It’s perfectly normal to feel different levels of stress throughout your life – but just because it happens doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do about it. In fact, there are a number of big and small changes you can make to increase your daily mental health. But you don’t have to do it on your own. Don’t be afraid to lean on friends and family along the way, and if that’s still not enough, cbdMD might be able to help.
CBD and stress relief techniques pack a powerful punch when used together. Just as vitamins are only meant to supplement a healthy lifestyle, not replace one, CBD is best used as a support for a good stress management routine. Even so, it can be hard to know when to use one technique over another, so we’ve compiled a few answers to some of the most commonly asked questions including:
- How do CBD and stress interact with each other?
- How else can I combat stress?
- What are the best CBD products for stress management?
- Which CBD products should I use for all day stress relief?
How Do CBD and Stress Relief Go Together?
For many of us, experiencing stress weekly (or even daily) is nothing new. Sometimes stress is brought on by specific life events and circumstances, but other times it can simply be a product of your environment and mental health. Stress can look like different things to different people, such as nervous laughter, floor pacing, an increased heart rate, and much more.
So how do CBD and stress relief go together? With such a wide variety of stress responses, it only stands to reason that there would need to be a variation in remedies. And it just so happens that CBD can be used in a number of ways, as we’ll discuss later on. But first, let’s address some active skills you can use to help you cope with stress – all of which are even more effective when used in combination with CBD.
CBD and Active Skills for Coping with Stress
At cbdMD, we’ll be the first to tell you that CBD alone won’t solve all your problems, no matter what they are. But what it can do is supplement your health and lifestyle choices so that you get the most out of every experience. Which is why we recommend implementing skills for coping with stress alongside your everyday CBD wellness routine.
Start with something simple that helps you to relax, like listening to your favorite music, working on your deep breathing, and exercising. Whatever you choose to do, don’t let it add pressure to your daily routine. Start small, and if exercising one day helps you to relax and relieve stress but doesn’t the next day, try listening to music instead, and so on. What works for you may not work for everyone, and what works for you one day might not be the best solution the next.
And remember that it’s perfectly normal to struggle both with stress and with relieving it. But in the meantime, we hope to help you with that process by providing a list of some of the best
CBD products to help you relax during the day, after the workday, and in the evening so you can have a restful night’s sleep. Plus, they make some of the best gifts for those in your life who might also struggle with stress and anxiety.
The Best CBD Products for Stress Management
CBD and stress relief go hand in hand, because CBD oil brings holistic benefits. Unlike other supplements, CBD can improve your mood and quality of sleep while also promoting relaxation and a sense of calm. All of which can help to drastically decrease both cortisol and stress levels.
Of course, different kinds of CBD products are used differently and for a range of reasons. Taking a daily CBD oil tincture or gummy can help you stay cool throughout the day, or you can take a special CBD sleep aid at night so you’ll snooze your cares away.
Or maybe you’re interested in learning how levels of Delta 9 THC in CBD and stress interact? The answer probably won’t surprise you – less than the federally legal amount of THC (0.3 percent) can still greatly increase the benefits you receive from CBD.
No matter the reason for your stress, we have a few CBD products to help you relax during the day, at the end of the day, and at night so you can have some quality sleep.
All-Day Calm
CBD and stress relief techniques can be used at various times throughout the day, but if you’re looking for a solution to your consistent, daily stress, there are two products in particular that we’d recommend.
Full Spectrum CBD Oil Tinctures
Our full spectrum CBD formula is similar to our broad spectrum formula but with one key difference: it contains THC. Still less than the federally legal limit (0.3 percent) of course, but just enough to get the full benefits of the entourage effect. In simplest terms, that means by increasing the number of cannabinoids in your system, you’re increasing the level of benefits you can receive from them.
While our broad spectrum CBD oil tinctures do make a great addition to any wellness and stress relieving routine, our full spectrum CBD oil tinctures increase the benefits for many people, especially the calming and relaxing qualities. So if you can add the federally legal amount of THC to your wellness routine, we highly recommend it. Because while CBD and stress relief can go hand in hand, if our other CBD products aren’t getting the job done, a little THC might be just what your system needs.
It’s important to note that you should check with your state, work, or travel restrictions before consuming THC. Because while the amount of THC in our full spectrum CBD formula is legal, it can still show up on a drug test.
CBD Calming Gummies with Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is a natural herb which is quickly rising in popularity thanks to its stress-relieving properties. It’s also been known to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels, increase your concentration, and support heart health and your immune system.
Our CBD and ashwagandha gummies pack some powerful relaxation in every bite. Both our broad spectrum CBD Calming Gummies and our full spectrum CBD Calm Gummies are made with calming herbal ingredients like valerian root, lemon balm, L-theanine, and chamomile, along with 300 mg of ashwagandha per serving.
Relax the Night Away
Once the workday is done and you finally get to go home, you might find that some of your stress from the day has tagged along, casting a dark cloud over what should otherwise be a naturally relaxing time. This is a great time to break out our Delta 9 THC products, which provide a more intense relaxation for your downtime.
Delta 9 THC Gummies
Our Delta 9 THC gummies contain 50 mg of CBD and 10 mg of THC – enough to be mildly intoxicating for most people, and to give you that extra mellow to take your mind off your troubles. Choose from delicious Cherry or Blue Razz flavors for the perfect evening snack!
Delta 9 THC Tablets
With 2.5 mg of THC and 10 mg of CBD each, these cranberry-orange tablets let you calibrate your CBD intake a little more finely than the gummies. Take up to four at a time to help you chill out when it’s time for some self-care after your busy day.
Say Goodbye to Stressful, Sleepless Nights
If you find that your stress manifests itself in racing thoughts that keep you up at night, using a combination of melatonin and CBD right before bed might be just what you need.
CBD Oil for Sleep with Melatonin
The melatonin in our broad spectrum CBD oil for sleep and full spectrum CBD oil for sleep works naturally with your body to help you maintain a healthy sleep cycle. To make sure you get your best rest, we’ve combined the 50 mg of CBD and 5 mg of melatonin per serving with a Special Herbal Blend including extracts of valerian root, chamomile, hops, lemon balm and passion flower, all naturally flavored with mint. This is the fastest acting sleep aid if you hold it under your tongue for 30 to 60 seconds before swallowing.
CBD PM Softgel Capsules with Melatonin
Our CBD PM softgels offer a great option for those who want something quick and easy to swallow, as well as flavorless. While our softgels contain 50 mg of CBD formula per serving, they also include just 3 mg of melatonin so you have the option of choosing a milder sleep aid. And like the rest of our sleep aids, you can choose from broad spectrum and full spectrum versions.
CBD Gummies for Sleep with Melatonin
Our CBD gummies for sleep use a slightly different formula: they still include CBD, melatonin, chamomile, lemon balm, and valerian, but also have a similar ashwagandha blend as the calming gummies. Plus, their raspberry flavor is absolutely delicious. Try broad spectrum CBD gummies for sleep with 25 mg of CBD per serving, or full spectrum CBD gummies for sleep with 50 mg of CBD and 2 mg of THC.
Although you’ll find the same 5 mg of melatonin in both the gummies or tincture, offering a variety of options allows you to choose whichever method and CBD strength is best for you.
