All about stress
Stress is not an illness; it's a sensation, a feeling often generated by external events:
- Difficult professional situation ;
- Confused personal situation;
- Tragic event;
- Poor lifestyle.
Anti-stress treatments exist for those who can't cope with anxiety peaks. Benzodiazepines are often suggested. Classic treatments include Rivotril, Xanax and Ativan. These treatments are, however, very heavy, with undesirable side effects such as addiction, drowsiness, extreme fatigue, etc.
For all these reasons, more and more people are turning to natural alternatives to help them feel better. CBD, for example, is increasingly in demand. It has a number of advantages, such as having no side effects and being non-addictive. But what does it do for stress and anxiety?
The effects of CBD on stress
In concrete terms, CBD is thought to act in several different ways on the mechanisms responsible for the onset of stress andanxiety. Several studies tend to demonstrate this. But how does it work in practice?
Cortisol and serotonin
Stress is caused by an imbalance in the production of serotonin, the happy hormone, and cortisol, the hormone responsible for stress. CBD, through its action on :
- 5-HT1A, associated with anxiety, addictions or sleep ;
- 5-HT2A, associated with stress or sleep disorders;
- 5-HT3A, associated with mood swings.
directly impacts levels of serotonin (which rise) and cortisol (which fall), helping to restore a more stable state of mind. In short, CBD promotes relaxation by having a direct impact on the mechanisms responsible for stress.
CBD and antioxidant effects
The body has a tendency to produce "free radicals". These are directly responsible for stress, and can even promote the onset of potentially serious illnesses such as cancer or Parkinson's disease.
In the face of stress, the body tends to have difficulty fighting these free radicals. It then has a much harder time limiting their proliferation. CBD's antioxidant properties, coupled with its action on cortisol and serotonin, mean that the body is better equipped to deal with these attacks from within.
CBD and homeostasis
One of the reasons for stress and anxiety is lifestyle. If we don't take care of our bodies, through food, sleep, relaxation and rest, they become tired more quickly, and more susceptible to the effects of stress.
CBD has a direct impact on this virtuous circle, known ashomeostasis. In fact, cannabidiol promotes relaxation, allowing you to sleep better, wake up feeling refreshed, have a healthy appetite, etc., thanks to its action on the endocannabinoid system.
Finally, this action on homeostasis has an impact on general well-being. Naturally, when you're in better shape and in a better mood, it's much easier to deal with stress peaks, anxiety or the beginnings of depression.
What else can you do with CBD?
CBD is not an end in itself. Consuming cannabidiol-based products alone does not mean a complete "cure" for stress. It is a complement to the practices you must undertake yourself.
Opting for a better living environment, getting psychological support, opting for practices such as yoga or meditation, all these actions that you will undertake, in addition to consuming a CBD-based product, will enable you to regain a more relaxed state.
Finally, studying alternative medicines, particularly herbal ones, can help the body to better manage the crises of the most anxious.
Which CBD product to take to combat stress?
