We are in an age where people are facing increased levels of stress, which can lead to many health problems.

Stress is a normal body's adaptation mechanism to environmental stressors, yet long-term stress exposures can have negative health consequences.

It is known that CBD can help reduce stress and anxiety, as well as improve mood and psychological health.

In the following article we will explain how CBD can be a natural and effective solution for reducing stress.

First of a what is CBD and how does it work to reduce stress?

CBD is a natural substance found in the hemp plant. It does not contain the psychoactive substance THC, so it does not cause addiction. CBD works in the human body through our endocannabinoid system (ECS).

The ECS is a system composed of various cannabinoid antagonists and inhibitors, as well as the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. These receptors are found in various parts of the body, including the central nervous system and the respiratory system.

When we take CBD, this compound binds to our cannabinoid receptors and affects the functioning of our ECS. It has been reported that CBD's action on the ECS can help reduce stress and anxiety. In addition, studies have shown that CBD can improve mood and psychological health in general.

How CBD can reduce stress

First, it can help reduce the level of cortisol in the body. Cortisol is a stress hormone produced by the adrenal gland. When the level of cortisol in the body increases, this can lead to increased stress and anxiety. Taking CBD can help reduce cortisol production, thus helping to reduce stress.

Second, taking CBD can improve the functioning of the ECS system, which regulates our stress response. With the help of the ECS, we can deal with stress more effectively and bring our body back into a state of balance.

A study that was done so that we could get further information about the use of CBD for stress reduction is that of Shannon et al. entitled "Cannabidiol in Anxiety and Sleep: A Large Case Series". This study was published in The Permanente Journal in 2019.

In this study, researchers looked at the use of CBD to reduce anxiety and improve sleep in a large group of people. In particular, the study included 80 adults with stress-anxiety or sleep disorders, who received CBD in various and small doses over the course of a month.

Researchers found that using CBD helped reduce anxiety in about 80% of participants and improved sleep quality in about 70% of participants. Furthermore, the use of CBD was safe and well tolerated by the participants.

New studies are constantly being done so that we are able to discover new information about which we ourselves are constantly monitoring in order to be updated and update you.
