CBD oil \u2013 not the gunk you stand in when you cross Long Street, the other kind \u2013 is made from cannabidiol. It\u2019s one of 104 chemical compounds, known as cannabinoids, that can be found in the cannabis plant. It\u2019s a naturally occurring substance, which can be extracted and mixed with a carrier oil \u2013 often hemp seed or coconut \u2013 to create CBD oil. Unlike the most well-known cannabinoid, tetrahydrocannabidiol (THC), CBD is not psychoactive, meaning that it won\u2019t get you \u2018high\u2019. In fact, scientists have found it works in the exact opposite manner and offers a range of health and medicinal benefits \u2013 the reason for its growing acclaim. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Interest in CBD products is exploding,\u2019 Tim Lewis wrote in the Guardian<\/a> last year, \u2018it is 2019\u2019s avocado toast, this moment\u2019s turmeric shot. Except there is a crucial difference. If CBD does what its advocates suggest \u2013 or even a fraction of it \u2013 this all-natural, side-effect-free, widely available chemical could genuinely be the wonder drug of our age.\u2019\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thousands of years ago, indigenous people used hemp for many daily uses \u2014 including spinning it into fibre to make clothing, controlling weeds and purifying water. In recent years, CBD\u2019s introduction into the mainstream began with medical applications in more serious cases. When patients with epilepsy responded well to CBD oil, significant scientific arguments were made, and continue to be made, for its use in treating people that suffer from seizures.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, initial studies suggested that CBD oil could be beneficial in managing chronic pain and stress and anxiety.<\/a> And lately studies have revealed that it has many benefits for the circulatory system as well as for the heart. This includes the ability to lower blood pressure (which is linked to many health conditions such as metabolic syndrome, heart attack and stroke). It also helps treat PTSD, alleviates cancer-related symptoms, and is good for brain health.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The media has no doubt helped drive this popularity,\u2019 says Dr Sarah Brewer, medical director at Healthspan. \u2018However, the main drive is because people who take it experience the benefits very quickly, and \u201cword of mouth\u201d is a powerful thing. CBD oil has such a wide range of benefits that it appeals to a wide range of people.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, in our Covid-19 world, with economic and social problems sparking anew every day, social isolation, restrictive government policies, livelihoods in jeopardy and uncertainty, the only thing we can seem to count on, we are, collectively, more anxious than ever before. CBD oil offers a potential way to address this. Here are four reasons it\u2019s worth looking at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. It reduces depression and anxiety<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n


<\/strong>The natural compounds found in cannabis oil are effective for relaxing the mind, releasing pleasure hormones, reducing stress and inducing a sense of calmness and relaxation. It has been shown that CBD reduces anxiety<\/a>, speech performance and cognitive impairment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what\u2019s the science behind it? CBD has the ability to activate the brain\u2019s receptors for serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps to regulate mood and social behavior. In a 2011 clinical trial, patients with social anxiety disorder were either given a dose of CBD or a placebo. They then had to do a social-speaking simulation and their anxiety levels were measured. People who had received CBD showed significantly lower anxiety levels than participants who had been given a placebo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a 2015 review<\/a> of studies in the journal Neurotherapeutics<\/em>, CBD demonstrated potent anxiolytic (anxiety-relieving) effects in animal research, albeit with counterintuitive results. In all but a few studies, lower doses of CBD (10 milligrams per kilogram or less) were better able to treat symptoms of anxiety. Higher doses (100 milligrams per kilogram or more) exhibited virtually no effect. Part of this response could be explained by the way that CBD acts in the brain. In many cases, CBD works as an agonist, meaning that it triggers an opposite response when binding to a receptor. It\u2019s possible that low doses can elicit a positive agonist response, while high doses \u2018overwhelm\u2019 the brain and trigger a compensatory effect to \u2018fight\u2019 CBD’s effects.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to note that if there are any traces of THC in the CBD oil, it can have the opposite of the desired effect. In other words, dosage and quality are important in the effectiveness of the CBD oil.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. It\u2019s a natural alternative with fewer side effects<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Depression and anxiety are often treated with pharmaceutical drugs, which can have side effects such as headaches, insomnia, agitation, addiction and drowsiness. CBD Oil offers a better alternative in that its natural approach results in none, or only minor, side effects.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. It helps you sleep better<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

More than any other routine we keep, including working out and smart food choices, our health and energy levels are directly tied to how much time we spend in dreamland. But it\u2019s not just quantity, it\u2019s the quality of sleep that matters as well. Do you take long to drift away? How often do you wake up in the night? How do you feel when you wake up? These are the important questions to ask with regards to the quality of your sleep.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBD makes you sleep more efficiently and can restore healthy sleep cycles. The oil works by relaxing the mind and body and generating a lower energy level, allowing you to get your heart rate down and clear your mind before a long, restful sleep.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Your pets like it too<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Much like humans, dogs and cats can struggle with the aches and pains of aging. Obviously, seek veterinary attention if you feel something strange might be happening under their fur. But keep in mind that CBD oil has been shown to calm the nerves and anxiety of pets, support healthy hips and joints and to make them more comfortable. Test a small drop first \u2014 and then see how your four-legged friend responds.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to use it<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

As with anything, give your body time to adjust to CBD, and don\u2019t expect overnight results. Your system needs time to process, and experts generally recommend 30-60 days to witness an impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
