CBD Oil for menopause
30 July 2020Every woman has to deal with it: menopause. This is the time in a woman’s life, in which menstruation slowly comes to a stop, which causes great hormonal changes in the body. Some women experience a lot of bothersome symptoms, which are so serious in nature, they disrupt their daily lives. If you would like to find a way to treat these complaints, using CBD Oil for menopause symptoms could be the right solution for you.
What is menopause?
The menopausal transition is part of the natural process of aging. As a woman, you have a limited amount of eggs and by the time you’re approximately 50 years old, the supply has run out. When there are less and less eggs, your body produces less female hormone (estrogen). Your menstruation will get more irregular, until it stops completely. When you haven’t had a period for more than a year, the menopausal transition is over.
For most women, menopause starts between the ages of 45 and 55, and this period lasts 4 years, on average. Menopause usually doesn’t go by without a struggle or complaints: 25% of women experience so many symptoms, that these disrupt their daily lives.
Most common symptoms:
- Irregular periods
- Trouble sleeping
- Hot flashes
- Painful joints or muscles
- Reduced sex drive
- Mood swings
- Osteoporosis
- Weight gain
- Headaches
- Feelings of depression
- Vaginal pain or discomfort caused by hormonal changes
Some women are bothered by one or more of these symptoms to such a degree, they seek treatment for them. One of the possibilities is hormone replacement treatment, where the lack of estrogen is replenished. Estrogen is administered, through vaginal suppository, an implant under the skin, through patches or tablets. Hormone treatments unfortunately do have side effects.
How can CBD Oil help during menopause?
There is a natural alternative to treat the symptoms you experience during menopause and that is taking CBD Oil. CBD, or cannabidiol, is a cannabinoid, a compound extracted from the hemp plant. What makes CBD an ideal remedy, is that it works with the body naturally. During menopause, the body gets out of balance, because the hormonal levels fluctuate.
When it comes to balance, CBD is a very interesting natural substance. In fact, CBD Oil can interact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in your body. The ECS is constantly working to control the balance, or homeostasis. Homeostasis is the dynamic balance between the important processes in your body. Our environment changes a lot throughout the day, but the inner balance of your body needs to be adjusted constantly. Supplements like CBD Oil can provide the endocannabinoid system a helping hand. This is very useful if you experience an imbalance in your body and CBD Oil can be very helpful during menopause.
Besides assist in bringing the balance back, CBD Oil can also help to relieve specific symptoms of menopause. Research has shown that there’s a connection between the endocannabinoid system and the female reproductive organs. This is the reason CBD can have a positive influence. Let us explain the positive influence CBD can have and how it could be useful during menopause.
CBD Oil for hot flashes during menopause
Hot flashes are one of the most notorious symptoms of the menopausal transition. You suddenly get very warm, you skin turns red and you might even break out in a sweat. A hot flash usually doesn’t last long, but it can be a nuisance. Your body can’t properly regulate your temperature. The system that controls your temperature is located in the hypothalamus. Because of the biochemical changes in the body, the system gets disrupted. Since CBD can influence the production of serotonin, through the ECS, it may also influence temperature regulation. Many women use CBD Oil or CBD Tablets to keep their hot flashes under control.
Painful joints, headaches and other pain related symptoms
Menopause can also be the cause of painful muscles and joints. The decrease in estrogen levels results in an increase of proteins, which promote inflammation. Many women (40 to 60%) experience arthritis-like symptoms during the menopausal transition. It’s a good idea to treat this with CBD Oil: it inhibits inflammation and has an analgesic effect.
These painkilling effects come in handy when you experience headaches during menopause. Also pain caused by heavy and irregular periods and pain or discomfort while having sex can be addressed with CBD. That makes our Full Spectrum CBD Oil a very divers and natural supplement for many different complaints of menopause.
Osteoporosis
The changes in the hormone levels during menopause can cause osteoporosis. This can occur during of right after menopause. This nasty condition weakens the structure of the bones, which makes them brittle so they can break more easily. CBD Oil can also provide a solution here, because CBD can help the ECS to prevent the weakening of your bones during menopause.
CBD Oil and weight gain during menopause
Many women gain weight during menopause, which can be very annoying. Since menopause is already a strange period in which you can feel uncertain about your body, you really don´t want to be dealing with these extra kilo’s. Thankfully, CBD Oil can come to the rescue by helping you to control your weight. That’s one less worry, which can also help with the dark moods many women experience during this period.
Mood changes and gloom
You can experience many mood changes during menopause, one moment you are crying, the next you’re laughing. It’s possible you feel more anxiety or gloom. The decrease in estrogen levels determines the effectiveness of serotonin and other neurotransmitters. This has a major impact on your feelings. CBD has a positive effect on your mood. CBD can collaborate with the ECS, which makes the ECS more reactive to the serotonin. Recent studies have shown that CBD has more or less the same effects as regular antidepressants. These positive effects will calm your mind down and you will have fewer problems with mood swings. As a bonus, with CBD Oil you won’t experience the nasty side effects like you get from antidepressants.
Sleep better with CBD Oil during menopause
Difficulty sleeping is never fun, but during menopause you absolutely don’t need that. Thankfully, CBD Oil can have a calming effect by stimulating the ECS, so you can sleep better and get the rest your body needs.
Can CBD Oil make menopause easier?
