You may have been hearing about CBD for a while now, and the noise around it continues to grow.
Believing it has calming properties, many CBD users integrate it into their daily routines to help them de-stress and find greater calm. Whether it is a few drops of CBD oil to get your day going, a CBD Drink to aid concentration or a CBD tea to help wind down in the evening many people there are ample opportunities to use the CBD during the our daily lives.
CBD is short for Cannabidiol, and is one of the many active compounds found in hemp plants. Unlike THC it is not psychoactive, so won’t get you high and is mostly known for its calming effects. CBD is also widely used in the wellness world for its wide range of benefits.
How does CBD work?
CBD works with a system in our body called our Endocannabinoid System (our ECS), a system of nerves and receptors that works to help our body stay in balance. CBD helps to regulate this system, which can affect our levels of stress and anxiety, can help to alleviate pain, soothe inflammation, and even support our immune systems. It has also been said that CBD can help promote better sleep, reduce fatigue and improve focus.
When trying to relax, we need to reduce stress, release tension and rest. Everyday stress, long hours at work and interrupted sleep can be huge barriers to relaxation.
CBD can be a very useful ally when trying to restore your balance, helping us to reduce any anxiety, inflammation, and tension that we may have in our body.
If you are struggling to relax, CBD may be able to help you. Whether that is with a CBD oil, a CBD drink or even CBD capsules you can create your own ‘me space’, a routine for yourself to simply relax and enjoy. The process of taking CBD can itself become relaxing, for example a moment of calm whilst you place a few drops of Oil under your tongue. Or relax whilst you enjoy a calming CBD Tea instead of an alcoholic drink or sweet snack.
