What is CBD and Why Is It Good for Your Health?

March 18, 2020 by Annie

CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the two main components of cannabis. Unlike THC, the other main component, CBD is not psychoactive. That means it doesn’t cause any of the mind-altering effects associated with THC. This is one of the main reasons why CBD is so popular – it’s more legal throughout the world and easier to find and buy, while at the same time it offers all the health benefits of the cannabis plant and much more.

If you want to learn more about the health benefits of CBD, as well as how it affects women, make sure you read our short, but comprehensive research.

How Does CBD Work?

Our bodies have two types of cannabinoid receptors. They are known as CB1 and CB2. Most of the CB1 receptors are located in the brain, although they can be found all over the body too. They are connected with pain, memories, thinking, emotions, appetite, mood, and coordination and movement.

The CB2 receptors are most common in the immune system. They affect pain and inflammation.

According to scientists, CBD stimulates the body to use more of its cannabinoids. This is the reason why CBD directly affects our cognitive processes, physical health, and immune system.

What Are The General Health Benefits?

There are many health benefits from CBD use. That said, scientists are still at the very beginning of learning everything that it can offer. A small number of studies exist at the moment, mostly because of cannabis’s legality problems, but what we know so far shows incredible potential.

For example, there have been studies indicating that CBD relieves pain more effectively and with almost no side effects compared to traditional painkillers. It’s best against chronic pain because of its interaction with the neurotransmitters in our body, which reduces inflammation as well.

Another health benefit of CBD is for treating depression and anxiety. An interesting study also showed us that it can be a powerful ally for people suffering from PTSD. It seems that it lowers the level of both anxiety and insomnia.

Phobia statistics also suggest CBD as an excellent means of dealing with stress without getting addicted.

CBD also has neuroprotective properties. According to another study, CBD can successfully reduce spasms in multiple sclerosis patients as well as reduce seizures in children with Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet syndrome. There is even cannabis-based medicine approved for use by the FDA — Epidiolex (oral CBD solution for children with epilepsy), while Sativex (mouth spray with CBD and THC for multiple sclerosis) is waiting for the approval.

Last but not least, CBD can be of great help for cancer patients. Research has shown us that CBD can help reduce nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy treatments. There is some evidence that it may also induce cell death in human breast cancer cells.

How Can Women Benefit From CBD?

There are a lot of proven health benefits just for women. It seems that CBD can prevent or provide relief for women suffering from hormonal imbalance. It may also help women in menopause by stabilizing their mood changes, decreasing the rate of bone density loss and reducing sleep disorders.

What about PMS? Unfortunately, CBD can’t cure us of this condition but studies have found that it might help reduce some of the most common PMS symptoms like cramps and bloating. It may also moderate mood irregularities and help with overall mental health.

I saved the best for last! CBD is also known to improve sex life in general. Women who are using CBD oil, sprays or lubricants can enhance their sexual pleasure by alleviating dryness and pain. CBD also releases the muscles and sets the mood – a perfect combination for memorable orgasms.

Is CBD Safe?

According to research, CBD seems to be safe for most women. It’s still best to consult a doctor before deciding to try it, especially if there is another treatment in place because it is known to cause drug interactions (especially with anti-seizure drugs and blood thinners).

There are also some side effects that have to be taken into consideration too, like dry mouth, reduced appetite, drowsiness, and diarrhea. These are mostly observed with longer use or higher quantities. If taken with moderation, CBD might not cause any adverse effects in an otherwise healthy woman.

The Bottom Line

CBD is becoming more popular by the minute and it shows no signs of stopping. This shouldn’t come as a surprise considering the fact that it has countless health benefits and little to none side effects. That said, it’s still best to talk to a doctor or medical professional to decide if you can benefit from CBD. And never forget – the key is in moderation!
