CBD and Menopause

Natural Relief for Menopause Symptoms

As you may know 🙈, the Menopause often brings hot flushes, mood swings, sleep disturbances and joint pain, all of which can significantly impact daily life.  So it's not surprising that I get asked frequently, if CBD can help alleviate any of these symptoms. 

So I've gathered together some of the ways in which  CBD can (and does) support women during menopause, the benefits, and the best ways to incorporate it into your wellness routine.

How CBD Can Help 

Hot Flushes and Night Sweats

Hot flushes and night sweats are among the most common symptoms of menopause.  Working with your Endocannabinoid system, CBD can help to regulate body temperature.

Mood Swings and Anxiety

Menopause can bring about significant mood changes, including increased anxiety and depression. CBD is known for its calming effects and can help regulate mood by influencing the serotonin receptors in the brain. Many women find that CBD helps them manage stress and anxiety, promoting a more balanced emotional state​​.

Sleep Disturbances

Insomnia and other sleep issues are common during menopause. CBD can help to bring about a more restful sleep by reducing anxiety and pain, which are often underlying causes of sleep disturbances. 

Joint Pain and Inflammation

CBD is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help alleviate joint pain. By reducing inflammation, CBD can improve mobility and comfort, making daily activities more manageable​​.

How to Incorporate CBD into Your Routine

CBD Oil

CBD oil is one of the most versatile and popular forms. It can be taken sublingually (under the tongue) for fast absorption or added to your favorite foods and drinks. Start with a low dose and gradually increase it until you find the amount that works best for you.

CBD Edibles

For those who prefer a tastier option, CBD edibles like gummies and brownies are a great choice. They offer a pre-measured dose of CBD and can be a convenient way to ensure you're getting your daily intake.

CBD Topicals

If you suffer from localised pain or skin issues, CBD topicals such as creams and balms can be directly applied to the affected area. This method allows for targeted relief and can be especially beneficial for joint pain and inflammation.

CBD Capsules

Capsules provide a simple and discreet way to take CBD. They are easy to incorporate into your daily supplement routine and ensure a consistent dose each time.

In Conclusion

CBD offers a natural and effective way to manage many of the symptoms associated with menopause. Whether you're dealing with hot flushes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, or joint pain, incorporating CBD into your wellness routine could provide much-needed relief.

Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications​​.
