During these unprecedented times, collectively we’re struggling, and levels of anxiety have risen. While there is no cure for the unease we are feeling, there is one product that tunes into our own natural system to help in a number of departments. This is CBD, short for cannabidiol. It is a non-psychoactive chemical found in the hemp/marijuana plant, CBD when it is extracted does not contain the THC that activates the ‘high’ most people associate with this plant.

In Britain, we seem to favour a natural approach on how to manage anxiety, turning to holistic remedies rather than prescription medication (research done by EOS Scientific). In the US anti-anxiety prescriptions increased in the month of March by 34.1%. 

According to the Harvard Medical, scientific evidence showing CBD was useful in being able to reduce sufferers of chronic pain, insomnia and reducing the number of seizures, and in some examples stopping them altogether. These conditions ranged also included those suffering from childhood epilepsy syndromes. The FDA has also approved the first-ever cannabis-derived medicine for these conditions. 

A study coming from the European Journal of pain showed the mechanism CBD uses to inhibit inflammatory and neuropathic pain, two of the most difficult types of pain to treat. As well as this there was evidence to show that CBD could help lower pain and inflammation due to arthritis. 

The World Health Organisation (WHO) said CBD had “no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential’: and that there’s been “no evidence of public health-related problems associated with the use of pure CBD.” 

These are just a few evidential points that show CBD is safe to use daily and brings many different health benefits to our body since it creates a bio-tranquillity within our body and reduces your stress levels. By maintaining a homeostatic balance.
