Can CBD Oil Relieve Anxiety Problems?
Palpitations, sweaty hands and racing thoughts, have you ever had any of these symptoms?
If you answered yes, you should know that you are part of a third of the Portuguese population that suffers from anxiety disorders. But it doesn’t have to be that way, as CBD products have anxiolytic effects that can make a difference in your life!
According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 13 people live with anxiety. And for these people, finding a way to reduce or cope with anxiety is a priority.
In general, people seek relief from anxiety symptoms by using instant or long-term anxiolytics. However, these medications are addictive and cause dependence. In contrast, CBD has demonstrated a high degree of safety for health and has been gaining notoriety in the therapeutic world.
How can CBD help treat anxiety?
Several studies point to CBD as an effective treatment for anxiety disorder.
A study conducted on rodents found that CBD dramatically helped reduce stress, fear of open spaces, and reduced anxiety levels. Studies conducted on humans have shown similar effects, especially when it comes to reducing anxiety and stress levels in social settings.
Additionally, a study conducted at Washington State University, published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, found that CBD use significantly reduced symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in the short term. This study showed a 58% reduction in anxiety issues and a 50% reduction in depression issues. The positive effects were maintained over time. Another study found that 58% of CBD users experienced positive results in controlling anxiety.
The anxiolytic effect of CBD
The brain is the most powerful organ in the human body and is responsible for maintaining harmony and regulating the functions of our body.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that acts in the brain and communicates with nerve cells, being responsible for regulating mood, sleep, appetite, heart rate, body temperature, sensitivity and cognitive functions.
When levels are low, they can cause, in addition to bad mood, anxiety, insomnia or even depression.
CBD oil helps reduce anxiety as it has anxiolytic properties that help the body maintain balance and tranquility.
Its anxiolytic properties help regulate serotonin levels in the brain, making our entire body work in harmony, contributing to our well-being, thus reducing or eliminating problems such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, appetite, focus and lack of concentration. In addition, it contributes to improving mood and emotional stability.
The amount of CBD oil to take to treat anxiety disorders varies from person to person and also depending on the symptoms experienced. It is recommended to take small doses and adjust according to each person's needs. It should be noted that this treatment requires an adaptation period. Whenever possible, the treatment should be carried out under medical supervision.
