BENEFITS OF CBD OIL FOR SLEEP

Does CBD oil work for a better night’s sleep?

CBD oil can be a great remedy for your sleep worries. CBD promotes quality sleep by tackling underlying conditions like anxiety and stress. Moderate to high CBD dosages can lower your anxiety and cortisol or stress hormones improving sleep over time. CBD oil can also increase sleep duration by enhancing the function of the circadian rhythm responsible for maintaining a balanced sleep/wake cycle.

Can using CBD oil improve other things too, including stress, sex drive?

CBD oil has shown to increase sex drive by lowering anxiety related to sex performance. The oil interacts and binds to the endocannabinoid system to induce a calming effect that significantly lowers anxiety or stress, which can boost your libido.

Are there different ways to take CBD oil?

You can take CBD to better your sleep in varying ways, including in pill or capsule forms, ingesting it in edibles such as gummies, sublingual administration for oils or tinctures, and vaping for higher bioavailability.

Does CBD oil get you high? Good to touch on THC.

CBD has no high-state effects on your body. The highness from using hemp products is mainly caused by THC, which is low in CBD, accounting for less than 0.3%. The low potency of THC traces in CBD can’t get you high or have any psychoactive effects on the CNS. 

The difference between CBD and marijuana?

Marijuana refers to the natural flowers, seeds, leaves, and stems of the cannabis plant, its high in THC molecules that make you high and have psychoactive effects that can alter your brain. CBD is an extract of marijuana passed through several industrial processes to clear the THC strains, hence having no highness or mind-altering effects.

Is CBD oil legal in the UK?

CBD oil that has less than 0.3% THC is legal and available in numerous stores, provided it’s extracted from industrial hemp.

Do you need to speak to a doctor before considering using CBD oil?

 I recommend you talk to a doctor to seek their approval before using CBD oil to prevent future health risks that can arise from using CBD.

Does CBD oil have different impacts on each person?

How CBD oils affect the body varies individually based on; the type of CBD oil or supplement form, body weight, age, dosage amounts, how the ECS interacts with the CBD compounds, and other personal factors.
