6 Surprising and interesting health benefits of CBD tea

People have used cannabis and herbal teas for hundreds of years to promote health, healing and relaxation. Combining the active ingredients in cannabis (such as the cannabinoid CBD) with therapeutic herbs and spices produces a unique holistic remedy that can relieve a variety of symptoms, boost energy and improve mood. This should be the core focus: combining full spectrum, intelligently sourced CBD teas with a focus on overall health.

So what health benefits can you expect when you try CBD tea?

1. Reduce sleeplessness

Nothing is worse than tossing and turning all night, waiting to finally fall asleep. Stop suffering and start sipping! CBD tea can help people suffering from insomnia by reducing anxiety and relieving body aches so that you can relax and get a good night's sleep. Look at soothing blends and CBD teas combined with, for example, chamomile.

2. Reduce anxiety

The simple ritual of drinking tea in the morning or evening before bed is a calming exercise for many people. When you add high-quality herbs and CBD, something magical happens.

Chamomile, Tulsi (aka "Holy Basil" - Holy Basil), Kava, and Hibiscus, for example, all have unique calming properties. From general relaxation to lowering blood pressure, these herbs act as adaptogens - natural solutions to help the body adapt to stress and normalize bodily functions. CBD works in tandem with our herbal choices, acting as an anti-inflammatory line of defense, further lowering blood pressure and boosting mood.

3. Treat headache

Looking at a screen for too long? Throbbing head due to too little sleep and too much caffeine? For people who are constantly plagued by headaches or migraines, CBD offers welcome relief. Drinking CBD tea can help block neurotransmission to pain receptors in the brain and stop a debilitating headache from building up.

In tea, herbs such as peppermint, chamomile and Valerian & Skullcap all have unique properties to help with headaches, including anti-inflammatory, pain relief and antispasmodic properties.

4. Relieve chronic pain

Millions of people live with chronic pain every day. More and more people are turning to CBD as an alternative to the often aggressive, potentially harmful pharmaceutical drugs. CBD has been shown to inhibit the absorption of anandamide by the body, a substance associated with pain management. With CBD, the anti-inflammatory herbs increase this effect and provide relief for conditions such as nerve pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis and more.

5. Reduce inflammation

Inflammation is the body's natural response to harmful stimuli, but some diseases cause the body to respond with excessive inflammation. IBD, arthritis, Chronen Multiple Sclerosis disease are all types of autoimmune diseases associated with inflammation. Because CBD is a natural anti-inflammatory, many people with inflammatory diseases rely on CBD for naturopathic treatment and treatment of their problems.

6. Reduce nausea

Herbal teas with peppermint extract, ginger, lemongrass and licorice have been used for centuries as a natural remedy for abdominal pain. Many people also rely on CBD to treat nausea and upset stomach. The combination of CBD with stomach-softening herbs such as peppermint can provide relief to people who are undergoing chemotherapy, or who occasionally suffer from their abdomen.

Other herbs can work directly with our nervous system to better regulate digestion, such as linden leaf and hawthorn berry.

CBD & your health

Even if you don't have any health problems, CBD tea is a fantastic and effective way to improve your mood and relieve stress. While there are many ways to take CBD, taking CBD in tea form releases the cannabidiol into your system more slowly and will not irritate your lungs if you are prone to respiratory problems. Plus, including CBD in tea gives you the added bonus of drinking a relaxing mug of herbal tea. Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, tea detoxifies your body, while providing you with valuable nutrients your body craves.
