Stress and anxiety are two of the most common issues that have taken over the world population. This was an issue since time immemorial but in recent years, thanks to the lack of real-world interactions and excessive professional pressure, people of all ages are reeling under the impact of these silent killers!

One can feel stressed out just before they sit for an important test or take up the responsibility to arrange an event for their family. It’s a natural response!

But, if that same individual feels stressed out all the time and feels anxious even while completing daily mundane tasks then the individual, is, unfortunately, suffering from chronic stress and chronic anxiety!

SO, WHAT IS THE SOLUTION THEN!?

Though there are prescription medications to combat both stress and anxiety, for many, these so-called ‘solutions’, fail to return satisfactory results!

This is the reason why people often look for an alternative, unconventional and holistic solution to combat their demons and keep stress as well as anxiety at bay!

Some of these solutions are CBD-infused products such as CBD gummies, drops, edibles, etc. Apart from making yoga and meditation the part and parcel of their lives, using CBD-infused products is becoming a norm for most of the global population.

Why!?

Well, as per the findings of several state-sponsored as well as independent research labs, CBD-infused products can combat the following:

• Chronic anxiety
• Chronic stress
• Panic attacks
• Social anxiety
• OCD (Obsessive-compulsive disorder) and
• PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder).

HOW DOES CBD WORK TO COMBAT STRESS AND ANXIETY?

Well, CBD-infused products help a user with their stress and anxiety in the following unique and interesting ways –

• CBD binds to a receptor in the user’s brain called the 5-HT1A receptor. This receptor, if it is present in excessive amounts in the brain and blood of a person then the person is on the verge of suffering from chronic anxiety. By binding to the aforementioned receptor molecules, CBD allows a person to control their anxiety and deal with things in the most productive ways.
• CBD helps in restoring the balance in the endocannabinoid system present in the human body. It is the natural biological system in a human body that is responsible for producing endocannabinoids – the human body’s solution to control the overstimulation of CB1 receptors. If CB1 receptors in the body of a person get over stimulated, that person could report feeling stressed out and anxious at the same time!
• Chronic stress leads to irreparable damage to the neurons (brain cells). As per the finding of some studies, it is seen that CBD helps in reversing this effect by promoting neural regeneration!

If one is planning to kick their conventional anxiety/stress treatment medication and replace it with CBD products then they should consult with their doctors first. This one simple step will yield the best results.
