Why Does CBD Work For Anxiety

By now it's common knowledge that CBD has benefits reported by millions of daily users. Over the years I've spoken to thousands of people seeking CBD or other alternatives for stress, pain and anxiety. I have learned that many people are open to trying anything if it works. As we have seen the numbers of users grow we have also seen more and more reports on research conducted on cannabinoids CBD being one of those clearly show there is something special here.

How It Works

The human body has many systems, the specific one CBD and other cannabinoids react with is the Endocannabinoid System. It's function isn't limited and is linked to other critical systems such as your Peripheral Nervous System and Nervous System. So CBD for anxiety maybe just one role it plays among many in the human body.

The Receptors CB1 And CB2

These 2 CB receptors in my belief maybe responsible for how anxiety is reduced and why some use it for pain relief successfully. The CB1 Receptor is responsible for governing other neurotransmitters in the brain or body, this maybe to increase or decrease and even block access to certain pathways. There evidence that when these CB receptors are blocked anxiety can increase in an individual. This is where CBD comes in and stimulates a response from these receptors which then sends signals every where else.

The Data

Fear and anxiety are adaptive responses essential to coping with threats to survival. Yet excessive or persistent fear may be maladaptive, leading to disability. Symptoms arising from excessive fear and anxiety occur in a number of neuropsychiatric disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder (PD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), and obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). Notably, PTSD and OCD are no longer classified as anxiety disorders in the recent revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5. 

however, excessive anxiety is central to the symptomatology of both disorders. These anxiety-related disorders are associated with a diminished sense of well-being, elevated rates of unemployment and relationship breakdown, and elevated suicide risk. Together, they have a lifetime prevalence in the USA of 29 %, the highest of any mental disorder, and constitute an immense social and economic burden.

The Balance

The body is constantly working even while you sleep to maintain a balance, homeostasis is what the body seeks. There many factors that hinder it's speed in which it can achieve and maintain it, overall health is a big one. We all know that many of the diseases we have are preventable, perhaps it has something to do with the way we live.
