Anxiety/ Depression
Anxiety can easily diminish a sufferer’s quality of life in several ways. It can be dealt with medically, but they are not always effective or the side effects are worse than the condition. Scientific studies show that cannabidiol is an effective remedy for anxiety, and many institutions and doctors are already suggesting its use. Evidence of CBD’s anxiolytic effects has been shown in a growing number of scientific studies. CBD, an essential constituent of the industrial hemp, has specific anti-anxiety effects without psycho-activity or cognitive impairment.
A comprehensive review of the medical literature on the anxiolytic properties of CBD reveals a studies that show considerable decrease in anxiety using cannabidiol. Anxiety and fear appear to be controlled by way of natural brain mechanisms. Other studies have confirmed that CBD acts works in this way.
In my experience CBD can be highly effective. There is no toxic dose, and, unlike typical psychotropic medications and antidepressants, cannabidiol has a number of added benefits as opposed to adverse effects. A suggested amount of 10mg of CBD Liposomes per day in divided servings is a good starting point. Adjust the amount to individual need in the first few days. A comparable dose in tincture would be 30mg per day.
Capsules may have a delayed onset but longer duration of action. In some people the liver metabolizes CBD very quickly. You may want to compare sublingual doses of capsules to oral doses. To experience sublingual dose bite the capsule open, swish in the mouth for two minutes, and swallow or discard the capsule shell . Compare the onset and duration for both methods to see if you are a rapid metabolizer.
• Frequency: My suggestion is CBD two to three times daily.
• Formulations: Elixinol comes in several forms but there is no evidence that one is better than the other. Hemp Oil Liposomes 100-300mg in 1oz., is water soluble and may be more potent per mg than the oils and better tasting. Tinctures and Liposomes are effective topically using several drops rubbed into the joint or area of pain or trauma.
• Side Effects: fatigue, vivid dreams. CBD is not toxic and has no overdose levels. If a side effect is suspected reduce the CBD amount.
• Interactions: No drug interactions have been documented. No coagulation effects.
• Nutritional support: omega-3 oils help CBD by stimulating the endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS) in the body. Algae or fish oils are a healthy source for omega-3. Avoid all processed foods especially sugar. A ketogenic diet consists of very low carbohydrate, high fat, and modest protein, without grains or dairy. For more information go to https://goo.gl/54UHyv
• Maintenance Dose: Keep adjusting the dose, timing and frequency to meet your particular needs. Many users are able to reduce their CBD dose to 1/4 of their acute dose after 2-3 months.
