How Does CBD Help With Hormonal Imbalance?

Hormones are chemicals that regulate the bodily functions in both males and females. The imbalance of these chemicals can cause a number of symptoms from acne, weight gain or loss to depression. Hormone levels also affect your appetite – making it harder to eat when you’re depressed or lessening your desire for food completely with an eating disorder like anorexia nervosa. CBD has been shown to relieve feelings of stress and anxiety which is often associated with hormonal imbalances as well as OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). Some people have found relief from their condition by using CBD products including cannabis oils, pills, capsules, vaporizer pens and topical creams containing cannabidiol for pain management alone or in conjunction with other medications.

• Stressful events such as pregnancy, childbirth, major surgeries, death in the family etc.

How does CBD help?

Some research indicates that the cannabinoids in cannabis may mimic compounds our body produces called endocannabinoids. These can bind to receptors throughout your brain linking them up to a network regulating appetite hormones such as leptin and ghrelin – these hormones tell your brain when you’re hungry and how much to eat.

What are the symptoms?

• Acne  – acne can be caused by increased testosterone levels – high cortisol levels (which is also linked to depression) increase sebum production that clogs pores breaking out skin cells into whiteheads or blackheads so keeping them clean would be the best.
• Weight gain or loss – this can be a result of too much cortisol and not enough progesterone, so eating more protein may help balance it out. CBD has also shown to suppress appetite which could make you feel fuller and reduce your hunger levels if needed.
• Depression – some people who suffer from depression are using CBD products that include cannabis oils, pills capsules vaporizers pens topical creams containing cannabidiol for pain management alone or in conjunction with other medications.
