CBD for painful periods

Every month, many women experience the discomfort and inconvenience of their periods. Symptoms such as headaches, back pain, terrible cramps, digestive upsets, and even period-related mood swings can significantly affect daily life.

Nearly one in two women suffer from painful periods. In response, natural solutions have been developed to effectively soothe them.

Among them, CBD, or cannabidiol, would be an effective solution to combat menstrual pain suffered by women.

Why are periods painful?

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 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. This disorder is characterized by irritability, anxiety, difficulty managing emotions, depression, breast pain, and headaches that occur in the 7 to 10 days before the cycle.

What is CBD (cannabidiol)?

CBD (cannabidiol) is a molecule derived from the hemp plant, also known as cannabis. CBD belongs to the cannabinoid family and is the second most studied cannabinoid after THC.

However, unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD has no psychotropic effects and its consumption is not addictive. Therefore, 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 numerous therapeutic benefits. Consuming CBD can help calm emotional stress, promote relaxation, facilitate sleep, and 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 is considered a catalyst of sorts. By acting on the nervous system to reduce the impact of pain, CBD sends the message to the body to ignore painful stimuli.

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?

There are now many CBD-based products (capsules, chewing gum, infusions, CBD candies , gummies, oils, food products, e-liquids for electronic cigarettes, etc.), to choose from according to your personal preferences.

For optimal results, it's best to choose a broad-spectrum CBD oil. This is the most effective way to enjoy the beneficial effects of cannabidiol on menstrual pain.

Tips for Using CBD Period Care Oil – Painful Periods

The most effective and common way to consume CBD oil is to place a few drops under the tongue and wait 50 seconds before swallowing. The product passes directly into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes, so the effects of CBD will be felt very quickly.

It is also possible to put the drops of CBD oil in a drink (tea, coffee, juice, etc.) or in a dish.

Dosage of CBD oil for painful periods:

At the very beginning, it is recommended to take 4 to 5 drops of oil, 1 to 2 times a day and gradually increase the quantity consumed until the desired effects are obtained.
