CBD and Stress Management

Everyone could use a little zen now and then, especially after dealing with all of the changes that have occurred in the past couple of years due to the pandemic. Incorporating CBD into your stress management routine is a great way to practice self-care during challenging times. Maybe you’ve been tensing your shoulders from working at a kitchen chair and could use some CBD muscle balm to help soothe tightness. On the other hand, perhaps the strain of your child’s remote online learning is taking a toll on your mental health. Reaching for our Chill CBD Gummies could be exactly what you need to find equilibrium and forge ahead to the next virtual lesson.

That being said, how exactly does CBD work to support daily stress? Why has it become so popular for people to turn to CBD to address the stress levels in their lives? Below we’ve outlined how science combined with a holistic approach to wellness can help you center your life.

The “Magic” of Your Endocannabinoid System

The endocannabinoid system, or ECS, is “globally involved in maintaining homeostasis in the body, connecting all of the body’s organs and systems.” In other words, it makes adjustments that keep your body working at a healthy baseline day in and day out.This incredible system also seems to have a direct link to how your body perceives and reacts to stressors, both internal and external. Humans are beautifully designed to be adaptable—which the pandemic has certainly proven—and the endocannabinoid system helps with that. However, sometimes this system could use a little help from an outside source to ensure that it’s adapting to stress as efficiently as possible.

How CBD Quiets Your ECS

Although there’s still a lot of ongoing research about how exactly CBD works once ingested, it’s thought to interact with the CB1 and CB2 receptors in your ECS. Potentially, CBD could be positively altering serotonin signals, which is a neurotransmitter that’s vital for stable mental health.

People experiencing lower levels of serotonin often report greater levels of anxiety and depression. Doctors have the ability to prescribe medication to help balance serotonin; however, some would rather skip the script and try a more holistic approach to their mental health using CBD with the understanding that it could increase their ability to receive and process what they need to feel a greater sense of calm.
