Women have specific health and wellness issues that can sometimes be troublesome and hard to manage. CBD is an increasingly popular way to effectively deal with women's health problems, whether it be menstrual cramps, pelvic pain, skin changes, hair quality, menopause or hormonal fluctuations. In this article we will talk more about these health problems and why CBD can help.
Most Common Female Health Problems
According to the World Health Organisation, the top 10 women's health problems are as follows:
1. Reproductive health
Reproductive health concerns are responsible for one third of all health problems experienced by women. These issues include trouble getting pregnant / infertility, pregnancy complications, contraception issues, and postpartum illness.
3. Childbirth and postnatal health
Less of an issue in the western world, but one that is still globally important. Women still die to become profoundly sick as a result of childbirth and postpartum issues.
4. Sexually transmitted diseases
Some STDs can affect women very differently to men. For example, chlamydia is harmless in men - they are just carriers - but can cause pelvic disease and infertility in women.
5. Mental health.
Women are prone to depression and anxiety, with an estimated 1 in 10 women taking antidepressants in the UK.
6. Menopause.
Menopause is still largely misunderstood and many women struggle to get the help and support they need during this hormonal transition. Some symptoms can be mild, and others such as panic attacks and extreme tiredness can be quite draining.
7. Arthritis
Two thirds of people with arthritis are women. This is because women's joints are more lax than mens, making them prone to injury.
8. Insomnia
Women tend to experience sleep disturbances more than men. This could be due to increased anxiety, or practical issues like having to feed a baby in the night.
9. Mensural cramps and discomfort
People who ave periods can experience migraines, pain, bloating, mood changes and other side effects. Sometimes pain killers are the only option and not always effective.
10. Migraines
It is thought that up to 85% of migraine sufferers are female. Migraines can be extremely distressing and hard to manage, and sometimes align with a monthly cycle.
What Can CBD Help With?
Not all of the above conditions can be helped with CBD, but some can.
CBD is a compound derived from the cannabis plant. It is healthy, gentle, safe and effective at treating various ailments, including skin problems, pain, mental health problems and neurological diseases.
Is CBD safe and legal to use? Yes, it is. CBD is not the same as THC. THC is another compound derived from the cannabis plant but it is the psychoactive element - the part that is illegal to use in the UK. CBD, on the other hand, will not get you stoned and is safe and legal to use. When you buy CBD, there might be a trace of THC in the product if it is full spectrum. But this will be specified on the lab report and will not be present in enough quantities to have an effect on you.
There has been much research into CBD over the years, and evidence has suggested CBD can help with the follow issues:
Period Pain
CBD is generally a great pain reliever. Period pain can be bothersome, and in some cases, girls and women miss school or work due to the severity of the pain. Taking CBD can help reduce period pain. A CBD capsule each day can make all the difference to some women who would prefer not to take pain killers each month.
Arthritis
Again, because CBD is such a good pain reliever, women with arthritis can find they are more mobile after using CBD over a period of time. In one study, 36% of people found CBD to be effective. As arthritis is a chronic condition, it can be a huge relief to decrease persistent pain levels. Also, taking CBD is gentle and safe, whereas pain killers can be addictive and sometimes dangerous. Therefore, CBD also reduces the risk of adverse effects from prescription pain killers.
Sleep
CBD has shown to be effective at combating insomnia. Insomnia can lead to a range of other problems including high blood pressure, obesity and anxiety. CBD in the form of a vape can reduce anxiety, relax the body and mind, and help ease you off into a better night's sleep. You can also get CBD bath products and topical lotions to apply before bed.
Headaches and Migraines
As already stated, pain can be reduced through the regular use of CBD. Research has shown promising results, stating that CBD can provide temporary relief during acute episodes.
Menopause
While nothing will stop the menopause, CBD can help with some of the symptoms. For example, a common symptom of menopause is insomnia, and this is something we already know CBD can combat. Another symptom is skin changes and hair loss. CBD skincare products can help keep skin healthy and balanced during this difficult time.
