently, there is not one singular cure to banish anxiety but there are products that claim to help lower the feeling of anxiety. One of which being CBD oil. Some products that are sold on our website are; cbdMD, Mint CBD oil, element RX CBD oil (spray), element Rx CBD (dropper for pets), and wholesale element Rx CBD oil (dropper).

What is CBD Oil?

The cannabis plant has been used for thousands of years for its natural pain-relieving properties. CBD oil is a product that is derived from cannabis. Cannabidiol is extracted from cannabis plants and can be used as an oil. CBD oil is rich in chemicals called cannabinoids that bind to receptors. It does not create the ‘high’ effect that is caused by THC. Extended research has been done on CBD oil and it has been suggested that it may have many health benefits.

What CBD Oil is it good for?

CBD oil is considered to have great potential. CBD oil has shown to be useful in relieving pain, such as joint pain and discomfort caused by conditions such as arthritis. This is due to its natural anti-inflammatory properties. It has also been shown to be useful in treating skin concerns, such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, and even burns.

As well as helping with physical health, some people find CBD to be useful in treating their mental well being. This can include anxiety. Many people living through stress or anxiety take CBD oil as a way of controlling their symptoms. Further research published in 2014 found that CBD oil had anti-anxiety and antidepressant effects in an animal model. Furthermore, a 2016 case study explored whether cannabidiol could reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety-provoked sleep disorder in a child with a history of trauma. Researchers found that cannabidiol reduced the child’s anxiety and helped her sleep. Research is still being conducted on the positive effects of CBD oil. Hopefully, the product will be able to help more people worldwide in the future.

How to take CBD oil?

CBD oil on its own can be quite bitter. Therefore, occasionally CBD is paired with flavoring agents (fruity flavors) to accommodate the taste. CBD oil can be placed under the tongue so that it diffuses into the bloodstream (make sure to get the right amount of dosage). This is the most efficient way. There are other ways to consume CBD, so it is best to check out the options and pick one that bests suits you.

Can CBD cream actually help with pain?

As it turns out, topical CBD products may offer some anti-inflammatory properties to help alleviate pain through cannabinoid receptors within the skin. These receptors are a part of the body's endocannabinoid system, or ECS, that governs functions such as our ability to process pain, as well as inflammation, mood, and sleep. The cannabis plant contains phytocannabinoids like CBD that interact with our ECS, which is why hemp has therapeutic properties.

CBD has been shown in clinical studies to help with pain-specific medical conditions including chronic pain, peripheral neuropathy, pain and inflammation, arthritis pain, and myofascial pain. Cannabinoids can also help improve pain in patients receiving palliative care. A 2020 cross-sectional study found that nearly 25% of outpatient palliative care patients use CBD, with topical application being the most common form used.
