How to Use CBD Oil For Anxiety?

Anxiety impacts people in several ways. For each individual, the experience with anxiety is

different. It is the natural and healthy way of our body to response to stress. As humans, we are

designed to survive. Our minds start to assume that more things can threaten us than they really

do, making us more anxious than needed. Often times, the feelings become worse with time.

These feelings can even linger on, and do not go away. In extreme cases, anxiety can feel

unbearable.

Anxiety is a feeling of fear, dread, and uneasiness. It might cause you to sweat, feel restless and
tense, and have a rapid heartbeat. It can be a normal reaction to stress. For example, you might
feel anxious when faced with a difficult problem at work, before taking a test, or before making
an important decision. It can help you to cope. The anxiety may give you a boost of energy or
help you focus. But for people with anxiety disorders, the fear is not temporary and can be
overwhelming.
Is Anxiety Just Intense Feelings?

Anxiety is not just an experience of intense feelings. If it is ignored for a long period of time, it

can become a severe problem, and will definitely start interfering with your everyday life,

including your performance at work. Therefore, it is imperative at this time to control it. There

are several treatments available for treating anxiety. However, some people still prefer to use

natural remedies and products for treating anxiety.

Hemp Oil and Health Benefits

Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids which support healthy heart, brain and even influence several

bodily functions that can help alleviate joint pain and support healthy blood pressure are

abundantly found in hemp oil. These fatty acids are also known for reducing the development of

artery plaque. Hemp oil, however, does not offer any therapeutic benefits, unlike CBD oil.

CBD Oil and Mental Health

CBD oil is natural, and plant based. It is found in marijuana and is essential in reducing anxiety.

It is also known for improving the quality of sleep in people who might suffer from generalized

anxiety disorder (GAD) and social anxiety disorder. However, unlike marijuana, which is rich in

THC, CBD oil does not contain any THC. Hence, you would not feel high after consuming it.

Many studies conducted recently have also showed that CBD oil can help prevent the symptoms

associated with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), which may include having nightmares and
continuously replaying negative memories. The studies have assessed CBD as a standalone

treatment for PTSD and as a supplement to traditional medication as well as cognitive behavioral

therapy (CBT).
Is CBD Oil Safe to Use?

Generally speaking, CBD oil is easy to tolerate and safe to use. CBD from a well renowned

brand has lower levels of THC, therefore the chances of addiction are minimized. However, the

user might witness a few side effects. These can include the following:

1. Fatigue

2. Diarrhea

3. Loss of appetite

4. Weight changes

How To Use CBD Oil to Treat Anxiety?

CBD oil comes in various forms, from edibles, to sprays. There is not one specific form that will

perform the best in allaying the symptoms of anxiety, as the efficacy of each medium differs

depending on the person using it.

There are a few different ways to use CBD oil for anxiety. You can consume it orally, in the

form of capsules, gummies, and even tinctures. It can also be utilized topically by laying it on the

skin in the form of creams, lotions, or oils. However, you can also vape CBD oil in a vape pen or

an e-cigarette.

Dosage of CBD Oil


If you are interested in using CBD for treating your anxiety, I suggest you should talk to your

doctor first. They can help you in figuring out a starting dosage that will work best for you.

Nevertheless, National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) suggest there

are a few commercial products that contain CBD oil in enough quantity for replicating the

medicinal and therapeutic effects we have seen in clinical trials.

A study conducted in 2018 found that 300 mg of CBD oil when taken orally was adequate for

reducing anxiety among the participants. However, subjects who were given 150 mg had a little

effect. The same was seen in participants who received a dosage of 600 mgs.

Conclusion
In today’s time and age anxiety has taken a toll on the health of people around the globe. However,
many people do not like using medicines, and keep themselves entrapped in the pain of anxiety, and
stress. CBD oil offers a strong, effective remedy without fearing long term side effects, or creating
dependency on it. Instead, it gives extra health benefits such as improving bone health, and relieving
joint pains. Anxiety can hinder your day to day activities, and therefore, should be treated before it gets
out of control and consumes your health, time, and work.

The amount of CBD oil you want to take depends on your anxiety levels. However, studies have found
that a specific dosage should be taken, as increasing the amount can also have zero positive impact on
your health. It is recommended that one should talk to their doctor for a proper dose, before starting
CBD oil as an anti-anxiety option.
