Everyone experiences stress from time to time. Stress can be beneficial in some instances; however, long-term exposure to stress can have a negative physical and mental impact. Fortunately, there are natural methods of reducing stress levels, such as CBD products. Let’s dive into what makes CBD an effective method for managing stress.
Stress is the body’s response to difficult or dangerous situations. It is a normal reaction that helps us respond quickly and appropriately to potential harm or danger. When we sense danger, our body releases certain hormones that can increase strength, energy, alertness, focus, and blood pressure in order to help us cope with the situation. However, when this reaction occurs too often or for prolonged periods of time it can lead to long-term physical and psychological effects such as anxiety and depression.
Long-term exposure to stress has been linked to many issues including fatigue, weakened immune system, cognitive decline over time, increased risk of heart disease/stroke/diabetes etc., digestive issues such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), weight gain or loss, hair loss/graying of hair prematurely etc., skin issues like eczema or psoriasis etc., higher alcohol consumption/smoking etc., and mental health problems such as depression or anxiety.
CBD products are known for their potential therapeutic benefits on various ailments including pain relief, inflammation reduction and more recently for helping manage stress levels. Studies suggest that CBD works by interacting with the endocannabinoid receptors in the brain which help regulate emotions and control mood swings associated with stress. Additionally it also helps reduce cortisol levels in the body which is a key hormone associated with stress management. Apart from reducing cortisol levels it also helps relax the body by boosting serotonin production which leads to better sleep quality at night and improved concentration during the day while also helping reduce anxiety and depression which are both common symptoms associated with long term stress.
