CBD oil and one of its most frequent uses among users is to reduce stress and anxiety but… maybe you don’t know how to take CBD oil for stress. In today’s blog we tell you everything.
CBD oil is composed of cannabidiol, the second most present component in the cannabis sativa plant. Its benefits, as you already know, are numerous, but we have to emphasize that CBD oil is used, in addition to reducing pain or inflammation, to reduce anxiety and stress.
Does CBD oil decrease stress?
A curious phenomenon occurs, since despite being a cannabinoid, it does not act on the endocannabinoid system, but through serotonin 5HT1A receptors, which possibly reduces anxiety, increases the feeling of relaxation, improves mood and facilitates sleep.
What is stress and how to identify it?
Symptoms to identify stress
Lack of energy or concentration is another “reg flag” to identify stress, you concentrate so much on one issue that it is difficult to pay attention to others.
In addition, we may experience changes in weight generated by episodes of stress in which we may lose our appetite completely or take refuge in food as a response to anxiety.
Other symptoms that we can experience during a stressful episode are diarrhea, changes in behavior, sexual problems and even insomnia or excessive sleep.
So, give top priority to identifying if you are suffering from stress because… Stress gets old!
How to Take CBD Oil for Stress
The first thing we should know is the current legislation on products that contain cannabidiol in the country in which we are, since in many territories although CBD is legal, its consumption is not. For example, in Spain, CBD oil can only have topical use. That is why in our country we will talk more about using than consuming.
Once we know that we can use CBD without restrictions, here are the best ways to take CBD oil for stress:
The sublingual method is the most comfortable and effective method since we only have to apply a small amount of CBD under the tongue and its effect will be enhanced more quickly. This method can be used in countries such as Switzerland, Canada, or the United States.
Adding a small amount of drops to our drink is also a very good option to enjoy the benefits of CBD in those countries we name.
Topical use is the method by which we can enjoy the benefits of cannabidiol in our countries by applying it on our skin.
