Today’s woman is a juggler. Our entire lives are a balancing act, and most of us walk the balance beam of life with grace and competence. We balance our children’s needs, our partner’s needs, and our own needs like a pro. But even the best of us have bad days, weeks, and in a year like 2020, even bad months or years. Why? Because it is not easy to take care of the world and ourselves without a few balls dropping every now and again. Unfortunately, what women tend to ignore when the going gets tough is themselves. We ignore our own well-being and health before we ignore the needs of our families. But we all need to take a breath and remember that you must put on your oxygen mask first before you can really help anyone else – and the wellness benefits of CBD can be a tremendous first step in necessary self-care.

What Is CBD?

The initials, CBD, stand for cannabidiol. Cannabidiol is a compound that is extracted from the cannabis family of plants. However, only CBD extracted from the hemp strain of the cannabis species of plant is federally legal to manufacture and sell throughout the United States, and only if that extract contains less than .3% THC. The good news is this miniscule amount of THC does not cause psychoactive side effects in our bodies.

Our bodies possess an endocannabinoid system that cannabinoids like CBD work together with. The purpose of this system is to maintain a healthy state of homeostasis or balance within the rest of our bodies. Our bodies actually produce their own cannabinoids that react to cannabinoid receptors to help regulate mood, appetite, metabolism, reproductive cycles, sleep cycles, and much more. The addition of CBD can assist our bodies in this regulation. What is even more encouraging is that CBD is not addictive like many other remedies we tend to seek, and can be used as often as needed for fast-acting, long-lasting support.

How Can CBD Benefit Women’s Health?

Here are just a few ways that CBD can help a woman balance her day more effectively.

Sleep

A productive day starts with a good night’s sleep, and CBD can help with that. Taken before bedtime, studies have shown that CBD can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer to get a truly restful night’s sleep.

Mood

There are many reasons that a woman’s mood may fluctuate – from misbehaving kids, to natural hormonal changes, to unreasonable bosses. Scientists have discovered that CBD activates the 5-HT1A serotonin receptor in the brain, which is responsible for regulating mood and other feelings like worry. Feeling more emotionally balanced promotes happiness as well as productivity, and can make lasting through rough days a little less rough.

Mental Clarity

When life’s demands are at their peak, brain fog can be a problem. Waking up feeling like your brain is out of kilter with no logical explanation or known way of alleviating this fog can make the day’s tasks seem that much more impossible. CBD oil is known to improve mental clarity and focus so that you can more effectively take on the challenges of the day.

Skin Care

Most of us care about our appearance. As we age, our responsibilities tend to increase, and the youthful glow of yesteryear can seem like a distant memory as the stress of caring for our families begins to show. We are beautiful inside and out, and given the choice, most of us would want our beauty to shine inside and out as well. Luckily, many retailers offer CBD infused beauty products that can help to accomplish this goal. When combined with other beneficial ingredients, these products can help reduce dark spots on our skin, even out skin tone, reduce pores, and bring a true glow back to your complexion.

Body Aches

Body aches are another scourge that needs to be eliminated to the greatest extent possible so that we can physically function in life. A sore back can ruin your day even when you have the best of intentions. So whether your body aches stem from over-strenuous workouts, making beds, walking in heels, chasing too many toddlers around the playground, or from natural hormonal changes that happen as we age, some type of remedy is needed. The amazing properties of CBD include the ability to effectively relieve aches in muscles and joints throughout the body without the unwanted side effects of other pain relievers.

Winding Down

As the day approaches its end and it’s time to enjoy the evening, some of us can have a hard time winding down and relaxing. As we try to relax, thoughts of tomorrow make an unwelcome appearance in our minds, and we can suddenly see ourselves planning and worrying about tomorrow instead of enjoying the fruits of today’s labor. We deserve to relax at the end of a stressful day, and CBD products can help turn off our mental “to do” list so that we can let go and relax in the present moment. Relaxing is not a luxury, it is a necessity if we don’t want to burn out. So take that siesta and allow CBD to help.
