CBD oil for menopause - what are its benefits?

Cannabidiol, or CBD oil, is a compound derived from the hemp which has been on everyone's lips in recent years, mainly thanks to numerous character studies in animal and clinical models highlighting its therapeutic potential for pain and anxiety. This compound is a potential solution for a number of conditions and this is stated by both our customers and the vast majority of people who have experienced its effects. How can CBD help during the menopause, and is it worth using? Read on to find out the latest on CBD and the Menopause.

What is menopause?

Menopause is the biological moment that marks the end of menstrual cycles in women. It is diagnosed after up to 12 months have passed without a menstrual period. Menopause can usually occur between the ages of 40 and 50, but the average age is 49 in Spain and 51 in the United States.

Menopause is a completely natural biological process, as natural as menstruation. However, physical symptoms, such as hot flashes and hot flushes along with the emotional symptoms of menopause, can disrupt sleep, decrease energy or affect mental health in strong ways. There are many effective treatments available: from lifestyle adjustments to hormone therapy and the cbd oil.

The most common symptoms of menopause are:

  • Unbalanced periods,
  • Heavy menstruation (if this has not been the case before),
  • More bleeding than usual,
  • Feeling of heat,
  • Urinary tract infections,
  • Incontinence,
  • Insomnia,
  • Depression.


What are the benefits of CBD for menopause?

CBD (cannabidiol) gains its potential through its power to interact with the endocannabinoid system, which includes a variety of receptors scattered throughout the body, cannabinoid receptors located in the body's tissues and organs, such as the brain. the most studied are CB1 and CB2.

Surprisingly enough, it turns out that this endocannabinoid system plays an essential role in all processes in our body, including the menopause, and CBD can affect its functioning.

Cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) are also found, among others, in the female reproductive system and in the digestive tract, and its functioning is altered during menopause and in general, in any stressful situation suffered by our body. Therefore, the regular application of CBD oil can have a positive impact on the receptors, which can result in relief from bothersome symptoms.

Although no studies have focused on the CBD for menopausethe investigations claim that cannabinoids may have qualities that help reduce inflammation, pain and sleep disorders.

Therefore, CBD oil can potentially mitigate the following menopausal symptoms:

  • Hormone-induced mood swings and other menopause-related symptoms,
  • Sleep disorders resulting from malfunctioning of the endocannabinoid systemthe anxiety and the stress.
  • Bone and joint pain. Unfortunately, up to 25% of women over the age of 65 suffer from osteoporosis. Low bone density makes women's bones prone to fractures. Preventing osteoporosis is therefore crucial for a long and healthy life.

How to use CBD to treat the side effects of menopause?

Currently, in the Spanish market, we can find products with CBD, to improve the quality of sleep and mood stabilisation. There are different formats depending on the needs of each person, there are CBD oils, which can be ingested (in Spain its ingested use is not regulated and therefore we cannot recommend it).

To improve skin quality, there are creamsCBD, ointments and topical oils that can be applied directly to the skin, to soothe muscle aches and pains or skin stresses. The amount of CBD to be used will vary depending on factors such as the severity of symptoms and personal body weight.

Because CBD is a super molecule

Final conclusions

In short, CBD oil, as well as its various forms, can be an ideal solution for women who have very pronounced menopausal symptoms, offering a natural alternative that is increasingly backed by science for this situation in life.

Cannabinoid compounds (molecules derived from the Cannabis sativa plant) act both through the nervous system and in other tissues and organs of the body.

CBD has been found to play a key role in receptors located in many of our physiological systems, including the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS plays a regulatory role and helps maintain homeostasis. Thus, it is involved in mood, immunity, mood, mood, and painsleep and fertility. Phytocannabinoids such as CBD "activate" the SEC.

Benefits of using CBD to relieve menopausal symptoms

There is extensive research on the benefits of CBD for menopause. It can therefore be a substitute for prescription hormone drugs.

-Improves sleep quality. Cannabidiol has anxiolytic (anxiety-inhibiting) effects, stabilises blood pressure and relaxes muscles. This can help you fall into a deeper and more restful sleep.

-It can help to protect bones and joints. Reduced oestrogen levels can cause bones to become progressively weaker. In that case, there is a (non-clinical) study where they seem to have found that CBD can stimulate bone density growth, thanks to the involvement of CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors.

-It is a natural alternative. Its properties prevent serious side effects, unlike the chemical drugs commonly prescribed in Spain.

-It can help to improve your mood. Let's face it, suffering constant pain or having unbearable working hours are things that can affect our mental state. The dreaded stress, where in few doses it is good and in many it can be even lethal. The CBD oilby interacting with your endocannabinoid system it can stabilise anxiety processes, especially studies have shown that it improves social anxiety in particular.
