Stressed Out? CBD may be your new stress management tool - Leaf Remedys

Feeling overwhelmed? Burned out? Or stretched too thin? Well then friend, you’re stressed.

When we think about what stress is, it’s important not to get caught up in one single definition — because stress encompasses a multitude of feelings, emotions, and physical symptoms [¹].

It’s that uneasy feeling you get right after someone cuts you off in traffic, or before you take a big test, give a speech, or engage in certain social settings.

It’s also that overwhelming sense of sadness when you just lose someone in your family, or receive life-alerting medical news.

It’s even those jitters you experience right before you walk down the aisle, go on your first date, or start a new job.

Stress is normal, and you will experience different levels of it at some point in your life. And while there are different types of stress, both good and bad, it’s important that your level of stress doesn’t get out of hand.

Even prolonged “good” stress can change forms, and the last thing you want to do is develop prolonged chronic stress of any kind. Chronic stress can wreak havoc on your body, leaving you feeling an array of both physical and mental symptoms.

So how do we manage or cope with our stress?

Well, you might be surprised to learn that CBD can work wonders in stress management.

Let’s take a look…

CBD and Stress Response

Since stress is our body’s response to danger, challenges, and demands, it’s important that you know what’s triggering your stress in the first place [²].

Maybe your new job comes with a big learning curve. Or you're feeling overwhelmed because you’re not eating a balanced diet. Or maybe you’re feeling exhausted and burned out because you’re not getting enough sleep.

Stress can impact every single aspect of your life if you don’t learn how to manage it properly. And this is where CBD can often help pick up the slack.

You see, CBD has a way of influencing how our Endocannabinoid System responds to stress. And since our ECS is responsible for regulating and maintaining our internal balance, it’s no wonder that so many people feel stress relief after taking CBD [³].

When it comes to stress management, you may be surprised to learn that CBD is most people's remedy of choice. And here’s why…

CBD is less invasive, thoroughly studied, and packed with medicinal nutrients that gently guide our body back to homeostasis [³].

But not all CBD can achieve this kind of medicinal value. It has to be well formulated, high quality CBD in order to be effective.

Where to Buy CBD for Stress?

Since stress has a way of inducing a multitude of symptoms –– like lack of focus, panic, anxiety, poor sleep, exhaustion, fatigue, fear, digestive problems, and muscle tension –– it’s important that you choose a CBD product that’s packed with other ingredients that help target your issues [].

For example, if you’re having issues with focus, look for CBD capsules that contain focus-promoting ingredients. Or if you’re having issues getting proper rest, consider trying a CBD soft gel that’s formulated with sleep-promoting properties.

Many people even swear by CBD cooling gels to address their normal daily body tension.

While we all know that CBD oil is perhaps the most popular way to benefit from CBD, other products like CBD gummies can be just as effective, if not more, for certain people.

The key is to only buy high quality CBD from reputable brands like us. We know a thing or two about stress, and when we create our CBD products, we’re not only formulating them for you, we’re formulating them for us as well.

So take control of your stress today and see how CBD might be able to help you.
