Can CBD Aid Insomnia?

If you’ve laid in bed hopelessly trying to drift off, you’ll have felt the exasperation of trying to achieve a peaceful night’s sleep when it seems so out of reach. Only those with sleep issues know how frustrating insomnia can be. Having difficulty falling (and staying) asleep can be incredibly debilitating and have a hugely negative impact on day-to-day life. Could CBD be the natural answer insomniacs are looking for?

Why is Sleep So Important?

Sleep is a vital body function required to recharge the body and mind. Insomnia is often linked to anxiety and those who experience sleeplessness can become exhausted and stressed out. This leads to a vicious circle of fatigue and anxiety with each issue amplifying the other. We need sleep to be well; without enough restorative sleep our overall health and wellbeing suffers.

Can CBD Be Used For a Restful Sleep?

Feeling more rested and in control shouldn’t be a luxury reserved for the lucky few – achieving a better quality (and length) of sleep will vastly improve your mood, your health and your life. When you feel more rested and in control, you can achieve anything you want to achieve, which is why we developed a range of pure premium quality CBD to help those seeking inner restfulness. You’ll be glad you started your new natural daily self-care routine today…

Common CBD Questions

What is CBD good for?

CBD is a pure plant extract, a food supplement, a herbal health booster that is more effective than anything we’ve experienced from nature before. CBD works by interacting with receptors in the body’s Endocannabinoid System (ECS) to help enhance its responses to factors such as stress, pain, inflammation, and fatigue. There are many uses for CBD oil – civilisations have used hemp (of which CBD oil is a derivative) for its restorative and remedial properties throughout the ages. However due to current UK law, CBD oil manufacturers aren’t allowed to lay claim to the benefits of this botanical supplement. Because we make CBD oil, our hands are tied by that restriction and so we invite you to do your own research on the numerous benefits of this natural herbal supplement. Have a look at this blog post to hear how some of our customers find their experience of using CBD oil and how it has enabled them to lead a lighter, brighter, more balanced lifestyle.

This was pivotal because past studies had only looked at the effects of cannabis and not CBD (which unlike cannabis is free of the psychoactive compound THC).
