Taken orally, CBD is great for bringing a sense of calm in times of crisis. A brilliant handbag or desk essential, it also moderates stress so you feel far less frazzled. It’s excellent at easing chronic pain and tension, plus those who suffer from anxiety often extol its zen-inducing benefits, too. Meanwhile, initial studies also show it may help with sleep issues, depression, inflammation, migraines, joint pain, fibromyalgia, and even some skin conditions including acne.
Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (aka THC, the primary psychoactive element in marijuana which causes the ‘high’), CBD is non-psychoactive, so there’s no ‘high’. The CBD products here contain just 0.2% THC, making them legal and safe to use.
