CBD is a cannabinoid found naturally in both hemp and cannabis. CBD is extracted and then combined with other ingredients to create consumable CBD products. There is often some confusion around the legality of CBD in the UK because it comes from the same species as the marijuana plant, but CBD products are entirely legal and increasingly popular.
What Is CBD Used For?
CBD is widely used for its powerful healing properties and can help ease the symptoms of many health complaints. Another myth about CBD is that it will get you high, which is a mistake made when confusing CBD with cannabis use. CBD products don’t contain the levels of THC that result in a ‘high’, so they don’t have the same effects and won’t result in any kind of altered state. CBD users often describe the effects of CBD as a state of relaxation and the absence of — or at least significant reduction in — tension and anxiety.
CBD is increasingly popular for use with both physical and mental health and wellbeing. The key to getting maximum benefits from CBD is to invest in a product most suited to your needs. For example, you can take tinctures and pastilles orally to release a more general benefit in the entire body. Or you can apply CBD products like our balms to a localised area for more targeted relief. Like any kind of pain or symptom relief, users can use either or a combination of the two for the most effective results.
Frequent CBD users have experienced benefits including stress and tension relief and reduced levels of anxiety. There is significant research being done into the effects of CBD use for mental health, and reduced levels of anxiety make up a significant number of the positive reports of how CBD has helped users.
Users also credit CBD for helping with pain management and injury, plus relief from arthritis. Many chronic pain users sing the praises of CBD as either a standalone treatment or in conjunction with prescribed medicine. The pain and symptom relief that comes with CBD products mean you can use them as and when you experience symptoms. Or you can start to incorporate them into your daily routines for a more general boost to your health and wellbeing.
CBD is also popular with those who suffer from insomnia and has been reported to help users both falling and staying asleep. Epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease are other areas where CBD has been tested for relief from symptoms, as it can help ease the effects of tremors and provide relief.
While CBD is still relatively new in mainstream medicine, there is lots of ongoing research into its mental and physical benefits. Studies are being done to find out the effects of CBD use on major health issues like cancer and heart disease, and experts are finding new advantages of CBD use all the time.
