Finding the Best CBD Oil for Anxiety, Inflammation and Sleep

It is estimated that 31% of all adults will experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their life and anxiety affects 40 million adults as of 2020. Types of anxiety can range from generalized anxiety to panic disorders, social anxiety and PTSD.

CBD Oil and Mental Health: Anxiety, Depression & Sleep

CBD is not regulated as a drug by the FDA which means CBD manufacturers and retailers are not able to make medical claims. However, countless research has concluded that CBD oil can alleviate anxiety and help improve sleep.  In addition, preclinical evidence suggests CBD oil can help decrease feelings of social isolation, improve autistic tendencies, and even lessen PTSD symptoms. In Psychology Today's "CBD Oil for Mental Health- Should You Take it Too?", Peter Bongiorno, ND, LAc, author and past-president of the New York Association of Naturopathic Physicians, writes:

For decades, the World Health Organization’s expert committee on drug dependence has offered a long list of conditions that CBD may benefit. Research studies on both animals and humans have shown that CBD may help lower feelings of isolation, relieve autism symptoms, and reduce the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It seems CBD can calm the brain and support the hippocampus, which is a brain area important for healthy emotion and memory.

CBD for Generalized & Situational Anxiety (Taking Tests or Public Speaking)

CBD, other minor cannabinoids, and terpenes can be properly combined for you to provide a synergistic, or entourage, effect. Studies are reporting additional success using CBD oil to help alleviate both generalized and specific forms of anxiety - i.e. test anxiety and speaking anxieties. A 2015 study titled "Cannabidiol as a Potential Treatment for Anxiety Disorders," by Ester M. Blessing, Maria M. Steenkamp, Jorge Manzanaras, and Charles R. Marmar; published in the Neurotherapeutics concluded

“Preclinical evidence conclusively demonstrates CBD’s efficacy in reducing anxiety behaviors relevant to multiple disorders, including PTSD (post-traumatic Stress Disorder), GAD ( Generalized Anxiety Disorder), PD (Phobia Disorder), OCD (obsessive-compulsive Disorder), and SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder) with a notable lack of anxiogenic effects”.
