How can CBD help for the menopause?

There are many natural and prescribed remedies for symptoms of the menopause. However, more and more people are looking for a more natural solution, without side effects. CBD has been known to help settle some of the symptoms listed above.

SLEEP & ANXIETY

If you are struggling to sleep because of the menopause, then CBD might be worth a try. CBD has a calming effect, that many people report. This calming effect can not only help you win your battle with sleep, but also reduce another symptom, anxiety.

MOOD

If you have noticed your mood has changed then you might not feel quite yourself. CBD helps with mood changes as it works to treat a poorly functioning endocannabinoid system. This system is disrupted during the menopause.  In a study involving mice, it was found that CBD operates in the brain in a similar way to antidepressants.

BONE DENSITY LOSS

If you have low bone density then you will increase the risk of fractures. There has been researching to show that CBD interacts with a cannabinoid receptor that may help to reduce bone density loss.

HOT FLASHES

Hot flushes are one of the most common menopause symptoms and CBD might well help. They are disruptive to daily life and can also affect your sleep. This is going to cause some frustration. CBD might be able to help as it has an influence on the body’s serotonin system.
