According to a survey, CBD usage is higher amongst females in the UK
If there’s one thing that all women can relate to, it’s how messed up our hormones can be, with us all experiencing hormone imbalances at some point in our lives. The chemical messengers sent from the glands that comprise the endocrine system which are regulated by the Hypothalamus gland in our brains moderate our endocrine system and can vary over time or when we are ill. Under or over activity in glands can influence messenger activity in the endocrine system thus impact our overall health, triggering conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorder, PCOS or Addison’s disease, so, it’s a topic worth some attention and understanding.
When it comes to women’s health, could CBD restore imbalances in your hormone production? CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties are recognised to help alleviate pain, anxiety, improve sleep patterns and brain function as well as skin conditions. Always consult your doctor first.
PMS and period pain
As many as 800,00 (30%) of women experience moderate to severe PMS. PMS symptoms can include mood swings, depression, tiredness, fatigue, anxiety and sleep disorders. Whilst there isn’t a cure for PMS, research shows that CBD may be effective in alleviating physical pain from cramps, to having mood balancing and anxiety-relieving properties.
Perimenopause and menopause
Building up to menopause, oestrogen levels fluctuate affecting changes to hormone levels, a higher production of inflammatory molecules, skin texture changes, brain fog, stress ad sleep changes. Around 40% of women complain about sleep in their 40s, according to this study. Although acne is predominant in adolescence, a 2019 publishing found that acne has become a prevalent menopausal effect.
