When we sleep, we promote healing properties throughout the body. Getting a good night’s sleep is critical for optimal health. The side effects and complications associated with sleep disorders are irritability, fatigue, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disorders, chronic disease, diabetes, depression, behavioral issues, stroke, and brain function impairment. If not rectified, over time, sleep deprivation can lead to heart attacks, stroke, diabetes, and other serious complications.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, insomnia and sleep disruptions can be caused by the following:
• Medical conditions (sleep apnea, back pain, acid reflux, arthritis)
• Depression
• Anxiety
• PTSD
• Lifestyle Disruptors (naps, shift work, circadian
rhythm imbalance)
• Medications
• Caffeine
• Alcohol
• Nicotine
• Heavy meals
Recent Study on CBD & Insomnia
In 2019, Dr. Scott Shannon and his researchers conducted a study called, “Cannabidiol in Anxiety and Sleep: A Large Case Series.” Their objective was to determine whether CBD helps improve sleep and/or anxiety in a clinical population. The final sample consisted of 72 adults presenting with primary concerns of anxiety or poor sleep. Anxiety scores decreased within the first month in 57 patients (79.2%) and remained decreased during the study duration. Sleep scores improved within the first month in 48 patients (66.7%) but fluctuated over time. CBD was well tolerated in all but 3 patients. Their conclusion reported that cannabidiol may hold benefit for anxiety-related disorders, and that more controlled clinical studies are needed.1
This suggests that CBD could possibly help increase the total amount of time that you sleep at once – helping insomniacs get a full night’s rest without the use of chemical sleep aids. This is more evidence that CBD can work similarly to THC without having a psychoactive impact that is debilitating or in some situations cause drowsiness that is too much for normal function.1
If you have diagnosed insomnia, tinctures of CBD oil, gummies or other supplemental versions may be suitable for your condition.
Studies have shown multiple health benefits of CBD:
• Relieves pain
• Anti-inflammatory response
• Lessens nausea
• Reduces anxiety
• Reduces cognitive impairment
• Anti-tumor factors
• Cancer cell death
• Cancer cell growth inhibitor
• Reduces Seizures/anticonvulsant
• Anti-psychotic
• Improves sleep
• Fights viral infections
• Relaxes muscles
• Anti-muscle spasm mechanisms
• Reduces beta-amyloid plaque
• Promotes pet health and reduces anxiety
• Reduces skin inflammation
• Brightens and tightens skin
CBD Explained
Our brains and nerve cells have cannabinoid receptors, so our bodies react naturally to cannabis (industrial hemp). The structure of cannabis interacts directly with our cells. Our natural endocannabinoid system works synergistically with industrial hemp, creating a multitude of beneficial reactions in the body. The endocannabinoid cells have tiny receptors that take in chemicals and produce responses. This natural system in our bodies regulates things like mood, sleeping, immunity, pleasure, memory, and much more.
CBD derived from Hemp Oil is becoming a trusted source by many individuals for its multiple benefits.
The Quality of Hemp Products is Critical
Strict analysis and product quality through highly-regarded labs such as Kaycha. This process and certification makes certain that your hemp products are clean, free of mycotoxins, heavy metals and other harmful substances.
Hemp Joi offers multiple varieties of products from gummies to tinctures and salves. Hemp Joi is also a carrier of the highly sought out Delta 8 products.
What is Delta 8?
Delta 8 is derived from THC and is less potent and is thought to have less psychoactive components than Delta 9. According the the National Cancer Institute, Delta 8 is described in the following way:
Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol
An analogue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) with antiemetic, anxiolytic, appetite-stimulating, analgesic, and neuroprotective properties. Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-8-THC) binds to the cannabinoid G-protein coupled receptor CB1, located in the central nervous system; CB1 receptor activation inhibits adenyl cyclase, increases mitogen-activated protein kinase activities, modulates several potassium channel conductances and inhibits N- and P/Q-type Ca2+ channels. This agent exhibits a lower psychotropic potency than delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9-THC), the primary form of THC found in cannabis.
