The Link Between CBD and Mental Health



Within the last few years, the popularity of CBD oil has soared due to its potential health benefits. CBD (technically Cannabidiol) oil is made by extracting CBD from the cannabis plant and mixing it with a carrier oil, such as coconut or hemp seed oil. CBD oil is so new to the U.S. market that clinical trials have yet to reveal the extent of its efficacy. However, try a Google searching CBD and thousands upon thousands of testimonials reveal a multitude of claimed benefits. CBD for mental health issues is a rapidly growing trend as it has been linked to greatly reducing anxiety and depression.


According to healthline.com, although the research is relatively new and ongoing, it is thought that CBD interacts with CB1 receptors found in the central nervous system and CB2 receptors found in the peripheral nervous system. While the exact effects of CBD on CB1 receptors is not confirmed, it is believed to alter serotonin indicators. Serotonin plays an important part in a person’s mental health. Low serotonin levels are commonly associated with anxiety and depression. Anxiety and depression have commonly been treated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as Zoloft or Prozac, but are only available by prescription.


CBD oil can potentially be a natural alternative for those struggling with anxiety and depression. According to psychologytoday.com, the World Health Organization issued a list of conditions that CBD benefits. After studies on both humans and animals, it was found that CBD can lower feelings of loneliness and separation by calming the brain and supporting the hippocampus, the area of the brain that controls emotion.


There are hundreds of brands of CBD oil available, but because the industry is relatively new and unregulated, selecting the right brand is paramount. There are many imitations that are being sold as CBD oil so it is imperative to know where your product comes from.
