CBD based products are all the rage right now! Seems like every time you turn on the news, cannabis or cannabis derived products are being talked about. CBD stand for “cannabidiol” and is derived from the cannabis plant aka marijuana. In December 2018 a farm bill legalized production of hemp which is nonpsychoactive and will not get you high. This has now opened the floodgages for a legal CBD market for hemp derived products.
You can find many CBD based products on Amazon and other sites with benefits being touted that range from helping with sore muscles, digestion, skin, and anxiety. Since I am constantly searching for ways to control my anxiety and stress I decided to try hemp oil.
My Experience with Hemp Oil
There are several hemp oils listed on Amazon so after reading the reviews I decided to try two different ones. My first experience was with Nature’s Landscape Hemp Oil (500 mg). I filled the dropper with oil and squirt it under my tongue. This oil has a nice peppermint taste. It may be the placebo effect but I swear I can feel the soothing calmness from this oil almost immediately. Shortly after taking this oil it feels as if my anxiety is melting away. It doesnt make me drowsy but it seems to make me sleep better. I normally wake up at 3 or 4am and since I have been taking this oil I have been sleeping through the night.
This stuff really works to relieve your anxiety! I had a big presentation that I was worried about. Normally worrying about giving this presentation I would have been stressing constantly and it would have ruined my weekend. However I just took oil throughout the weekend and felt calm and relaxed and enjoyed the weekend with my family. Later in the week when I gave the presentation I took some oil about an hour before to calm my nerves. I nailed the presentation!
The other hemp oil that I tried was R+R Hemp Oil (1000mg) and this CBD oil is absolutely amazing! I wanted to go with a stronger dosage to see how i would feel and I could immediately tell the difference. Following the directions I placed a dropper full under my tongue and let is stay there one minute before swallowing. You can definitely taste the hemp and after a couple of minuites i can feel my stress melting away and my blood pressure going down. This oil relaxes me but doesnt make me drowsy or foggy. In fact I take it every morning before work where I have to think quickly on my feet all day. This stuff really works just check out the reviews on Amazon.
This oil also helps me sleep deeply through the night. So if you are dealing with anxiety give this oil a try. You might just surprise yourself with how calm and relaxed you can be!
