How can CBD be used for a hangover?
We know that CBD can help with a whole host of issues and conditions. It has become a popular remedy for headaches, cancer symptoms, epilepsy, nausea, depression, anxiety, Parkinson’s, sleep disorders and more. You’ll notice that some of those conditions come with a hangover too. Here are a few ways in which CBD might help lift the hangover fog.
Soothe hangover headaches with CBD
CBD works with cell receptors to reduce pain and inflammation. So have a pint of water, a few drops of CBD on your tongue and see how it soothes the headache.
Relieve nausea
CBD can help a hangover by relieving nausea. If you were hitting it hard or mixing drinks you might feel quite fragile. CBD triggers 5-hydroxytryptamine-1A that reduces the sensation of nausea. So alongside some ice cold water and bland food you should be right as rain.
Get some sleep
When you have a hangover you might have the 6 am curse or inability to get back to sleep, even though that is just what you need. CBD helps to relax the body and promote sleep.
Relax and forget about the anxiety
If you are feeling anxious after a night out for no apparent reason this is normal. Alcohol can do that! CBD helps to reduce anxiety by working with the body’s endocannabinoid system. This system plays a part in mood and relaxation. You might even like to try a CBD bath bomb to really help you relax.
Boost your mood
Alcohol is a depressant. Spend a night on the sauce and you might find yourself feeling a little bleak either the next day or a few days later. Think Tuesday blues-day. CBD has been known to help people with depression. CBD seems to have a positive interaction with the serotonin receptors in your brain. Enhancing your mood.
So next time you have one too many give CBD a try the next day. You can vape it, drop it on your tongue, bake it into CBD cupcakes or CBD brownies, use bath bombs or try edibles.
