Using CBD Oil for Treating Anxiety: What You Need To Know

Using CBD Oil for Treating Anxiety: What You Need To Know

CBD oil has become a mainstream recommendation for various medical conditions. Research material about the prospect benefits of using CBD oil in treating medical conditions is still in its infancy. However, there are some areas that CBD shows great promise. Treating mental health disorders, in particular, is an area where CBD oil flourishes. According to studies, increasing your daily intake of CBD can help you fight the symptoms of anxiety, depression, mood swings, and other mental health issues. Because of the new revelations, CBD oil now exists in numerous forms and brands, so finding one should not be a daunting task. Nonetheless, there are various aspects to consider before purchasing and using CBD oil for any conditions. Here is a brief overview of CBD oil and its use in treating anxiety.

What is CBD oil?

CBD or cannabidiol refers to a group of cannabinoids that naturally occur in cannabis. Most of the CBD comes from cannabis Sativa and hemp extracts, but you can get traces of the compound in all cannabis strains. Another famous compound in the cannabis plant is THC or Tetrahydrocannabinol. According to experts, cannabis has some 300 different cannabinoids. However, THC and CBD remain the most common for their medicinal properties. THC is highly psychoactive and has euphoric properties that give you the characteristic “high” when you vape, smoke, or eat marijuana products. CBD comes in various forms, including the isolates (the purest form of the compound), oils and tinctures, cbd massage lotion, topical creams and balms, waxes, and concentrates as well as infused drinks. You can purchase these products from online retailers. If you are in Canada, for instance, you can find reputable CBD oil Canada retailers that will mail-order the package to your address. CBD oil features the isolate and a carrier oil, such as coconut, olive, or sesame. It comes in liquid form in bottles, but you can also find CBD oil supplements (capsules).

Can CBD oil treat anxiety?

Over the past few years, research on CBD has shown great promise in treating different medical conditions. According to studies, humans have a natural endocannabinoid system that regulates various body functions, including sleep, appetite and metabolism, mood, and pain perception, among others. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a vast network of nerves, neurons, and transmitters influencing different cell and tissue functions. When you consume CBD in any form it attaches to the natural CB-1 and CB-2 receptors in the ECS network. This can result in mood elevation, relaxation, and pain relief.

According to research, CBD oil regulates homeostasis by increasing the level of anandamide in the body. Anandamide is a natural neurotransmitter that increases feelings of joy and bliss. It also helps you achieve calm during challenging periods.

The benefits of CBD oil for treating anxiety

Anxiety and panic disorders affect up to 5% of the population and can result in disabling or undesirable symptoms. For a long time, SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) were the primary treatment option for patients on different panic disorders. While effective, SSRIs come with a litany of adverse side effects. Their profile for potential side effects is enough reason to abandon such treatment options. According to studies, CBD oil offers a natural alternative that does not have any adverse effects. However, there are several other merits of using CBD oil in favor of different treatment options. These include:

1. Calming the nervous system

Preliminary studies have shown that CBD oil can have a calming effect on the central nervous system helping patients of panic and anxiety disorders to relax. The same effect makes CBD oil ideal for alleviating neuropsychiatric conditions like epilepsy and schizophrenia. As such, CBD oil offers an effective way to reduce the symptoms and frequency of anxiety and other mental conditions.

2. Does not get you high

Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD does not contain any psychoactive properties that get you high. You can take CBD and go about your business as usual. This makes CBD ideal for integrating with your diet and fitness regimen. You can take CBD in the morning before eating anything, with meals, or after meals. There are simply no adverse side effects to expect.

3. Other medical benefits

CBD oil is effective in reducing anxiety and panic disorders. It is also instrumental in the treatment of several other conditions, including pain relief, better sleep quality and patterns, rest and recovery, weight loss, skin infections, post-chemo, and menopausal symptoms, among others. Taking CBD will result in overall health improvements.

Choosing CBD oil for anxiety

Choosing CBD oil for anxiety

Although CBD oil can deliver fitness and health benefits, not all CBD oil is good. Like other products, the market has an influx of sub-standard offers that cannot adequately provide the medicinal properties you seek. It is essential to compare and review current suggestions carefully. The best CBD oil comes from organic farms that use natural organic cannabis nutrients for growth. However, you can buy marijuana seeds and grow your own plants. This will ensure you have quality cannabis. 

When using CBD for specific medical benefits, it is essential to involve a doctor's expertise. This will help you determine the right dose and mode of delivery. Your doctor will also determine the best support system to ensure optimal intake and bioavailability. Taking CBD with meals can also boost its absorption and metabolism than taking it in isolation.

Conclusion

CBD oil can be a useful addition to your treatment regimen for a variety of medical conditions, including mental health and psychiatric disorders like anxiety. If you choose to use CBD oil for anxiety, consider it a complementary treatment. There are varying degrees of panic disorders, and while CBD can effectively alleviate minor symptoms, chronic cases require specialized procedures and treatment.  What’s more, medication alone cannot adequately treat mental conditions like anxiety. It is still vital to establish the right lifestyle to support your treatment. This includes physical therapy, camps and seminars, meditation, yoga, personal development coaches, and several other options. A holistic approach will have more benefits and can help you root out the problem completely.
