For the last few months we have been selling CBD tinctures in the clinic and they have very fast become one of our most popular products. Many people have researched on the internet and found there is a possibility CBD can help them. This is great, although it’s possibly anecdotal so I’d like to bring you some science backing CBD in this newsletter.

A very common question I have been asked is whether CBD can be used on children for anxiety. In this newsletter I am going to give the basics of CBD, answer the questions about children and also list conditions that CBD and the system it works on have been scientifically studied to help.

This way you can make an informed decision on whether to try CBD yourself or for your family.

CBD basics

CBD or ….. it a phytonutrient or natural chemical that is found in the hemp plant. It is the part that DOES NOT have psychoactive properties so does not make you “high”.

CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system or ECS system which is part of our nervous system. The ECS is know to influence a wide variety of body systems and organs which is why CBD from hemp can be beneficial in such a wide array of issues.

Because ECS system is linked to nearly every body system including the benefits of CBD range from supporting:

- Immune health
- Pain response (both physical and emotional)
- Sleep patterns
- Mood
- Gut function
- Gut microbiome
- Appetite
- Metabolism
- Hormone balance
- Fertility and so much more.

In fact the ECS is now being demonstrated to play central roles in diseases and conditions ranging from:

- Insomnia
- Pain
- Anxiety
- PTSD
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Endometriosis.

And just lastly this is the scientific study showing how CBD helped teenagers with social anxiety, so if you wanted to read some more you can look at this link.

It’s all about balance

Like many natural substances CBD has a BALANCING affect which brings homeostasis to the body. CBD has this balancing affect on the nervous system. For example, if something is low then CBD can bring it up and into balance, and conversely is something is high is can lower and bring back into balance too. This is called ADAPTOGENIC.

Another example of this is ginseng which could give a tired person energy yet can also bring calm to someone that is stressed and buzzy.

However, everyone is an individual. I never like to think of anything as a cure all as we are all different and interact with substances differently. So to some degree you have to give it a go and see if it works for you.

Dosage

This is what is great about hemp CBD. You can start at a very low dose, just one drop in the morning and one at night. This is for adults and children. After five days you can creep up to 2 drops morning and evening and work up to 3 drops if you need. Otherwise just pause at the dose that helps you.
The 500mg Hemp CBD oil below is the lower dose CBD you can get. We do also have 1000mg and 1500mg so if you are interested in stronger doses just email me.


Pain and inflammation

CBD has been scientifically shown to help pain in a number of different ways, with physically and emotionally. Another plant based nutrient that is popular with helping pain and inflammation is curcumin. CBDfx who we use for our CBD products also has a product with this in.
