CBD for painful periods
Every month, many women experience the inconvenience and discomfort caused by their periods. Many symptoms such as headaches, back pain, terrible cramps, digestive disorders or even mood swings related to their periods can significantly affect daily life.
Nearly one in two women suffer from painful periods . Faced with this observation, natural solutions have been developed to effectively relieve them.
Among them, CBD, or cannabidiol, would be an effective solution to combat menstrual pain suffered by women.
Why are periods painful?
In order to facilitate blood flow, the uterus contracts. This can cause more or less severe pain in the lower abdomen during menstruation.
Additionally, the phenomenon of menstrual inflammation may be due to hormonal imbalance, which usually occurs in the first cycles during puberty.
However, these pains can be linked to a more severe pathology such as endometriosis. This is a chronic gynecological disease, which affects one in ten women .
It is characterized by the development of a uterine lining (endometrium) outside the uterus, surrounding other organs. It is therefore strongly recommended to consult a doctor to treat it as soon as possible.
In addition, uterine contractions can be enhanced by the presence of large amounts of the hormone prostaglandin.
Finally, a study highlighted the role of a protein called C-reactive protein (or CRP) in the onset of premenstrual syndrome. The latter is a disorder that manifests itself by irritability, anxiety, difficulty managing emotions, a depressive state, breast pain or even headaches that occur during the 7 or 10 days preceding the cycle.
What is CBD (cannabidiol)?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a molecule from the hemp plant, also called cannabis. CBD belongs to the cannabinoid family, it is the second most studied cannabinoid after THC.
However, unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD has no psychotropic effects and its consumption does not create any dependency. Thus, cannabidiol is not considered a narcotic and is legal in France.
Increasingly popular in France in recent years, CBD is a 100% natural product that is said to have many therapeutic virtues. Consuming CBD would help calm emotional stress, promote relaxation, facilitate falling asleep, or even relieve pain and inflammation.
CBD for painful periods
CBD could be an alternative and an effective natural solution to relieve menstrual pain .
In fact, CBD would be considered a catalyst of sorts. By acting on the nervous system to reduce the impact of pain, CBD transmits the message to the body to not take pain stimuli into consideration.
By activating CB1 and CB2 receptors in the body, CBD may help better manage pain and therefore be effective in relieving female ailments.
Scientific studies have shown that receptors exist in the cells of the uterus, meaning that the pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties of CBD could directly soothe menstrual pain.
How to take CBD and in what form?
Today, there are many CBD-based products (capsules, chewing gum, infusions, CBD candies , gummies, oils, food products, e-liquids for electronic cigarettes, etc.), to choose according to your personal preferences.
For optimal effects, it is best to choose a full spectrum CBD oil. This is the most effective way to enjoy the beneficial effects of cannabidiol on menstrual pain.
