CBD and Anxiety
Occasional anxiety is an expected part of life. It’s something most of us experience to some degree throughout our lives. This differs from anxiety disorders, in which the anxiety does not go away, gets worse over time and interferes with daily activities like job performance and relationships.
For the low-level anxiety, coping mechanisms like meditation, yoga,
deep breathing, exercise, journaling or working with a therapist may help. But for some people, that’s not enough. “Of all the wellness tools in
my toolbox, CBD oil has been the best addition to my life for anxiety.”

Anecdotal evidence abounds for CBD and decreased anxiety, but scienti c research remains limited. Up until recently, because of the federal regulations around CBD usage, research had been dif cult to do. The research that does exist on CBD for anxiety use was either done on animals or with small groups of people. From what we know, there seems to be evidence that CBD has a calming effect in the central nervous system.
One study looked at mice and found that CBD had comparable effects to imipramine, an antidepressant medication, in producing antidepressant-like effects. A similar study looked at the effect of CBD on humans with social anxiety disorder and found that the people who took 400 milligrams of CBD had signi cantly
decreased subjective anxiety compared to a placebo. Earlier this year, a study of
72 adults found that anxiety decreased in 79% of the participants.

effectively and
effortlessly in a way
that adaptogens and
years of meditation
years of meditation hadn’t.”
