The fear and stress – from closed businesses to unemployment – caused by the coronavirus crisis is too great. With the Covid-19 pandemic keeping us on the edge of our seats, many people are asking what they can do to keep them calm. How do you keep calm with CBD?
It's no secret that cannabidiol (CBD) – a chemical compound found in hemp plants – can reduce anxiety and stress. There are multiple studies that prove this claim, and the good thing is that CBD causes no side effects after ingestion, unlike traditional prescription anti-anxiety drugs.
Today, CBD products can be found in many forms. Here are three ways you can stay calm with and consume CBD to reduce your anxiety and stress.
CBD edibles to keep anxious feelings away
A popular way to ingest CBD is to eat cannabis-infused foods or edibles. For example, there are candies and gummies that contain CBD and come in different flavors. You can take two to three of these edibles during the day and one more before going to sleep at night. In addition to keeping you calm with CBD, cannabidiol can also treat symptoms of insomnia.
The good thing about CBD edibles is the ease of taking them. Some people still hesitate to calm down with CBD and use it because of the bad image associated with being a chemical compound extracted from cannabis plants such as marijuana. When you consume CBD edibles, you don't look like a medicine man, and they also have a consistent dosage.
Using a CBD oil dropper might cause some people to judge you, but no one is going to make you look bad if you eat CBD gummies in front of a lot of people. Even at work, you can consume CBD edibles without getting bad judgment from everyone.
We all know that fear gets worse when you think people are judging you. Thus, consuming these cannabidiol-infused edibles may be the best way for you to take in CBD.
CBD oils to fight anxiety
CBD users also like CBD oils to relieve their stress and anxiety. You can use CBD oil sublingual consume it by dropping it under your tongue. The effect of this consumption method is fast because the cannabidiol is absorbed directly into your bloodstream.
For example, you can consume CBD oil twice a day during the day and later in the evening. For starters, it is recommended to use a lower dosed version such as 25mg of a CBD product when you get anxious. If you are experiencing chronic pain, you can use a higher dose of 50mg to 100mg of CBD oil to relieve the pain.
CBD vapes for treating anxiety
If you want to feel the effects of cannabidiol right away, you can use vaporizers to inhale the CBD. There are low-THC and low-CBD vaporizers that allow you to consume in microdoses twice a day. For people with chronic pain, you can inhale the THC- and CBD-rich variety.
However, some people are concerned about inhaling vaporized CBD, especially the heating coils and the chemicals in these vaping products.
Closing comments
Cannabidiol or CBD can be a great way to reduce stress, anxiety and chronic pain. There are nowadays CBD products that you can consume in different ways. If you are feeling stressed and anxious about this Covid-19 pandemic, you can use CBD edibles, CBD oils or CBD vapes.
